Free SAT Prep with Khan Academy

By: Elizabeth Hadley

Are you looking to increase your SAT score? Check out Khan Academy for free, personalized SAT prep practice! 

Khan Academy is an entirely free resource that provides students an advantage in increasing their SAT scores and offers personalized critical math and reading skills. Test prep is often considered expensive, but Khan Academy is a free resource that allows you to practice anytime that fits your schedule.  

Research from Khan Academy shows that students who spend at least six hours on the platform working on SAT practice and take a practice test, on average, increased their score by 39 points. These increases make students more likely to earn a Florida Bright Futures scholarship and enter local, state, and national colleges and universities. Additionally, Florida accepts SAT concordant scores for specific graduation requirements and provides skills for students to be successful in future careers.

Students who recently took the PSAT will receive their scores shortly, so it will be the perfect time to review how you did, see where you would like to improve, and log in to Khan Academy for practice. 

For students in grades 9-12, visit the Khan icon in ClassLink or visit www.khanacademy.org/sat for more information.
