TESTING
Have you taken a test yet?
Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy
It’s almost summer! If you’re taking the PSAT or SAT in the fall, join more than 1 million students who are using Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy to get a head start.
We partnered with the College Board—the people who make the SAT—to create the only official SAT prep, and it’s 100% free. If you spend just a couple hours per week preparing with our practice problems, videos, articles, and timed practice tests, you’ll feel much more confident when test day arrives.
Start your SAT prep today! We want to support you, so you’ll find us answering your questions on our site and through live study sessions on Facebook.
Let us know how it’s going for you on Facebook or Twitter using the hashtag #KhanSummer, or write to us at KhanSummer@khanacademy.org
