* Twice as many students report using Khan Academy as paying for commercial test prep. * Nearly 40% of all test takers report using our free Official SAT Practice, making it the number one tool for SAT prep. We’re glad so many people are finding it helpful! Since its launch in 2015, Khan Academy’s free Official SAT Practice has been used by more than 3.7 million students. Score gains were consistent across genders, family income levels, races, ethnicities, high school GPAs, and parental education levels. Together with the College Board-the maker of the SAT-we studied data from nearly a quarter million high school students from the graduating class of 2017 who took the PSAT/NMSQT and the new SAT in the past year. We’re also excited that more than 16,000 students from the class of 2017 who used Official SAT Practice improved their scores by more than 200 points. Six hours of study on Official SAT Practice is associated with an average 90-point increase-no small bump. Shorter periods of time also correlate with meaningful score gains.

If you don’t have 20 hours to practice, don’t worry. Start getting ready for the SAT today! We think a 115-point score gain can make a real difference when applying to college. Official SAT Practice is free for everyone and personalized for each student. That’s nearly double the average score gain compared to students who don’t use our free test prep.

We’re excited to announce today that studying for the SAT for 20 hours on Khan Academy’s free Official SAT Practice is associated with an average score gain of 115 points.
