When should students start using Official SAT Prep on Khan Academy?

There’s no hard-and-fast rule, but the more time students spend on Khan Academy®, the more likely they are to feel well prepared for the SAT.

We recommend that students create their Khan Academy account in the fall of their junior year, if they don't have one already. Then, they'll have several months to prepare before taking the SAT in spring of junior year.

Help your students create a practice schedule on Official Digital SAT Prep on Khan Academy and stick to it. Like sports or music, the key to feeling prepared is committing to practice.

What's the best way for students to prepare for the digital SAT?

  • Take challenging courses in high school and work hard. Day-to-day classroom work and homework develops the knowledge and skills students need to succeed on the SAT.
  • Take the PSAT/NMSQT, the PSAT 10, and the PSAT 8/9 (if your school administers these tests). These tests help students get ready for the SAT.

Students preparing for the digital SAT Suite tests will have access to all the following practice resources throughout the fall and months leading up to the U.S. digital administrations in spring 2024:

  • A test preview within the Bluebook™ app.
  • Full-length adaptive digital SAT practice tests they can take directly in the Bluebook app. Once they finish a practice test, students will be able to access their practice test score and answer explanations through the app.
  • Official Digital SAT Prep on Khan Academy® with high-quality skill and knowledge-building activities to help students prepare for the digital tests.
