Georgia students looking to improve their SAT score have new, free tools at their disposal.
The nonprofit Khan Academy has teamed up with the College Board, which administers the SAT, to provide a free online study program. The partnership was officially announced Tuesday.
The program will include:
- thousands of practice questions written in partnership with the developers creating a redesigned SAT that will be unveiled next year
- four official full-length practice tests written by the College Board
- interactive questions, video lessons, and reference articles
- personalized practice recommendations directly tied to specific skills on the test
The interactive practice tools are designed to help “level the playing field for students who are interested in taking the SAT and preparing for college-level courses,” College Board officials said in a news release.
Nearly 75,000 Georgia high school seniors — a 77 percent participation rate — took the SAT in 2014, according to state officials. The average Georgia SAT score, 1445, was about 50 points below the national average.
