[Michlib-l] free SAT test prep from Khan Academy

[BiggThomas, Deb (MDE)]

Hi Jennifer and All--Following up on Eunice's post/reply... You all now know that Michigan is switching from the ACT to the SAT in 2016 and MeL will be prepared for that by providing supplemental test prep to what the College Board will be doing with Khan Academy in the LearningExpress Library (LEx) resource.  The College Preparation Center of LEx is the place to go to find actual timed practice tests, eBooks and tutorials for the SAT, ACT and others.  You can also find additional resources in the Teens Gateway, College Bound section, http://teens.mel.org/MeLCollegeBound as Eunice pointed out.

I have been in contact with the College Board to let them know that we have been providing college entrance test prep. here in Michigan at no cost to all for years.  In fact, Hoor Bhanpuri of the College Board and I will be presenting a session on our "collaboration" at the Fall MLA Conference in Novi!

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Kind regards,
Deb

Also in the story was a partnership with Boys and Girls Clubs to provide safe places with internet access for kids to use the tools. Public libraries should be part of this, whether as formal partners or not.
