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

[Jennifer Dye]

Yes, I should have mentioned that as well. I did know that we had training available via MeL, but didn't think of it when I decided to forward the information. Michigan-specific prep is certainly better than generic.

Hello all,

Thanks Jennifer for pointing out Khan Academy.  
In MeL Teens, College Bound  http://teens.mel.org/MeLCollegeBound we link to Khan Academy and CollegeBoard.  
For CollegeBoard, we link to the CollegeBoard page set up specifically for Michigan, Michigan and the SAT at https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/state-partnerships/michigan?excmpid=MTG308-AL-1-mat.  
For Khan Academy, we have 2 links.  One takes you directly to the page for the current SAT https://www.khanacademy.org/test-prep/sat/full-length-SAT-1 where you can immediately begin practicing on a real, full-length SAT practice test.  The second is for the NEW SAT which also includes practice tests.

I heard this on Morning Edition today. Khan Academy is partnering with the College Board to provide free test prep resources for the SAT. 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.

Here's the information from Khan Academy's site: https://www.khanacademy.org/sat
