The SAT is the academic pinnacle of high school. Students begin preparing as early as middle school, take practice tests sophomore year and sometimes spend thousands of dollars on test prep courses and tutoring. And though a perfect or high SAT score is nothing to scoff at; generally speaking, colleges and universities are placing less emphasis on standardized tests in their assessment of admissions applications.
Fortunately, two powerhouses in the education industry have teamed up to provide free SAT test prep. CollegeBoard and Khan Academy announced last week that they will be launching a new tool in March 2016, and it should help high school students in a big way.
According to Education Week, the platform will begin with questions aimed to determine the level of difficulty of practice questions presented in the next step. From there, students will take practice tests by subject. The results after they complete each section will feature their wrong answers along with detailed explanations of how to derive the correct answer. Additionally, the free tool will provide video references and articles to help further students’ knowledge and skills.
Education Week reports that this new tool will roll out in conjunction with the new SAT format. The goal, as stated by CollegeBoard’s President, David Coleman, is to provide the same access of preparation and expert advice to students of all incomes as opposed to only those who can afford to pay for private tutoring and courses.
The new SAT will be free of confusing or obscure vocabulary words, not penalize for wrong answers and be more of an assessment of what students are actually learning in the classroom. The test prep tool from CollegeBoard and Khan Academy will follow along the same lines.
Education Week states that the Boys and Girls Club of America will test the product first through their after-school programs, which are offered at about 4,100 locations across the country. From there, it will be rolled out to the general student population.
Again, college-hopeful high school students can expect to see the new tool in March 2016, just as the SAT test goes through revolutionary changes. In the meantime, students can take advantage of our expert advice on test prep here on Fastweb.
