Hey there, I'm prepping for the ACT, and I've heard a lot about Khan Academy's resources. Is their ACT practice worth the time? Has anyone had success improving their score using Khan Academy?
Hello! Many students find Khan Academy's resources useful due to its interactive approach and personalized learning plan. It provides an array of content from full practice tests to subject-specific lessons and quizzes.
It is important to remember that engagement and consistency are key to any test-prep strategy. Regular practice can ensure that you become familiar with the format of the ACT and gives you a chance to apply strategies that you learn.
In instances, I've seen students say that they found Khan Academy helpful because they found the explanations of answers to be detailed and concise, especially those who prefer a self-paced learning environment. Khan Academy also enables you to track your progress, making it straightforward to identify areas where you need further review.
Something to keep in mind, though: while Khan Academy specifically caters to SAT prep—having partnered with the College Board—they do not officially support ACT prep. Even so, many of their resources can still prove invaluable, especially in terms of fundamental subject understanding, for the ACT.
Also, consider complementing your Khan Academy work with official ACT materials, which will provide the most accurate representation of the test. These resources, combined with additional targeted learning opportunities like those available through CollegeVine, can contribute greatly to your overall ACT preparation plan. Good luck!
