Real SAT scores vs Khan Academy's practice tests???
Answered

Just wondering, if you've already taken the SAT how did your score compare to your Khan Academy practice scores...and did the test seem different to you at all? Also, share your SAT progress on here just for fun because us underclassmen wanna hear it! ;)

For me (and almost everyone I’ve spoken to), Khan Academy is an awesome predictor. My score on practice test was practically the same. I actually did slightly better on test day. However, if someone is nervous or a poor test taker that could cause them to perform worse making practice tests not match.

My PSAT (sophomore year) was an 1190. My SAT score (junior year) was 1300 (720 reading and 580 math). I only took two full length Khan Academy tests and got about the same scores as the ones from test day.

I am going to take the SAT again to improve my math score, specifically. The schools I’m applying to Super Score (look at your best math and reading even if from different tests).

Hope this helps :) Have a nice night!

I got almost the same score as my full length practices on Khan Academy, I went up by about 20 points.
