Attention Juniors!!!
Help your students join the free SAT® practice movement! Use PSAT/NMSQT® scores to unlock a free SAT study plan on Khan Academy®.
It's SAT Practice Week, beginning today through January 29, and we're celebrating the more than 13 million students who've used Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy. As a leader who helped your school offer the PSAT/NMSQT, you're invited to participate in SAT Practice Week by encouraging your students to sign up for Official SAT Practice and send their PSAT/NMSQT scores to Khan Academy.
After sharing their scores, your students' Official SAT Practice experience will be completely customized to indicate their strengths and weaknesses. All it takes is following a few steps to link their College Board and Khan Academy accounts while signing up.
Information on linking accounts: https://signup.collegeboard.org/official-sat-practice/?SFMC_cid=EM883747-&rid=47697345
