Words In Context
Students will need to:

Master relevant vocabulary
Engage in close reading
Command of Evidence
Students will be asked to:
Interpret, synthesize, and use evidence
found in a wide range of sources

Essay Analyzing a Source
The redesigned essay will:
More closely mirror college writing
assignments
Cultivate close reading, careful analysis,
and clear writing
Promote the practice of reading a wide
variety of arguments and analyzing an
authors work
Math that Matters Most
Current research shows that three key areas
most contribute to readiness for college and
career training:
Problem Solving and Data Analysis
(quantitative literacy)
Heart of Algebra (mastery of linear
equations)
Passport to Advanced Math (familiarity with
more complex equations)
Problems Grounded in Real-World Contexts
Students will engage with questions that:
Directly relate to the work performed in
college and career
Include charts, graphs, and passages likely
to be encountered in science, social
science, and other majors and careers
Feature multistep applications to solve
problems in science, social science, career
scenarios, and other real-life contexts
Analysis in Science and in History/Social Studies
Students will apply their reading, writing,
language, and math skills to answer questions
in science, history, and social studies contexts.
U.S. Founding Documents and
the Great Global Conversation
The redesigned SAT will include one of the
following:
An excerpt from one of the Founding
Documents
A text from the ongoing Great Global
Conversation about freedom, justice, and
human dignity
No prior knowledge of the text will be required.

KHAN ACADEMY HOME
Students will see a tile for
New SAT when they log
into Khan Academy. Click
this to get started.
WELCOME TO SAT
PRACTICE
These first questions make
sure the student is
preparing for the new SAT.
Rising sophomores and
juniors can also use this
system to prepare for the
PSAT, which will happen
this October.
WELCOME TO SAT
PRACTICE
The new SAT starts in
March 2016.
Students who are rising
seniors (class of 2016) will
not take this new SAT,
because it would come
after their college
application deadlines.
WELCOME TO SAT
PRACTICE
Were asking students
where theyre located so
we can connect them to
local opportunities for
practicing. (Perhaps Boys
and Girls Clubs around the
country!)
WELCOME TO SAT
PRACTICE
The students pick what to
work on first. On their next
visit, the system will
recommend working on
the other subject.
DIAGNOSTIC QUIZZES
First, we want students to
complete each subjects
four diagnostic quizzes so
we can find their starting
levels and identify what
they should practice first.
MATH DIAGNOSTIC QUIZZES
Students will take four 10question untimed math
quizzes that cover every
skill on the SAT.
DIAGNOSTIC QUIZZES
For answering correctly,
they start at Level 3
(medium difficulty
problems).
For answering incorrectly,
they start at Level 2
(easier problems) and will
practice those first.
DIAGNOSTIC QUIZZES
Students can review their
diagnostic quiz answers
after completing the quiz.
DIAGNOSTIC QUIZZES
After finishing the first
quiz, the students are
encouraged to continue on
through the next three.
These can be completed
over a series of days, they
do not have to be done in
a single sitting.
FOCUSED PRACTICE
FOCUSED PRACTICE
Once the diagnostic
quizzes are complete, the
system will recommend
the highest value skills for
them to practice.
Students should start by
practicing the
recommended skills (here,
Right triangle word
problems).
FOCUSED PRACTICE
However, students can
also scroll down and click
to practice any of the skills
if they wish.
FOCUSED PRACTICE
When practicing a skill,
students will answer 5
questions.
If they get 3 in a row right,
they will level up to harder
problems.
If they miss 3 in a row,
they will level down to
easier problems.
FOCUSED PRACTICE
If theyre not sure how to
solve a problem, students
can click Show hint to get
a step-by-step solution.
FOCUSED PRACTICE
If theyre not sure how to
solve a problem, students
can click Show hint to get
a step-by-step solution.
FOCUSED PRACTICE
Taking a hint will count as
a miss, but its a great
way for students to learn
the skills.
FOCUSED PRACTICE
Students can also click to
watch an example video
(for an easier or a harder
problem).
FOCUSED PRACTICE
The video opens in a new
web browser tab.
READING & WRITING
READING & WRITING
DIAGNOSTICS
Like Math, Reading &
Writing also has four 10question diagnostics to
find their starting skill
levels.
READING & WRITING
DIAGNOSTICS
Before completing the
diagnostics, the individual
skill levels are disabled
(true for Math as well).
In this state, a student can
practice this skill, but they
cannot level up/down.
READING & WRITING
DIAGNOSTICS
Students can watch howto example videos where
Sal works through the
different passages and
questions.
READING & WRITING
DIAGNOSTICS
All Reading & Writing
questions on the new
exam are connected to a
text passage.
Students can scroll the
passage and the questions
independently so they can
easily see the right part of
the passage for a
particular question.
READING & WRITING
DIAGNOSTICS
Reading and Writing
currently has fewer
individual skills (we will be
adding individual grammar
skills soon), but each skill
corresponds to a specific
kind of practice the student
can do.
READING & WRITING
DIAGNOSTICS
After answering the
questions in a passage,
the student can review
their answers and read
explanations for why their
choice is right or wrong.
READING & WRITING
DIAGNOSTICS
After answering the
questions in a passage,
the student can review
their answers and read
explanations for why their
choice is right or wrong.
FULL EXAMS
FULL EXAMS
Students can take full
practice exams a section
at a time (or a whole test
at once).
FULL EXAMS
Starting in July, we will be
able to give students
scaled scores (out of
1600). Before then, we
can only supply their raw
scores, the # of questions
right/wrong.
FULL EXAMS
The student has to click
Lets go, start the timer to
start the section and the
clock.
They cannot pause the
clock for a section once it
is started if they leave, it
will keep running (though
only to the end of that
section, not the whole
test).
FULL EXAMS
In the new SAT, there are
fewer sections, but with
more questions each.
FULL EXAMS
Once the student
completes a section, they
will receive their raw score
for that section and can
review their answers.
Our practice system will
also update their skill
levels and recommend
different skills to practice.
FULL EXAMS
The next section unlocks
when the student finishes
the first or the timer runs
out. The next section wont
start until the student
chooses to start it.
