Students are encouraged to create Khan Academy account to utilize free tools for SAT Suite of Assessments
Broken Arrow Public Schools has adopted the SAT Suite of Assessments from The College Board for students in grades 8-12 to help prepare them for a successful transition to college. This group of assessments includes the PSAT 8/9, PSAT/NMSQT and the SAT.
Each test measures the same skills and knowledge in ways that make sense for different grade levels. It also allows students, parents and educators to monitor progress.
Khan Academy, the official SAT practicing website, offers FREE practice exercises, instructional videos and a personalized learning dashboard that empower students to study for these assessments at their own pace inside and outside of the classroom.
Next semester, we will be offering all students an opportunity to sign up for an account through Khan Academy and The College Board. If a student would like to sign up earlier, they may create one at home with a parent or guardian or they may wait until the opportunity at school to create an account. If they already have an active Khan Academy account, then they do not need to create a new one.
To create an account, visit Khan Academy. Students ages 13 and over will need an email address, their date of birth, create username and a unique password. Students under the age of 13 will need their date of birth, their parent’s email address, create username and password. Parents with students under the age of 13 will receive an email from Khan Academy to approve the account within seven days of creation. If the account is not approved, it will be deleted.
Once accounts have been created in the Khan Academy and the College Board, the programs can be linked together. The College Board will share a student’s result from the SAT Suite of Assessments with Khan Academy. The Khan Academy can then tailor SAT practice lessons to the student’s needs. Teachers can also create accounts that link to a student’s account to support student learning and success.
