Free Sat Prep and Review: Best Lessons on Khan Academy to Get Your SAT Math Goal Score (500-800 on SAT Math)
First and Foremost, I would like to state I primarily use 1600.io for test prep and highly recommend it for my SAT students. While we also use Khan, I just prefer 1600.io as it has up to date videos for every single practice test. While I see the value in Khan Academy, I have a lot of reservations after what I read in Paul Tough’s book, The Years that Matter Most (read more about my concerns in this ChalkBeat Article).
However, right now I am writing this in the middle of the global pandemic that is Covid-19. Many educators and students are familiar with Khan Academy. I don’t want to take you all away from a system that is comfortable. As a result, I used data from Khan Academy to determine which concepts were most tested for test 1-10, including test 2 and 4 which have since been deleted but whose classifications I obtained previously. I came up with recommendations based on that information.
Quick Notes:
I am not associated with Khan Academy. This is not an official list from Khan Academy.
I find for my students aiming for a 1600 and my students with a 1000, the best place to start is usually Problem Solving and Data Analysis. I say this because many of my students in higher level math classes have forgotten some of these foundation questions or are racing through these questions because they perceive them to be easy and get them wrong as a result. I find for my students who have not taken higher level math and who may feel intimidated by the math sections that this section is easy to master and teach. There is more opportunity here for students on both ends.
This is not rigid. The only lessons that are “necessary,” in my opinion, are 500 lessons. You could pick up more lessons in one area, such as Heart of Algebra, if you don’t feel you are making progress in another, such as Problem Solving and Data Analysis.
