Research Results Highlights• Studying for the SAT for 20 hours on free Official SAT Practice on Khan

Academy is associated with an average score gain of 115 points, nearly double the average score gain compared to students who don’t use Khan Academy.

• When students practiced for shorter periods of time, there were still meaningful score gains. For example, 6-8 hours of practice was associated with an average 90-point increase from the PSAT/NMSQT to the SAT.

• Many students are seeing extraordinary results. Out of nearly 250,000 test takers studied, more than 16,000 gained 200 points or more between the PSAT/NMSQT and SAT.
