[quote=Anonymous]2 DCs both took the SAT cold last year and scored low 1400s, but both wanted 1500+.  They each did a few full-length practice tests on Khan Academy over the course of 2-3 months (which apparently are scored instantly and are the official SAT practice tests released by College Board, at least that's what DC1 told me) and then took the SAT again, and both went up over 100 points.  DC1 didn't want to do Khan Academy "prep" either, but went to check it out and found the practice tests and figured that was the best use of time... and when DC1 had such success, DC2 decided to follow in sib's footsteps a few months later.  DC1 flew through practice exams and practice scores weren't as high as actual SAT score, DC2 was more diligent and actual score was consistent with increasing practice exam scores.  But both said that by practice 3 or so, they were seeing similar questions, and understood how to do them.  Of course, most of the learning was in reviewing the mistakes, but apparently Khan Academy makes it really easy to instantly review the actual questions/answers you got wrong.  FWIW.[/quote]
