Delivering OpportunityThe College Board and Khan Academy

We are happy to announce that we have partnered with Khan Academy to provide free test-preparation programs and resources that will be available to all students. In our partnership with Khan Academy, we will continually work together to ensure that the practice materials are of the highest quality and truly focus on the work that matters most. And we will train tutors, counselors, mentors, and others to help students take full advantage of these resources.

Practice for the Current SAT

The redesigned SAT will not launch until spring 2016. In the meantime, students will be taking the current SAT. In our work with Khan Academy, we will focus first on the current SAT to make sure that today’s juniors and seniors can reap the benefits of this exciting new partnership. Students taking the current SAT can access high-quality practice materials on the Khan Academy site now — free of charge.

College Application Fee Waivers

Every income-eligible student who takes the SAT will receive four fee waivers to apply to college. This initiative is possible thanks to the generosity and trust of both member and nonmember colleges. It builds on Apply to 4 or More™ and Realize Your College Potential, two recent College Board initiatives to provide college-ready, low-income students with customized, targeted support for the college application process.
