Help all students reach their SAT goals with a Khan Academy district partnership

What'd you get on the math part? 4 30. What did you think you needed? I don't know, my teacher told me 420. Really? Oh my God, I'm so sorry. You did it, and it's a big weight lifted off your shoulder. It's been happening all day; I'm graduating.

The difference that Khan Academy has made for my students is giving them real adaptive results that change the trajectory that that student is on, and they can actually see an outcome as far as a change in their SAT score. We had students who, by using Khan, they were able to make their graduation requirements. Seeing student success really is what propelled us—that this is the way we needed to go in our district.

The benefit that Khan Academy brings to our district here in Osceola County is that it allows all of our students to have an equal opportunity to be ready for the SAT. We have proven results with the use of Khan Academy. We know that when students score as high as they possibly can on the SAT, that it opens doors for them.

My last score of SAT was 410, and that was like one question, but like behind from passing the test, and now I got a 4 30, and I am able to graduate. So I took the ACT twice—um, junior year and senior year. When I took it in junior year, I used Khan Academy just yet, and in senior year, I took it again. I actually was using Khan Academy over the summer; my points increased by about 120, 130.

With students who have done really well with Khan Academy are our emerging bilingual students. When they're trying to get this concordance score on the SAT or ACT, I see them jump so far. Since English is not my first language, it actually helped me how to read and write. For example, questions with semicolons—I know how to do them because of Khan Academy. So I think that was a lot of buy-in as far as from the student side with using Khan Academy because they were seeing, like, "Oh, it's right" or "Oh, it works."

Khan Academy is a guaranteed way to increase student achievement as it relates to SAT. Everything I practiced on Khan was on the test. Thank you, Khan Academy! You guys for providing the tools that I needed to pass. I really appreciate it. Super, super happy!
