Practice for the SAT Scholarship
About the Scholarship
A little practice goes a long way. With Official SAT Practice, focus on what you need most to prepare for the SAT. There are no time requirements—just take the first step to get ready for test day.
Students in the class of 2023 who complete at least one Timed Mini Section or one Diagnostic Quiz on Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy® will earn entries in monthly drawings for $500 and $40,000.
As soon as you complete a Timed Mini Section or Diagnostic Quiz, you’ll be automatically entered into monthly drawings:
