I have a student who has taken the ACT Test and would like to increase her English or grammar score. She would like to practice on the SAT practice on Khan Academy. How do I get to this? Karen Brown

I believe using the following link should bring you to SAT practice: https://www.khanacademy.org/mission/sat/practice/reading-and-writing Does that help?

Why should students choose to take the ACT vs the SAT?

This depends on which exam the admissions office at the college or university to which you are making application prefers. OR, you could apply to one of the many fine universities, like Stanford in California, that doesn't require that you take either test.

Does the ACT count as part of this

I don't believe Khan Academy has a relationship with the institution that puts on the ACT. So no, they do not have an ACT prep as far as I know.

What score do I need to get a great look from college?

It depends on the school. You can figure out what score you want to try for by looking up the ACT statistics for students admitted to any colleges you might like. Also, schools don't often take your test scores as the main factor in their admissions decisions.

What is the highest score on the SAT?

The highest possible score on the current SAT is 1600.

Does the ACT count as part of this

No. The SAT course is for the SAT.

Does this prepare you to get a max score from the beginning of the course or does it build up as you complete the course?
