In addition, there is very little in the way of test-taking strategy in the explanations. Obviously, students find this frustrating when they struggle with a particular question, they expect the video explanation to review that question, not just the broadly relevant topic. #3 – Weak explanations that leave students discouraged.įor many questions on Khan Academy’s SAT program, when a student gets a question wrong, the video explanation that plays does not explain that particular question––rather, it is a video in that general area of math or English.
While Khan Academy may host public webinars from time to time and might post help videos, schools will not be able to call with questions or schedule a webinar for one or more teachers to jump on at a convenient time. Khan Academy will not be providing schools with customer support. Guidance counselors, administrators, and teachers will have questions about the most effective way to use a program. Like any large organizations, schools need support for the programs they use. #2 – No live, human customer support for schools. Colleges will accept either SAT or ACT scores, so we’re giving students two chances to be successful. It is in students’ best interest to at least become familiar with both exams. With Method Test Prep, students get ACT and SAT prep under one program, so this is never an issue. The last thing students want is to have to set up two accounts: one to prepare for the SAT and one to prepare for the ACT. #1 – No ACT preparation through the Khan Academy.Īnd, unfortunately, there never will be: the competition between the College Board and the ACT is intense. For schools hoping to use the Khan Academy as the go-to option for test preparation, the issues are many. Recently, a school asked us why they should continue to pay for our school-based program when they can use the free program through the College Board’s partnership with the Khan Academy.
