How to Use Khan Academy

Ready to get started.

With Official Digital SAT Prep on Khan Academy ® , you can sharpen your strengths and boost your challenge areas. The course content is developed in partnership with College Board, so you know you're getting official practice directly from the people who created the test. Best of all, it's free!

Here's a snapshot of what you'll find on Khan Academy:

• Practice test breakdowns: After you've taken an SAT practice test in Bluebook™, log in to My Practice to view your scores. From your scorecard or the Score Details page, click the Practice on Khan Academy button to access a special walk-through course that provides a detailed explanation of every question on that practice test. At the end of each explanation, there's a link to a lesson that covers the skills you need to answer questions correctly.
• Leveled practice: Khan Academy's Official Digital SAT Prep course covers every skill on the test at three levels: Foundations, Medium, and Advanced. Read our study tips below to learn how to make leveled practice work for you.
• Video examples: Each skill in the course features short video walk-throughs of example questions at different difficulty levels. Most videos are around 5 minutes long. Tip: Pause the video as you watch so you can follow along and try to answer the question yourself.
• Diagnostics, quizzes, and tests: Not sure where to start with Khan Academy? Click into the Digital SAT Reading and Writing course or the Digital SAT Math course and take a Course Challenge, a short test covering all the skills on that test to help you identify which areas to focus on. Once you've started the course, you can also take short skill-specific quizzes and unit tests to check your progress toward mastery.

Khan Academy Study Tips

• It may be tempting to spend all your time reviewing the skills where you need the most help, but try breaking up those intense study sessions with a short quiz on a skill that you've almost mastered. This exercise will keep you motivated, prevent your brain from getting fatigued, and boost your confidence.
• Got a few free minutes in your day? Pick a specific time to watch 2–3 of the example videos in the course—on the bus, in study hall, after you eat dinner, whatever works for you—then stick to that time every day. Most of the videos are less than 5 minutes, so it won't take too long, and you'll be surprised how much these micro-study sessions help you prepare for the test.
• If you have specific skills you really want to focus on, leveled practice will be your best friend. Start by working through the related lessons and videos for that skill in their Foundations unit. Once you feel confident with that content, move to the Medium unit, then the Advanced unit. By gradually increasing the difficulty, you're training your brain to master the skill and reinforcing the knowledge as you build it.
• An ideal study schedule includes time to review the lesson content and practice each skill covered in the course, at each level (foundations, medium, and advanced)—even if you didn't miss any questions in a given skill on your initial course challenge or practice test. This strategy will ensure that you're familiar with all the skills and how they're tested, and it will also provide the most effective preparation for challenging items across the board.

Enhancing Copilot for Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Education

• Content Type
• Career readiness skills
• Learning Accelerators
• Education decision makers
• IT professionals
• Microsoft 365
• Microsoft Copilot
• Microsoft Forms
• Microsoft Teams
• Minecraft Education

Today, we’re announcing new capabilities built to help educators and students save time, create impactful content, and deepen learning experiences within Copilot for Microsoft 365. We’ll also share over a dozen updates including global expansion of Khanmigo for Teachers, Minecraft Education Lesson Crafter, Learning Accelerators and Teams for Education news, free access to Figma through our new partnership, and more value coming to Microsoft Education.

We’re thrilled to share over 20 updates and resources and show them in action next week at ISTELive 24 in Denver, Colorado, US. Join us at the show to learn more and hear about the latest from Microsoft Education at our booth and in dozens of sessions .

Enhancing Copilot for Microsoft 365 in education

We’ve loved seeing the early adoption and benefits from education institutions already using Microsoft Copilot , our no-cost AI-powered chat with data protection, and Copilot for Microsoft 365 , an add-on for AI assistance integrated with the apps you use every day. We’re excited to now bring even more value to education in Copilot for Microsoft 365 with a new set of capabilities designed for relevant and powerful use by educators and students. These features will be included in Copilot for Microsoft 365 and will be in private previews over the coming months. Education institutions with any academic license are eligible to purchase Copilot for Microsoft 365, with no minimum, for their faculty, staff, and students aged 18 and older.

Educators will be able to use a guided content generation experience to easily kickstart materials like assignments, lesson plans, lecture slides, and more based on pedagogical requirements across Microsoft 365 apps such as Teams, Word, and PowerPoint. This includes the ability to align content to over five million education standards from 35 countries for both public and private institutions through EdGate .

Additionally, educators now have access to quiz generation through Copilot in Forms which allows them to generate quizzes and correct answers, support students with step-by-step solutions for each question, and easily assign quizzes to classes in Teams for Education. Educators can use Copilot to generate quizzes based on their own files or pasted text. Later this year, educators will be able to align the quizzes to education standards. 

Our recent research found that students are already using AI to quickly receive initial feedback on their work. We’re excited to help educators do the same in meaningful ways with suggested AI feedback . Educators review, edit, or discard suggested student feedback, which is based on individual student progress, rubrics selections, or assignment instructions. Educators can start by selecting initial rubric scores and then add the corresponding draft feedback directly into student Word documents in the form of comments or share overall feedback in a Teams Assignment.

AI has the potential to further support students by accelerating and deepening their learning process in engaging ways. Interactive practice experiences will be available for educators to create and share with their students, or for students to generate on their own to help them save time and increase subject matter retention on their specific learning content. They’ll be able to use Copilot functionality across Microsoft 365 apps like OneNote to easily build study materials like flashcards and guided chat experiences based on their learning content. The guided chat experience is designed to help learners walk through and engage with the content to ask questions, get immediate feedback, and test their knowledge. 

To better support educators and students with their daily tasks, we’ll be launching built-in learning and teaching extensions to help guide them through relevant activities and provide contextual, persona-based support in Copilot. They’ll see custom prompts to get started with tasks like building an interactive lecture or receiving initial feedback on their work.

For staff, educators, and students to be able to maximize the value of Copilot for Microsoft 365, it’s essential to have access to relevant data and files. We’re introducing education data integration to generate more helpful responses, insights, and content based on personal and organizational information. This will include data from Teams for Education such as Classwork, Assignments, Grades, class rosters, and more. We’ll also interoperate data from Learning Management Systems (LMS) in the future for simpler, connected, experiences across platforms including many of these new AI-powered capabilities.

Read more about guided content generation, standards-alignment, suggested AI feedback, interactive practice experiences, learning and teaching extensions, and education data integration in the June Edition of What’s New in Microsoft EDU .

Minecraft Education will be previewing its new Lesson Crafter web tool at ISTE, which will be available for free in the coming months. Lesson Crafter allows educators to generate custom easy-to-teach lesson plans for Minecraft Education tailored to the needs of their learners on any topic and age range. Lesson Crafter will make it easier to get started teaching with Minecraft and give more teachers the opportunity to bring fun, immersive game-based learning into their classrooms.

Empowering educators and learners with Learning Accelerators, Teams for Education, and Learning Management Systems

Our newest Learning Accelerator , Speaker Progress, will be generally available by July! Speaker Progress helps students build confidence in their presentation skills with real-time feedback. Educators can create presentation assignments where students will receive real-time coaching on their public speaking skills like their pace, pitch, filler words, and more. Students and educators can view a rehearsal report of top strengths and top opportunities with targeted feedback to help students improve.

Math Progress, coming to preview in July, enhances numeracy gains by streamlining the creation, review, and analysis of math practice for educators and providing feedback to students on the problems they did not solve correctly. Both Speaker Progress and Math Progress provide actionable insights to help educators collect and visualize presentation and numeracy data to track progress and improve student outcomes. 

A powerful communication app with built-in AI tools

To ensure convenient access to all education institutions, we’re bringing the Learning Accelerators and Teams Assignments to your LMS through a new LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) private preview. Educators will be able to use all the capabilities of Teams Assignments within their LMS and sync content like files and grades. Learn more from our blog about existing LMS integrations .

Partnering with Figma to help prepare students for the future

Now more than ever, skills like collaboration, creativity, and strategic planning are critical for students in an ever-changing world. That’s just one of the reasons we’re excited to announce a new partnership with Figma to provide free access to Figma and FigJam enterprise tiers for all Microsoft K-12 educators and students. Figma and FigJam are design and collaboration software used by professional designers, engineers, and makers of all kinds. They can support students in building together—in a fun, interactive space that simultaneously prepares them for future career opportunities. Figma’s education offering through Microsoft 365 schools will be available in the US, UK, and Japan today, with plans for future international expansions. Admins and school leaders can apply here to get started .

We’re thrilled to partner with Microsoft to bring Figma into more classrooms. Currently, Figma is available in over 5,000 K-12 schools through our free education plan, and teaming up with Microsoft will help even more students across the world access Figma. Today’s students are tomorrow’s product builders, designers, developers and problem solvers—and we want to equip them with the best tools to bring their ideas from imagination to reality. Yuhki Yamashita, Chief Product Officer, Figma
