0:00:06.200,0:00:07.033
- Hi, everyone.

0:00:07.033,0:00:08.720
Sal Khan here from Khan Academy.

0:00:08.720,0:00:09.960
I just wanted to welcome you

0:00:09.960,0:00:13.940
to National SAT Practice Test Day.

0:00:13.940,0:00:16.160
Now, a lot of you probably are putting

0:00:16.160,0:00:17.690
a lot of weight into the Sat.

0:00:17.690,0:00:21.560
It is an input into the[br]college admissions process,

0:00:21.560,0:00:24.270
but the one thing I wanna[br]emphasize is more important

0:00:24.270,0:00:28.400
than the SAT or your score is your ability

0:00:28.400,0:00:30.840
to practice, your ability[br]to develop yourself

0:00:30.840,0:00:33.200
and how college ready you can be.

0:00:33.200,0:00:36.050
And one thing that I've seen[br]in my life over and over again,

0:00:36.050,0:00:38.050
and I've seen in many other people's lives

0:00:38.050,0:00:40.610
is the more that you focus on the process

0:00:40.610,0:00:42.230
versus the outcome.

0:00:42.230,0:00:44.380
One, the more enjoyable it will be,

0:00:44.380,0:00:46.800
but also you'll probably[br]get a better outcome.

0:00:46.800,0:00:50.400
So as you go into National[br]SAT Practice Test Day,

0:00:50.400,0:00:52.440
and eventually as you[br]go into the real SAT,

0:00:52.440,0:00:54.560
or really if you go into[br]anything in your life

0:00:54.560,0:00:58.580
that might feel important,[br]focus on the process

0:00:58.580,0:01:01.400
and when you do so you'll[br]get into kind of a Zen Mode

0:01:01.400,0:01:04.120
and it's really starts[br]to get a little bit fun.

0:01:04.120,0:01:06.460
So take that mindset into the SAT,

0:01:06.460,0:01:09.250
put your best effort, get into the flow,

0:01:09.250,0:01:14.250
get into that zone if you[br]will, and do the best you can,

0:01:14.420,0:01:17.260
but don't get fixated[br]on what the outcome is.

0:01:17.260,0:01:20.320
So with that said, let's get started.

0:01:20.320,0:01:21.340
- Thanks Sal.

0:01:21.340,0:01:22.173
Hi, everyone.

0:01:22.173,0:01:23.630
I'm Lauren from Khan Academy.

0:01:23.630,0:01:25.260
Before we get to the practice test,

0:01:25.260,0:01:27.330
I want us to note that we're[br]giving away some prizes

0:01:27.330,0:01:29.000
for our live attendees today.

0:01:29.000,0:01:30.730
So be sure to check[br]out the notes on screen

0:01:30.730,0:01:32.710
and follow the instructions to enter.

0:01:32.710,0:01:35.810
We're giving away five, one[br]hour SATs tutoring sessions

0:01:35.810,0:01:38.410
with our SAT practice content expert.

0:01:38.410,0:01:42.720
And we're also giving your[br]way 10 $25 Amazon gift cards.

0:01:42.720,0:01:44.390
Okay everyone, let's get started

0:01:44.390,0:01:46.320
on your full full-length practice test.

0:01:46.320,0:01:48.630
The first step is to[br]log into your official

0:01:48.630,0:01:50.970
SAT practice account on Khan Academy.

0:01:50.970,0:01:55.970
So go to khanacademy.org/sat[br]and sign into your account.

0:01:56.060,0:01:58.560
If you don't have an account,[br]you can create one for free

0:01:58.560,0:02:00.268
in just a couple of minutes.

0:02:00.268,0:02:01.780
I'm already signed in.

0:02:01.780,0:02:04.100
So I'm going to click, let's go.

0:02:04.100,0:02:05.530
And once you're logged in,

0:02:05.530,0:02:09.300
you can go ahead and click on[br]Full Tests at the top here.

0:02:09.300,0:02:10.260
Today we're recommending

0:02:10.260,0:02:12.730
that you take practice test number 10,

0:02:12.730,0:02:14.180
which is the first test you'll see

0:02:14.180,0:02:15.920
after you click on Full Tests.

0:02:15.920,0:02:18.360
Practice tests number 10[br]is a newest practice test

0:02:18.360,0:02:19.330
on our site.

0:02:19.330,0:02:21.430
And like most of our practice tests,

0:02:21.430,0:02:24.630
it was previously given[br]as a real SAT exam.

0:02:24.630,0:02:26.770
So it'll give you a great[br]idea of what to expect

0:02:26.770,0:02:28.850
when you take the SAT in a few weeks.

0:02:28.850,0:02:31.330
If you've already taken[br]practice tests number 10,

0:02:31.330,0:02:33.280
you can choose one of[br]these other practice tests

0:02:33.280,0:02:35.700
to take that you haven't taken before.

0:02:35.700,0:02:37.500
Before we start the practice tests,

0:02:37.500,0:02:38.560
I want you to take a minute

0:02:38.560,0:02:40.460
and make sure you have[br]everything you need.

0:02:40.460,0:02:43.050
So you should have a[br]pen or a pencil nearby

0:02:43.050,0:02:44.690
along with some scratch paper,

0:02:44.690,0:02:45.523
so you can make notes

0:02:45.523,0:02:47.330
as you work through your math problems.

0:02:47.330,0:02:49.450
You also wanna have an approved calculator

0:02:49.450,0:02:51.090
for the final math sections,

0:02:51.090,0:02:53.820
and you can go to[br]collegeboard.com to learn about

0:02:53.820,0:02:56.740
what calculators are[br]approved for the test.

0:02:56.740,0:02:58.500
Generally, most graphing calculators,

0:02:58.500,0:03:00.220
all scientific calculators

0:03:00.220,0:03:02.610
and all four-function[br]calculators are approved.

0:03:02.610,0:03:04.550
So whatever calculator you have today,

0:03:04.550,0:03:07.090
that will be just fine[br]for the practice test.

0:03:07.090,0:03:08.680
Another thing important thing to do

0:03:08.680,0:03:11.350
is eliminate as many[br]distractions as possible.

0:03:11.350,0:03:15.120
So make sure your phone is[br]off or set to Do Not Disturb

0:03:15.120,0:03:17.030
and make sure you're in a[br]quiet, comfortable space

0:03:17.030,0:03:19.460
where you can really focus[br]on your practice tests.

0:03:19.460,0:03:22.250
Also, if you're using a laptop,[br]make sure it's plugged in

0:03:22.250,0:03:24.900
so that you don't have to[br]worry about the battery dying.

0:03:24.900,0:03:26.900
Next, let's take a minute to get over

0:03:26.900,0:03:28.260
the structure of the test.

0:03:28.260,0:03:30.190
So you know what to expect.

0:03:30.190,0:03:33.950
The first section is reading[br]and it is 65 minutes long.

0:03:33.950,0:03:36.150
Then we'll take a 10-minute break.

0:03:36.150,0:03:38.420
The next section is writing and language

0:03:38.420,0:03:40.540
and it is 35 minutes long.

0:03:40.540,0:03:42.900
Right after that section,[br]we'll move into the math,

0:03:42.900,0:03:46.540
no calculator section,[br]which is 25 minutes long.

0:03:46.540,0:03:48.830
Then we'll take a five-minute break.

0:03:48.830,0:03:50.870
Then you'll return for the final section,

0:03:50.870,0:03:52.970
which is the math with calculator section,

0:03:52.970,0:03:54.453
which is 55 minutes long.

0:03:55.470,0:03:58.520
We won't be adding in the[br]optional essay section today,

0:03:58.520,0:04:00.480
but you can practice the[br]essay on Khan Academy

0:04:00.480,0:04:03.290
after the practice test, if you'd like to.

0:04:03.290,0:04:06.080
So we'll have a timer running[br]on the screen for each section

0:04:06.080,0:04:07.440
that you can refer to.

0:04:07.440,0:04:09.530
And just like when you take the real SAT,

0:04:09.530,0:04:11.650
you'll hear me announce when[br]we reached the halfway point

0:04:11.650,0:04:14.630
of each section, and when you[br]have five minutes remaining.

0:04:14.630,0:04:16.860
I know it's a big commitment[br]to take a three-hour test

0:04:16.860,0:04:19.270
on a Saturday, but going[br]through the full test

0:04:19.270,0:04:21.450
in one sitting is really[br]a great way to prepare

0:04:21.450,0:04:22.910
for the test experience.

0:04:22.910,0:04:25.090
So I applaud all of you[br]for being here today

0:04:25.090,0:04:26.460
and taking the time.

0:04:26.460,0:04:28.810
So as you're getting[br]ready to start the test,

0:04:28.810,0:04:30.360
stop (indistinct) a minute and think about

0:04:30.360,0:04:33.290
what your goal is on[br]the practice test today.

0:04:33.290,0:04:36.220
Maybe you wanna improve your[br]pacing in a certain section,

0:04:36.220,0:04:38.320
or maybe there's a certain benchmark score

0:04:38.320,0:04:39.680
you're hoping to improve,

0:04:39.680,0:04:41.080
or maybe you just wanna get a sense

0:04:41.080,0:04:42.730
of what the full test is like.

0:04:42.730,0:04:45.020
Whatever your goal is[br]just take a quick minute

0:04:45.020,0:04:46.920
and write it down on your scratch paper

0:04:46.920,0:04:49.290
and we'll revisit it at the end.

0:04:49.290,0:04:51.210
All right, so we're ready.

0:04:51.210,0:04:53.330
So let's everyone take a deep breath,

0:04:53.330,0:04:55.410
relax and let's get started.

So grab a snack, use the restroom,

1:10:13.030,1:10:14.420
get up and stretch for a bit.

1:10:14.420,1:10:16.120
And we'll see you back here in 10.

We'll see you back here in five minutes.

You just completed a[br]full-length practice test.

3:21:43.350,3:21:45.530
Now I know you're[br]probably tired right now.

3:21:45.530,3:21:48.060
So after you've had some[br]time to rest and relax,

3:21:48.060,3:21:49.660
I highly encourage you[br]to come visit the test

3:21:49.660,3:21:50.690
that you just took

3:21:50.690,3:21:52.140
so that you can go over[br]what you've got right,

3:21:52.140,3:21:55.300
and what you missed, and you[br]can see what you need to study.

3:21:55.300,3:21:58.010
And as we wrap up this Practice Test Day

3:21:58.010,3:21:59.940
I want you to think back[br]to that goal you wrote down

3:21:59.940,3:22:01.220
when we first started.

3:22:01.220,3:22:03.010
Do you think you achieved that goal?

3:22:03.010,3:22:04.500
Why or why not?

3:22:04.500,3:22:06.890
Just take a few quick[br]moments to reflect on that

3:22:06.890,3:22:09.250
and consider how this might[br]affect your future plans

3:22:09.250,3:22:10.500
as you study for the SAT.

3:22:14.440,3:22:17.000
