1 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:07,033 - Hi, everyone. 2 00:00:07,033 --> 00:00:08,720 Sal Khan here from Khan Academy. 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:09,960 I just wanted to welcome you 4 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,940 to National SAT Practice Test Day. 5 00:00:13,940 --> 00:00:16,160 Now, a lot of you probably are putting 6 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,690 a lot of weight into the Sat. 7 00:00:17,690 --> 00:00:21,560 It is an input into the college admissions process, 8 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,270 but the one thing I wanna emphasize is more important 9 00:00:24,270 --> 00:00:28,400 than the SAT or your score is your ability 10 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,840 to practice, your ability to develop yourself 11 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,200 and how college ready you can be. 12 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,050 And one thing that I've seen in my life over and over again, 13 00:00:36,050 --> 00:00:38,050 and I've seen in many other people's lives 14 00:00:38,050 --> 00:00:40,610 is the more that you focus on the process 15 00:00:40,610 --> 00:00:42,230 versus the outcome. 16 00:00:42,230 --> 00:00:44,380 One, the more enjoyable it will be, 17 00:00:44,380 --> 00:00:46,800 but also you'll probably get a better outcome. 18 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,400 So as you go into National SAT Practice Test Day, 19 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,440 and eventually as you go into the real SAT, 20 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,560 or really if you go into anything in your life 21 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,580 that might feel important, focus on the process 22 00:00:58,580 --> 00:01:01,400 and when you do so you'll get into kind of a Zen Mode 23 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,120 and it's really starts to get a little bit fun. 24 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,460 So take that mindset into the SAT, 25 00:01:06,460 --> 00:01:09,250 put your best effort, get into the flow, 26 00:01:09,250 --> 00:01:14,250 get into that zone if you will, and do the best you can, 27 00:01:14,420 --> 00:01:17,260 but don't get fixated on what the outcome is. 28 00:01:17,260 --> 00:01:20,320 So with that said, let's get started. 29 00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:21,340 - Thanks Sal. 30 00:01:21,340 --> 00:01:22,173 Hi,

00:02:00,268 in just a couple of minutes. 47 00:02:00,268 --> 00:02:01,780 I'm already signed in. 48 00:02:01,780 --> 00:02:04,100 So I'm going to click, let's go. 49 00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:05,530 And once you're logged in, 50 00:02:05,530 --> 00:02:09,300 you can go ahead and click on Full Tests at the top here. 51 00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:10,260 Today we're recommending 52 00:02:10,260 --> 00:02:12,730 that you take practice test number 10, 53 00:02:12,730 --> 00:02:14,180 which is the first test you'll see 54 00:02:14,180 --> 00:02:15,920 after you click on Full Tests. 55 00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:18,360 Practice tests number 10 is a newest practice test 56 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:19,330 on our site. 57 00:02:19,330 --> 00:02:21,430 And like most of our practice tests, 58 00:02:21,430 --> 00:02:24,630 it was previously given as a real SAT exam. 59 00:02:24,630 --> 00:02:26,770 So it'll give you a great idea of what to expect 60 00:02:26,770 --> 00:02:28,850 when you take the SAT in a few weeks. 61 00:02:28,850 --> 00:02:31,330 If you've already taken practice tests number 10, 62 00:02:31,330 --> 00:02:33,280 you can choose one of these other practice tests 63 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,700 to take that you haven't taken before. 64 00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:37,500 Before we start the practice tests, 65 00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:38,560 I want you to take a minute 66 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,460 and make sure you have everything you need. 67 00:02:40,460 --> 00:02:43,050 So you should have a pen or a pencil nearby 68 00:02:43,050 --> 00:02:44,690 along with some scratch paper, 69 00:02:44,690 --> 00:02:45,523 so you can make notes 70 00:02:45,523 --> 00:02:47,330 as you work through your math problems. 71 00:02:47,330 --> 00:02:49,450 You also wanna have an approved calculator 72 00:02:49,450 --> 00:02:51,090 for the final math sections, 73 00:02:51,090 --> 00:02:53,820 and you can go to collegeboard.com to learn about 74 00:02:53,820 --> 00:02:56,740 what calculators are approved for the test. 75 00:02:56,740 --> 00:02:58,500 Generally, most graphing calculators, 76 00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:00,220 all scientific calculators 77 00:03:00,220 --> 00:03:02,610 and all four-function calculators are approved. 78 00:03:02,610 --> 00:03:04,550 So whatever calculator you have today, 79 00:03:04,550 --> 00:03:07,090 that will be just fine for the practice test. 80 00:03:07,090 --> 00:03:08,680 Another thing important thing to do 81 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,350 is eliminate as many distractions as possible. 82 00:03:11,350 --> 00:03:15,120 So make sure your phone is off or set to Do Not Disturb 83 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,030 and make sure you're in a quiet, comfortable space 84 00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:19,460 where you can really focus on your practice tests. 85 00:03:19,460 --> 00:03:22,250 Also, if you're using a laptop, make sure it's plugged in 86 00:03:22,250 --> 00:03:24,900 so that you don't have to worry about the battery dying. 87 00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:26,900 Next, let's take a minute to get over 88 00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:28,260 the structure of the test. 89 00:03:28,260 --> 00:03:30,190 So you know what to expect. 90 00:03:30,190 --> 00:03:33,950 The first section is reading and it is 65 minutes long. 91 00:03:33,950 --> 00:03:36,150 Then we'll take a 10-minute break. 92 00:03:36,150 --> 00:03:38,420 The next section is writing and language 93 00:03:38,420 --> 00:03:40,540 and it is 35 minutes long. 94 00:03:40,540 --> 00:03:42,900 Right after that section, we'll move into the math, 95 00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:46,540 no calculator section, which is 25 minutes long. 96 00:03:46,540 --> 00:03:48,830 Then we'll take a five-minute break. 97 00:03:48,830 --> 00:03:50,870 Then you'll return for the final section, 98 00:03:50,870 --> 00:03:52,970 which is the math with calculator section, 99 00:03:52,970 --> 00:03:54,453 which is 55 minutes long. 100 00:03:55,470 --> 00:03:58,520 We won't be adding in the optional essay section today, 101 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,480 but you can practice the essay on Khan Academy 102 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,290 after the practice test, if you'd like to. 103 00:04:03,290 --> 00:04:06,080 So we'll have a timer running on the screen for each section 104 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,440 that you can refer to. 105 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,530 And just like when you take the real SAT, 106 00:04:09,530 --> 00:04:11,650 you'll hear me announce when we reached the halfway point 107 00:04:11,650 --> 00:04:14,630 of each section, and when you have five minutes remaining. 108 00:04:14,630 --> 00:04:16,860 I know it's a big commitment to take a three-hour test 109 00:04:16,860 --> 00:04:19,270 on a Saturday, but going through the full test 110 00:04:19,270 --> 00:04:21,450 in one sitting is really a great way to prepare 111 00:04:21,450 --> 00:04:22,910 for the test experience. 112 00:04:22,910 --> 00:04:25,090 So I applaud all of you for being here today 113 00:04:25,090 --> 00:04:26,460 and taking the time. 114 00:04:26,460 --> 00:04:28,810 So as you're getting ready to start the test, 115 00:04:28,810 --> 00:04:30,360 stop (indistinct) a minute and think about 116 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,290 what your goal is on the practice test today. 117 00:04:33,290 --> 00:04:36,220 Maybe you wanna improve your pacing in a certain section, 118 00:04:36,220 --> 00:04:38,320 or maybe there's a certain benchmark score 119 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,680 you're hoping to improve, 120 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,080 or maybe you just wanna get a sense 121 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,730 of what the full test is like. 122 00:04:42,730 --> 00:04:45,020 Whatever your goal is just take a quick minute 123 00:04:45,020 --> 00:04:46,920 and write it down on your scratch paper 124 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,290 and we'll revisit it at the end. 125 00:04:49,290 --> 00:04:51,210 All right, so we're ready. 126 00:04:51,210 --> 00:04:53,330 So let's
