- Hi, I'm Rachel with Khan Academy.

0:00:03.270,0:00:06.450
Are you ready to make a plan[br]for boosting those SAT scores

0:00:06.450,0:00:08.370
but stuck about what to do next?

0:00:08.370,0:00:10.440
Let's walk through two strategies

0:00:10.440,0:00:13.020
that can help you make[br]the most of your prep time

0:00:13.020,0:00:15.540
and focus on your strengths.

0:00:15.540,0:00:18.930
Strategy one is all about[br]using the SAT prep courses

0:00:18.930,0:00:20.940
in Khan Academy.

0:00:20.940,0:00:23.820
So how do you obtain your scores?

0:00:23.820,0:00:24.990
You can get your scores

0:00:24.990,0:00:27.270
and performance spans from a PDF copy

0:00:27.270,0:00:29.130
from your school counselor,

0:00:29.130,0:00:31.809
the Big Future School mobile app

0:00:31.809,0:00:32.820
if you provided your mobile number

0:00:32.820,0:00:35.523
or your self-created College[br]Board student account.

0:00:36.900,0:00:38.820
If you took a practice test in Blue Book,

0:00:38.820,0:00:41.120
you can get your scores[br]from the College Board

0:00:42.425,0:00:43.373
My Practice Webpage too.

0:00:45.617,0:00:47.460
How do you understand your scores?

0:00:47.460,0:00:49.200
The report will look a little different

0:00:49.200,0:00:51.510
depending on if you are looking at the PDF

0:00:51.510,0:00:53.430
or an online report.

0:00:53.430,0:00:57.363
There are four content domains[br]for each section of the test.

0:00:58.524,0:01:00.660
For example, algebra is one content domain

0:01:00.660,0:01:02.940
assessed in the math section.

0:01:02.940,0:01:04.240
The number of questions

0:01:05.333,0:01:06.750
and percentage of each[br]domain will be different

0:01:06.750,0:01:07.980
depending on if you took

0:01:07.980,0:01:12.123
one of the PSAT related[br]assessments or the SAT.

0:01:15.030,0:01:18.030
You'll notice that the scores[br]reflect the same structure

0:01:18.030,0:01:21.663
as the digital SAT prep[br]courses in Khan Academy.

0:01:22.830,0:01:24.550
Check your performance bands

0:01:25.411,0:01:27.843
to know where to place your focus.

0:01:27.843,0:01:30.346
If you have one to three bands shaded,

0:01:30.346,0:01:32.301
start with foundation units.

0:01:32.301,0:01:34.500
For four to five bands,[br]tackle the medium units,

0:01:34.500,0:01:37.546
and if you're at six to[br]seven bands, you're ready

0:01:37.546,0:01:38.596
for advanced content.

0:01:40.211,0:01:41.787
With your bands identified,

0:01:41.787,0:01:44.264
dive into SAT prep course materials.

0:01:44.264,0:01:47.400
Use videos, articles, exercises[br]and quizzes to level up

0:01:47.400,0:01:48.993
and aim for proficiency.

0:01:50.032,0:01:53.716
Try unit tests and course[br]challenges to shoot for mastery.

0:01:53.716,0:01:57.300
Strategy two is the[br]skills insight approach.

0:01:57.300,0:01:59.310
Once you have your college board scores

0:01:59.310,0:02:03.561
from an online report, use[br]the Skills Insight tool

0:02:03.561,0:02:06.540
to zero in on specific skills[br]within your performance band

0:02:06.540,0:02:07.860
or challenge yourself

0:02:07.860,0:02:10.383
with questions from a[br]higher performance band.

0:02:12.634,0:02:13.467
To access your scores,

0:02:13.467,0:02:15.720
log into your college[br]board student account,

0:02:15.720,0:02:19.077
or use the Big Future School mobile app

0:02:19.077,0:02:21.603
if you registered with your mobile number.

0:02:21.603,0:02:22.530
The report will look a little different

0:02:22.530,0:02:24.690
depending on if you're[br]in the Big Future app

0:02:24.690,0:02:26.373
or your college board account.

0:02:28.643,0:02:32.043
There are four content domains[br]for each section of the test.

0:02:33.220,0:02:35.220
The filled in part of each progress bar

0:02:35.220,0:02:37.347
represents your level of mastery

0:02:37.347,0:02:40.233
in that content domain and[br]is called a performance band.

0:02:41.622,0:02:43.721
The more performance[br]bands that are filled in,

0:02:43.721,0:02:44.663
the better you did.

0:02:45.601,0:02:47.910
The online reports provide[br]a performance band score,

0:02:47.910,0:02:51.243
which aligns to college[br]board skills insight tool.

0:02:52.380,0:02:54.900
Click view skills and example questions

0:02:54.900,0:02:57.480
in Next Score Band on your report

0:02:57.480,0:03:00.033
to access the Skills tool.

0:03:01.962,0:03:04.110
In Skills Insight, select your domain

0:03:04.110,0:03:05.973
and performance band score.

0:03:07.159,0:03:08.770
Then click go to see the skills

0:03:09.724,0:03:10.890
and knowledge you[br]typically can demonstrate

0:03:10.890,0:03:13.200
based on that score band.

0:03:13.200,0:03:14.550
Skills and questions

0:03:14.550,0:03:16.110
in the next higher score band

0:03:16.110,0:03:18.003
are the skills you should work on.

0:03:19.668,0:03:21.065
Remember these two strategies,

0:03:21.065,0:03:23.550
focused courses and[br]targeted skills practice

0:03:23.550,0:03:25.890
work together to build your strengths

0:03:25.890,0:03:27.690
and boost your score.

0:03:27.690,0:03:30.933
Let's dive in and make each[br]practice session count.
