- Hi, I'm Sal Khan, founder of the

0:00:06.367,0:00:08.340
not-for-profit Khan Academy,

0:00:08.340,0:00:10.590
and I have some very exciting news.

0:00:10.590,0:00:12.464
The data is in from our first year

0:00:12.464,0:00:15.121
of the partnership between[br]us and the College Board

0:00:15.121,0:00:19.008
around Khan Academy being the[br]official practice for the SAT.

0:00:19.008,0:00:20.343
And what we're seeing is,

0:00:20.344,0:00:21.853
students who spent an average

0:00:21.853,0:00:24.657
of 20 hours of practice on Khan Academy

0:00:24.657,0:00:27.407
are seeing roughly 115-point gain

0:00:28.302,0:00:30.909
between the PSAT and the SAT.

0:00:30.909,0:00:32.714
And to put that into perspective,

0:00:32.714,0:00:34.492
that's roughly twice the point gain

0:00:34.493,0:00:38.749
that students typically see[br]between the PSAT and the SAT.

0:00:38.749,0:00:40.551
And what's especially heartening

0:00:40.551,0:00:44.547
is that we're seeing that gain[br]be consistent across gender,

0:00:44.547,0:00:47.821
race, and socioeconomic groups.

0:00:47.821,0:00:50.355
And so this makes us feel really good,

0:00:50.355,0:00:52.095
not just from the Khan[br]Academy point of view,

0:00:52.095,0:00:53.933
or the College Board point of view,

0:00:53.933,0:00:55.927
but just in the overall theme

0:00:55.927,0:00:58.447
of being able to help[br]level the playing field.

0:00:58.447,0:01:00.887
Students take the PSAT, they can sync

0:01:00.887,0:01:02.972
those accounts with the Khan Academy,

0:01:02.972,0:01:06.303
Khan Academy software then[br]has the information necessary

0:01:06.303,0:01:08.243
to essentially do weak point training.

0:01:08.243,0:01:10.768
Know where you need[br]practice, not just in math,

0:01:10.769,0:01:12.486
but in reading and writing as well.

0:01:12.486,0:01:14.484
And you get that practice so that

0:01:14.484,0:01:16.169
you can put your best foot forward

0:01:16.169,0:01:18.191
not just on the SAT, but to be

0:01:18.191,0:01:21.478
optimally prepared for[br]college, and for life.

0:01:21.478,0:01:25.259
So this is exciting news,[br]it's also just the beginning,

0:01:25.260,0:01:26.958
and we hope to work with all of you,

0:01:26.958,0:01:28.911
students, parents, teachers,

0:01:28.912,0:01:31.137
to further level the playing field

0:01:31.137,0:01:33.554
for college and life access.
