00:00:04,836 --> 00:00:06,367
- Hi, I'm Sal Khan, founder of the

2
00:00:06,367 --> 00:00:08,340
not-for-profit Khan Academy,

3
00:00:08,340 --> 00:00:10,590
and I have some very exciting news.

4
00:00:10,590 --> 00:00:12,464
The data is in from our first year

5
00:00:12,464 --> 00:00:15,121
of the partnership between
us and the College Board

6
00:00:15,121 --> 00:00:19,008
around Khan Academy being the
official practice for the SAT.

7
00:00:19,008 --> 00:00:20,343
And what we're seeing is,

8
00:00:20,344 --> 00:00:21,853
students who spent an average

9
00:00:21,853 --> 00:00:24,657
of 20 hours of practice on Khan Academy

10
00:00:24,657 --> 00:00:27,407
are seeing roughly 115-point gain

11
00:00:28,302 --> 00:00:30,909
between the PSAT and the SAT.

12
00:00:30,909 --> 00:00:32,714
And to put that into perspective,

13
00:00:32,714 --> 00:00:34,492
that's roughly twice the point gain

14
00:00:34,493 --> 00:00:38,749
that students typically see
between the PSAT and the SAT.

15
00:00:38,749 --> 00:00:40,551
And what's especially heartening

16
00:00:40,551 --> 00:00:44,547
is that we're seeing that gain
be consistent across gender,

17
00:00:44,547 --> 00:00:47,821
race, and socioeconomic groups.

18
00:00:47,821 --> 00:00:50,355
And so this makes us feel really good,

19
00:00:50,355 --> 00:00:52,095
not just from the Khan
Academy point of view,

20
00:00:52,095 --> 00:00:53,933
or the College Board point of view,

21
00:00:53,933 --> 00:00:55,927
but just in the overall theme

22
00:00:55,927 --> 00:00:58,447
of being able to help
level the playing field.

23
00:00:58,447 --> 00:01:00,887
Students take the PSAT, they can sync

24
00:01:00,887 --> 00:01:02,972
those accounts with the Khan Academy,

25
00:01:02,972 --> 00:01:06,303
Khan Academy software then
has the information necessary

26
00:01:06,303 --> 00:01:08,243
to essentially do weak point training.

27
00:01:08,243 --> 00:01:10,768
Know where you need
practice, not just in math,

28
00:01:10,769 --> 00:01:12,486
but in reading and writing as well.

29
00:01:12,486 --> 00:01:14,484
And you get that practice so that

30
00:01:14,484 --> 00:01:16,169
you can put your best foot forward

31
00:01:16,169 --> 00:01:18,191
not just on the SAT, but to be

32
00:01:18,191 --> 00:01:21,478
optimally prepared for
college, and for life.

33
00:01:21,478 --> 00:01:25,259
So this is exciting news,
it's also just the beginning,

34
00:01:25,260 --> 00:01:26,958
and we hope to work with all of you,

35
00:01:26,958 --> 00:01:28,911
students, parents, teachers,

36
00:01:28,912 --> 00:01:31,137
to further level the playing field

37
00:01:31,137 --> 00:01:33,554
for college and life access.
