SATStudy GroupsPractice on Khan Academy

Why Study Groups WorkCommunity: Your study group will unite around acommon goal—to do your best on the SAT.Accountability: You won’t let teammates down becausethey’re counting on you to show up and stay focused.Support when you need it: The group will be there to helpyou get unstuck.Stress relief: Sharing a plan with others reduces teststress.63

How to Get StartedThe right size: You want a team that’s big enough to be astrong, effective resource and small enough to answer atleast one question per person each time you meet: Lookfor five to eight members.The right mix: Put together a group of students who arestrong in different skills. Go to Inside The Test to find outwhich skills the SAT tests.The right timing: Find students who plan to take the SATthe same day you do so the timeline will work foreveryone.64

First Meeting: Get Prepared Set up a free College Board account and a free KhanAcademy account for access to personalized SATstudy. Watch the Khan Academy introductory video. Identify strengths and weaknesses. If you took the PSAT/NMSQT, share your scoreswith Khan Academy. If not, take four short diagnostic quizzes in Mathor in Reading & Writing on Khan Academy. Email the group to let them know which skills are yourstrongest and which are the ones you need the mosthelp with.65

First Meeting: Make a Schedule Make it easier for your team to show up by creating aschedule that works:Ask everyone to commit to one or two 45- to 60minute meetings a week.Choose days and times when you’ll be focused andwon’t want to do something else.Use the full-length practice tests as anchors since they’llhelp everyone measure their progress and know what tofocus on.Between tests, you’ll have time to practice on your own,watch Khan Academy videos, and come to groupmeetings with your questions.66

Second Meeting: Set GoalsYou might want to set a target score. Here’s one way todo that: Go to College Search and look up a college you’dlike to apply to. Click the Applying tab to find its testscore ranges—what most students scored who wereadmitted and enrolled in the freshman class.Here are some tips to help you meet your goals: List possible obstacles, like work, sports, and hangingout with friends. Brainstorm ways of working around them. Break big goals into mini-goals. Choose rewards for reaching mini-goals. Keep each other motivated: Post achievementmilestones and ask for and share practice strategiesthat have helped other groups.67
