TO UTILIZE KHAN ACADEMY AS A STUDY/PRACTICE GUIDE:

-First, Access KHAN ACADEMY 

-Look to the top left,--Find COURSES, 

-Drop down the menu --Find Test Prep

-Go to SAT Reading and Writing: (the second one down in the drop down menu) this will give you access to all the practice sections: Foundations (easy) Medium (medium) and Advanced (hard) questions. 

*You can use the MATH portion too, if you want to practice Math.

For each question type (see all 17 below) you’ll get:

• An introduction to the question type, 

• A few practice questions,

• A video or two: These are actually pretty good, and will provide a decent substitute for my in class instruction.)

• Four practice questions reflecting whatever level you’re on: easy, medium, hard. 

NOTE: the introduction pages and videos ARE THE SAME for each level so you can skip them once you’ve viewed/looked over them once. Also, the questions will change so you can review each level (easy, medium, hard) several times before any questions might repeat.)

 There are 17 types of  ELA questions you’ll see on the new SAT Command of Evidence: Textual
