Develop a practice schedule.
To set up a practice schedule, locate the calendar on the Khan SAT Prep class dashboard. Select a future SAT date.
Set up email to receive reminders. Please use an email that you check frequently. It is recommended that VBCPS students use their GSuite gmail account for the email while enrolled with VBCPS.
Schedule at least ONE practice test date on or before May 17 of this school year. It is recommended to do more than one. Students enrolled in English 10 must submit evidence of three weeks of practice and at least one practice test to your teacher by the May deadline. (Details to follow with the assignment in Schoology.)
- Schedule weekly skill practice days. In order to receive the full credit for the checkpoints, you must complete at least three 30-minute study sessions during three different weeks. In order to make this easier it is recommended that you try to practice for 30 minutes three days a week, every week. This practice could be during It's Academic, One-Lunch, before school, after school, and in some cases, during your English 10 class time. The calendar and reminder emails will help you reach that goal. Even more importantly, this consistent practice will improve your chances of success on the SAT. (Details may be found in Schoology English 10 course regarding the checkpoint assignments.)
Click Create and the practice schedule will be set up and email reminders will be sent.
