This document provides information about PSAT 8/9 results and resources for using Khan Academy for test preparation. It outlines how educators can access student score reports and view benchmark data. It also demonstrates how students can link their College Board and Khan Academy accounts to access personalized practice recommendations and full-length practice tests on Khan Academy. Teachers are encouraged to have students link these accounts and explore Khan Academy tools to support instruction before the next PSAT 8/9 administration.

The min-max scores vary from
assessment to assessment to
show the difference in
complexity of knowledge on the
different tests. Theoretically, if
a student were to take the PSAT
8/9, PSAT 10, SAT on the same
day, they would score the same
on each assessment, but if you
scored “perfectly” on all three,
you would only get a 720 vs an
800 for Math in PSAT 8/9 vs SAT
– because the difficulty of
questions is that much harder
on SAT.

7. New online reporting portal:
• Easy accessibility via your College Board account login to score reports
for all SAT® Suite assessments
• Interactive features for educators (e.g., sorting, filtering)
• Counselor Registration and Score Roster access
• Ability to batch print:
o Student score reports
o Score labels
o SAT admission tickets
• Enhanced data and drill-down capabilities
• “Search” functionality and ability to configure groups of your students

Student Score
Report
(Paper/PDF
Version)
This report gives students each
of their scores, and indicates
whether they have met or
exceeded (green), are
approaching (yellow), or need
to strengthen skills in order to
meet the benchmark. It
provides information about the
student’s likelihood to succeed
in AP courses and will give
prediction information for
future SAT Suite assessments.

10. 10
Student Score Report
(Educator Version)
• Reports individual student scores
• Lists student performance on all
assessments taken over time
• Shows projection of next year’s
scores
• Identifies whether the student is
likely to succeed in AP® and links
to the AP PotentialTM tool
• Links to detailed score reporting,
including test scores, cross-test
scores, and subscores

and Khan Academy® Accounts

The Student Dashboard
Once linked, here’s the dashboard students come
to.
• Dashboard - shows previous scores as well
current skills level. The College Board data
sharing agreement with Khan Academy ensures
that no student information is stored
permanently by Khan Academy.
• Practice
• Tips and Strategies – includes information on
content, format, scoring/subscores, how to use
Khan, info and strategies for each section, time
management strategies, strategies for prep.
• Full exams – 8 practice tests available online;
there’s also a link to download the paper and
pencil version.
• Review – the “review” tab shows all the practice
that has been completed.

Practice Recommendations
Under “Practice,” the student sees that the most
important topic to work on in math is right
triangle word problems. Because of a
combination of how likely a topic is to show up
on the SAT, and prior student performance, this
is the skill that this student has the most
potential to improve on.
There are other potential options this student
can work on, because Khan Academy has
learned that if you only give the student one
option there is some chance that they reject it
and then quit. Instead, Khan Academy will give
other skills options to practice (in this case
solving quadratic equations and quadratic and
exponential word problems) so that they have
somewhere else to go.

23. Coaches Resources on Khan

29. Action Steps for PSAT 8/9 & Khan
● Most importantly, we need students to link their College Board and
Khan accounts. Currently we are only at 51%- Yikes!
○ Please decide on a date as a PLC, provide to Furgione and she will
assure labs/carts are reserved for your.
○ Linked percentages will determine completion of this assignment in
eCampus
● Explore Tools to use in your classes (All 8th Grade ELA & Math)
● Prior to Spring Break, ELA Teachers Review Student Portal Access
and Khan Practice w/ classes
