Studying for the SAT for 20 hours on Khan Academy associated with 115-point average score increase We’re excited to announce today that studying for the SAT for 20 hours on Khan Academy’s free Official SAT Practice is associated with an average score gain of 115 points.

Shorter periods of time also correlate with meaningful score gains.
