PrepScholar comes with the option (at a higher cost, of course) of enlisting the aid of an experienced one-on-one tutor who either got a perfect or a 99 th-percentile score on the test themselves.

Khan Academy has an app for both Apple and Android PrepScholar does not.

PrepScholar offers a money-back guarantee for a 160+ point increase on the SAT.

Khan Academy is free PrepScholar’s cost ranges from $400-$600 depending on the course type.

Here are a few of the key differences between PrepScholar and Khan Academy: Among the many tests they prepare students for is the SAT/ACT. PrepScholar is one of the most recognizable names in the test prep industry. There aren’t any frills or elaborate graphics that you might expect to find on other prep sites like Princeton Review or PrepScholar. The Khan Academy SAT prep platform is notably minimalist and the interface is intuitive. With so many participants, it must be doing something right. Its user base now approaches 100 million, with a large proportion of those using Khan Academy’s free services to prep for the SAT.

In my view, those are still its standout features. Khan Academy gained notoriety in the prep game primarily for its trademark, bread-and-butter short video lessons, which many users found to be effective learning tools.

On its own, the “all-content, no-strategy” approach is simply a losing formula. Most importantly, as we enumerated in the “cons” section above, strategy is non-existent in the Khan Academy prep course. But that affirmative answer comes with important caveats. In a short word, yes – Khan Academy is useful for SAT prep, and I would recommend including it in your arsenal without hesitation.
