In education, and especially in SAT prep, the question isn’t if AI will play a role. It’s how to use it wisely.
When implemented with care, AI tools can help more students persist through practice, master essential skills, and show up for the SAT with confidence.
But not all AI tools are created equal. If you’re a district leader wondering how to bring AI into your SAT prep program, here’s what you need to know.
AI Is here to support, not replace
Let’s be clear: AI can’t—and shouldn’t—replace teachers, ever. But it can dramatically extend instructional capacity.
Khanmigo, our AI-powered student tutor, was built on learning science foundations. Instead of solving problems for students, it
- offers hints and scaffolding,
- guides students step by step, and
- encourages productive struggle and persistence.

Built on top of official SAT content
Unlike generic AI tools that hallucinate or offer inaccurate guidance, Khanmigo is fully integrated into Khan Academy’s official College Board–aligned SAT prep platform.
This means:
- Students practice with real SAT question types.
- AI feedback is grounded in the exact blueprints they’ll see on test day.
- Learning is structured, safer, and standards-aligned.

Designed for the classroom
AI is often designed for individual users. Khanmigo is different—it’s built for classroom and school use, with features that support
- differentiated instruction,
- independent and small-group work, and
- seamless integration into existing SAT prep schedules.
Whether students are practicing at home or in advisory, Khanmigo is there.
See how districts are implementing AI alongside teacher-led instruction.
Equity at the core
One of the most powerful aspects of AI in SAT prep? Scalability.
Not every family can afford a tutor. Not every teacher has time to provide 1:1 support to every student. Khanmigo helps bridge that gap so every learner can receive timely, targeted feedback.
Because it’s part of Khan Academy’s nonprofit mission, there are no hidden upsells or paywalls, and the focus remains squarely on learning outcomes.

Safer, transparent, and built on learning science
Khan Academy is not racing to be the flashiest AI platform. We’re racing to get results for learners.
Khan Academy’s AI is
- transparent and age-appropriate,
- free of advertising or external data harvesting, and
- developed by experts in pedagogy and assessment.
