• Khan Academy is the official partner of College Board for SAT exam prep after it became digitalised.
• On the other hand, College Board just has practice papers in PDF formats that can be downloaded for practice.

• Also, only when applicants register for SAT, can they access Bluebook App where they can take mocks in the exact same format as they will on the exam day.
