Online SAT Course Features

Knewton is a combination of live, interactive classroom instruction and engaging independent work. Learn new concepts and strategies, practice SAT problems, take 5 practice SATs and try hundreds of other practice problems. Knewton keeps track of which concepts you master and which you don't, then recommends specifically what you should focus on to boost your score. Here are just some of your SAT course features (including features for parents):

Live and on-demand online classes

Knewton SAT classes run live in our online video classrooms. With our team-teaching model, you can ask questions and get instant responses from a group of SAT experts in real time. Answer questions in class using our polls and see results from your classmates. Additionally, all Knewton SAT classes are available on demand around the clock, so there's no problem catching up if you've missed a class, or getting ahead if you'd like. Fast-forward, rewind, pause, or jump to any point in the lesson. See what a live class looks like in action.

Academic Support

Our team of teachers is always available to answer questions that you have as you work through your homework. Just send us an email, and we'll write back with detailed explanations and diagrams to help it all sink in. You can also attend office hours each week, where our teachers address your specific questions. Office hours take place in the live, interactive classroom, but they're also available on demand in case you can't make a session.

Practice homework problems

Quizzes on specific concepts are available before and after a particular class to help gauge your knowledge and weaknesses. Practice problems allow you to apply your new skills to SAT-style questions. All practice problems come with detailed explanations that teach you strategies to find the correct answer quickly and accurately while looking out for common wrong answer types.

My Work

You'll manage most of your Knewton SAT prep through the "My Work" page. It is the main workspace where you will get real-time feedback on how you are tracking on specific aspects of the SAT. Review all your missed questions from practice tests and homework—then home in on the concepts that need more work.

Core Content

All of our SAT course content is categorized in many ways at the most granular of levels. That helps Knewton detect which specific concepts, strategies, or pitfalls you struggle with most. Our core content helps teach you the concepts you need the most work with. Read text definitions and explanations, or watch videos of our teachers while they explain these concepts in helpful ways.
