Hello all, Thanks Jennifer for pointing out Khan Academy. In MeL Teens, College Bound http://teens.mel.org/MeLCollegeBound we link to Khan Academy and CollegeBoard. For CollegeBoard, we link to the CollegeBoard page set up specifically for Michigan, Michigan and the SAT at https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/state-partnerships/michigan?excmpi.... For Khan Academy, we have 2 links. One takes you directly to the page for the current SAT https://www.khanacademy.org/test-prep/sat/full-length-SAT-1 where you can immediately begin practicing on a real, full-length SAT practice test. The second is for the NEW SAT which also includes practice tests. Eunice Eunice C. Borrelli, Michigan eLibrary Internet Librarian Library of Michigan/Michigan Dept. of Education, 702 W.

Hi Jennifer and All--Following up on Eunice's post/reply... You all now know that Michigan is switching from the ACT to the SAT in 2016 and MeL will be prepared for that by providing supplemental test prep to what the College Board will be doing with Khan Academy in the LearningExpress Library (LEx) resource. The College Preparation Center of LEx is the place to go to find actual timed practice tests, eBooks and tutorials for the SAT, ACT and others. You can also find additional resources in the Teens Gateway, College Bound section, http://teens.mel.org/MeLCollegeBound as Eunice pointed out. I have been in contact with the College Board to let them know that we have been providing college entrance test prep. here in Michigan at no cost to all for years. In fact, Hoor Bhanpuri of the College Board and I will be presenting a session on our "collaboration" at the Fall MLA Conference in Novi! Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Kind regards, Deb Deb Biggs Thomas Michigan eLibrary & Outreach Coordinator Library of Michigan --------------------------- 517-373-4466 biggsthomasd@michigan.gov http://mel.org http://facebook.com/mel.org
