Google launches free SAT practice exams in Gemini with Princeton Review
Google has launched free, on-demand SAT practice exams accessible via its AI assistant, Gemini, following an announcement Wednesday. The initiative expands Google’s investment in educational tools, partnering with The Princeton Review to provide “rigorously vetted content” that aligns with the actual test format.
Beginning this week, students can access full-length practice tests directly within the Gemini chatbot. Users initiate a test by prompting Gemini, “I want to take a practice SAT test.” Upon completion, Gemini provides specific performance feedback, highlighting areas of strength and areas requiring further study. The chatbot also explains test answers, allowing users to address knowledge gaps and develop customized study plans.
Google plans to introduce additional synchronized tests in the future.
Concurrently, Google has integrated Gemini into Khan Academy’s Writing Coach, an AI-powered learning platform available for students in grades 7-12, with a beta program for grades 5-6 in the US. Khan Academy’s Writing Coach offers an interactive experience, guiding students through a four-step writing process: understanding, outlining, drafting, and revising. The tool provides feedback or a more interactive experience, depending on teacher selection, and adapts its guidance with clear examples.
Google noted the tool “meets students where they are” by adapting feedback and providing examples. Khan Academy will also launch a Gemini-powered Reading Coach later this year for students in grades 5-12, offering customized reading comprehension and providing teachers with insights into student and class performance.
Furthermore, Google is expanding Gemini access within Google Workspace for Education core editions, including Gmail, Docs, Slides, Forms, Vids, and Sheets, at no additional cost for educators. These integrations enable educators to receive writing assistance, create content and presentations, generate forms with AI summaries, and analyze data. Users over 18 will access these updates in the coming weeks, with Gemini in Gmail and Sheets rolling out over several months.
