Martin Cook Central High School In January, the College Board launched the 2018 SAT Practice Kickoff Week Challenge: a global challenge to schools and districts to help students unlock their free, personalized SAT study plans based on PSAT/NMSQT test results. Over five million students have practiced on Official SAT Practice since its launch. Research shows that studying on Official SAT Practice for 20 hours is associated with an average score gain of 115 points from the PSAT/NMSQT to the SAT. Central School District 3 is one of only eight SAT Practice Kickoff Week Challenge winners world-wide, recognized for having the overall highest percentage of 2017 PSAT/NMSQT takers who linked College Board and Khan Academy accounts between October and January in its category.
