Owl Test Prep vs Khan Academy
Both are free to start. Here is how they differ, checked October 29, 2026.
| Khan Academy | Owl Test Prep | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free. The College Board calls it "our free, interactive course". (source) | Practicing is free: every question with a full explanation, every lesson, and the first two full CLT and SAT practice tests. College Test Prep ($79 a year, paid once, or $39 for 30 days) adds every full CLT, SAT and PSAT practice test, the National Merit plan, the study plan to test day, more Ask Owl-y help and a progress email to a parent every Sunday. |
| Official? | The College Board calls it "The Official SAT Prep". (source) | No. Owl Test Prep is independent, and every question is original. |
| What is in it | Per the College Board: "thousands of practice questions, videos, lessons, and hints". (source) | Practice questions in every SAT skill with full explanations, a lesson for each skill, module drills, six full practice tests (the first two free, the rest with College Test Prep) and Ask Owl-y, AI help on any question (3 a day free). |
| Feel | A self-paced course: lessons, videos and practice questions. | Game-like: streaks, XP, a path through painted lands, daily puzzles. |
- Khan Academy is a strong free choice, especially with its videos, and it comes from the College Board.
- Owl Test Prep suits students who want short game-like daily practice, the CLT as well as the SAT, or a parent view.
- They work well together, alongside the official practice tests in Bluebook.
