Google has expanded Gemini’s capabilities by offering free, full-length SAT practice exams and partnering with Khan Academy. Announced at the BETT 2026 conference, this initiative aims to make high-quality test preparation globally accessible.
Key Features for Students
- Full-Length SAT Practice: Students can access no-cost mock tests directly in Gemini. Developed with The Princeton Review, these tests mirror the actual SAT experience rather than using random questions.
- Khan Academy Integration: Gemini now includes Khan Academy content, such as its AI Writing Coach, which provides feedback on essay structure and grammar.
- Adaptive Tutoring: Gemini acts as a personal tutor, guiding students through problem-solving and adjusting difficulty based on their performance.
- Instant Feedback: After finishing a test, students receive immediate scores and detailed guidance on how to improve.
- Regional Relevance: For students in India, the content aligns with CBSE/NCERT standards, providing step-by-step clarity for local learners.
Tools for Educators
Teachers can use Gemini to generate lesson aids, practice sets, and explanations. Future updates are expected to sync these tools with Google Classroom to streamline assignments.
Accessibility and Privacy
- Cross-Platform: The tools are available on both web and mobile.
- Multilingual Support: While currently in English, Google plans to add more languages in the future.
- Data Security: Google has emphasized strict privacy safeguards for handling student data.
Future Outlook and Challenges
Google plans to expand its preparation features to include the ACT, GRE, GMAT, and other regional exams. This move positions Google as a competitor to paid platforms like Kaplan and Byju’s.
However, some challenges remain. Educational equity is limited by internet and device availability. Additionally, some educators expressed concern that AI might reduce the effectiveness of traditional learning methods.
