"Now, they can use AI. Google debuted free, on-demand practice tests for the SAT through Google Gemini on Wednesday. The content of these tests is vetted by the Princeton Review - one of the publishers of those study tombs - while feedback is given by Google's AI. While the practice tests are only available for the SAT, Google teased that more exams were coming in the future."
"It's another blow to the tutoring industry, a small but lucrative space coaching young adults toward academic success. College prep is especially high-earning. One SAT tutor told Business Insider last year that he charged $135 to $155 an hour; an essay tutor said he made $200,000 while only working nine months. It's not the first time technology has eaten into the largely human tutoring industry. PDFs of practice tests have long run rampant around the internet."
Students can now access free, on‑demand full-length SAT practice exams through Google Gemini, with questions vetted by the Princeton Review and AI-driven feedback provided by Gemini. Gemini can explain correct answers and help identify specific knowledge gaps so students can act on them. Google currently offers only SAT tests and has signaled plans to expand to other exams. The release adds to existing AI education tools such as ChatGPT's Study Mode and Claude for Education. The move intensifies pressure on the private tutoring market, where tutors charge high hourly rates, while PDFs, Quizlet, and Chegg have already reduced reliance on human tutors. Education professionals are weighing responses.
