Google is rolling out a new Gemini feature that generates complete SAT practice tests for free. Students can simply ask the chatbot to create an exam, which includes clickable questions, graphs, and immediate score analysis. The interface mimics tools like Gemini Canvas, offering an 'Explain answer' button and post-test review to target weak areas.

The move directly challenges the lucrative test prep industry, where students and families spend billions annually on tutors and commercial practice materials. Google partnered with firms like The Princeton Review to ensure the AI-generated content mirrors the real SAT's predictable patterns, aiming to reduce reliance on expensive, human-led tutoring services.

While starting with the SAT, Google plans to expand this coaching tool to other standardized tests in the future. This could accelerate a broader shift in how students prepare for college admissions, leveraging AI to democratize access to high-quality study resources. The long-term impact on traditional tutoring businesses remains to be seen.
