The irony is that universal access to the best prep materials makes the SAT harder.

The parent refers to the fact raw SAT scores are normalized, thus largely dependent on the relative strength of your cohort's performance[1].

Awesome to see KA add SAT prep to their training material. When my buddy and I were prepping for our GRE tests, we used KA in conjunction with http://meli-lewis.github.io/GRE_Khan.html to prepare.

Any friends that a worried about their math sections as they start to prep, I give them that same link and so far I'm battling a thousand on people who've gotten accepted

This link should point to: khanacademy.org/sat That's the new system.

That's its home page, but I suppose the submitter chose the other URL because it gets you into the details straightaway, which an HN audience tends to appreciate. Both links are good.

Not exactly. It's linking to the old SAT practice material that's for the old (current) SAT exam. The new material, for the upcoming 2016 exam, which was just launched today, is available at:

https://www.khanacademy.org/sat

If you want to "get into the details" you'll need to be logged in and complete the onboarding, through this URL:

https://www.khanacademy.org/mission/sat

I mean, linking to the current URL is fine, but it's not what was actually released nor is it representative of the new content.
