Gemini can now help students prepare for the SAT with free, full-length mock tests, giving test-takers a way to practice without paying for expensive prep courses or tutoring. Announced at the BETT 2026 education conference, the update enables students to take on-demand SAT practice exams directly within Gemini.

While other AI assistants can generate practice questions, they do not truly replicate standardized tests. What sets Google’s Gemini apart is that its mock exams are not just randomly generated questions, but structured to mirror the real SAT experience.

SAT mock tests expand Gemini’s learning tools

Google says the tests are built using material from educational partners like The Princeton Review, which means the format, difficulty, and structure are designed to closely match the real exam. For students, that matters because it avoids the common problem of practicing with questions that feel nothing like test day.

Once a student finishes a mock test, Gemini provides immediate results along with detailed feedback. It highlights strengths and weak areas, explains incorrect answers step by step, and even walks through questions you answered correctly by guessing, making sure you actually understand the logic behind them.

The goal is to help students learn the material, not just memorize patterns or chase a higher score. Google has been careful to frame this as a learning tool rather than a shortcut.

The company points to Gemini’s Guided Learning mode, NotebookLM, and other education-focused experiments as part of a broader effort to support studying instead of enabling cheating. Alongside this update, Google also announced a new partnership that will power Khan Academy’s Writing Coach with Gemini, expanding its role in classrooms and self-study.

For now, the SAT is the only test supported, but Google says more exams are planned. For students staring down college applications, Gemini’s new mock tests could make SAT prep far more accessible than it has ever been.

Gemini is already being used to turn notes into interactive study aids, help groups collaborate on ideas, build presentations from simple prompts, and support language learning through guided exercises. Together, these updates show Google positioning Gemini as an all-in-one tool for studying.

Deepfake bosses are crashing video calls, and researchers are trying to expose them
Seeing your boss on video no longer proves they are real
Researchers at Fraunhofer SIT are fighting against deepfake meeting video calls

Entering into a meeting with your boss and several familiar coworkers inside a video conference is the next area vulnerable to cybercrimes, and it's all because of deepfake technology. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology SIT are working on a real-time warning system designed to identify attempted fraud during corporate video conferences.

The report states that criminals are increasingly targeting video meetings for identity theft and financial scams, taking advantage of the trust people place in familiar faces and voices. The intention is to flag suspicious activity while the meeting is still taking place. This gives an employee a chance to stop before following an expensive instruction from an AI-generated executive.

Apple will finally stop making iPhone-to-Windows copy-paste such a chore
Your iPhone may finally copy and paste with a Windows PC like it should
Apple Universal Clipboard feature

Copying something on an iPhone and pasting it onto a Windows PC should be one of the least remarkable features imaginable. While this simple process seems effortless between an iPhone and Mac, Windows users are still left waiting.

Now, Microsoft is formally asking Apple to provide interoperable clipboard access through the company’s European Union interoperability process. The request, submitted on March 25, argues that iOS restrictions prevent third-party platforms from creating an experience comparable to Apple’s Universal Clipboard. Apple has now reached Phase III and committed to developing a solution.

Google is preparing to add extension review links directly inside Chrome, putting feedback closer to the menus people already use to manage their add-ons.

A Chromium change, first spotted by Windows Report, points to review options in the Extensions menu, the chrome://extensions management page, and extension context menus. Only eligible Chrome Web Store extensions in good standing would qualify, and the feature is still under development.
