Four years of Tuesdays beat one panicked March.
Every square below is one Tuesday between eighth grade and your SAT. Twenty-two minutes each. That’s the whole method.
Four engines. One loop.
Your misses become flashcards. Your flashcards feed practice. Practice feeds the projection. The diagnostic keeps everyone honest.
Aimed where you’re weakest — and it grades how you practise.
Adaptive sets target the 65–82% accuracy band, where learning is fastest. Land in the band and your XP multiplies. Rushing and guessing earn exactly nothing.
Recall first. Then the answer.
Every word you miss in a reading set becomes a card. Real spaced repetition — the interval moves with how well you actually knew it, not with how many you got through.
A full adaptive Digital SAT. Honestly framed.
Two modules per section, and module one sets module two — exactly like test day. No XP in here, no streak, no mascot. Just the number.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
A projection that’s allowed to go down.
Wrapped in a confidence band that tightens as evidence accumulates. Have a weak fortnight and the number drops, because that is what actually happened.
Your misses come back — wearing new clothes.
Whatever you got wrong three to fourteen days ago returns as a variant: same idea, new numbers, new wording. You can’t memorise an answer instead of a concept.
One skill. And when you miss, Pal asks first.
Try it — get it wrong on purpose. Pal opens on the question itself, not in a chat sidebar off to the side, and asks before it tells.
The fun is load-bearing — every mechanic pays for learning.
Gamification usually optimises for your attention. Ours is only allowed to optimise for accuracy in the band. Anything that can’t survive being explained doesn’t ship.
Streaks — earned, never bought.
A ninety-second check-in keeps it, so a busy Saturday doesn’t erase 217 good days.
XP — for quality, not volume.
Landing in the 65–82% band multiplies your XP. Reading the explanation after a miss earns more than answering fast ever will.
Study Hall — rivals, not chatrooms.
Weekly leagues with friends. They can nudge your streak; they cannot send you a sentence.
Four scoreboards. Four real dates. None invented by us.
A single 400–1600 bar runs across four years, so we don’t show one score. The College Board already maintains a vertical scale from eighth grade to twelfth, and every rung ends in an exam a real proctor administers. No product in this category is built on this one. This one is.
Foundations
Get fluent in what high school already assumes you know.
Range
Stretch across every domain while the stakes are still low.
Contention
National Merit is decided one October morning. Be built for it.
The number
The real thing — arrived at, not cornered.
Everyone else built a fire extinguisher.
SAT prep is sold eight weeks before test day, to a panicking junior, at about $99 a month. It works roughly as well as any eight-week plan works. We made the opposite bet.
Cram junior spring.
Eight weeks, three-hour Saturdays, one burned-out March. Then it’s over — whatever stuck, stuck.
Twenty-two minutes. Daily. For years.
A habit that starts in eighth grade and compounds quietly — measured on real PSATs the whole way, so the real one never surprises you.
Free. The whole thing, not a sample.
Not a trial, and not a free tier with the useful half behind a wall. Every question, every deck, the whole four-year ladder — open from the first night, with no card and no countdown running somewhere you can’t see it.
For parents
What it costs, what we collect, and what we do with it. Plus the monthly email that tells you how many nights they actually showed up — and refuses to predict a score.
For counsellors & schools
COPPA-safe, no student payment path, nothing purchasable inside the product — so no equity gap opens between the families who can pay and the ones who can’t. A one-pager for families and a slide for parent night.
The best time to start was eighth grade.
The second best is tonight.
Twenty-two minutes. A check-in counts as a day, so nothing you start is wasted.
