How It Works

Two steps. Your pace.

 

Step 1

Claim and take your test.

Tell us who's testing. Your student gets a login by email and takes a full-length SAT or ACT online, at home, whenever there's a quiet two-hour window.

Start here.

Step 2

Review your results with an expert.

A free 25-minute video call with our Program Advisor. Book it now or after test day. It’s where you’ll see the score and what it means.

See what’s covered.

STEP 1

Claim your free practice test.

Fill this out once. We'll send a login for our online testing platform to your student's email, and they can start whenever it suits them.

  1. The real format. Full-length, digital and timed, so the score actually tells you something.

  2. Extended time, if your student uses it. 50% extended time is available for students with ADHD, learning differences or other accommodations.

  3. One of each, on us. Every student can take one free SAT and one free ACT.

  4. Already have PSAT scores? Try the ACT here. Comparing the two is the fastest way to learn which test suits your student.

FYI, your student won’t see their score when they finish. Scores remain hidden until you attend a free score review – so proceed to Step 2 below and book your review now.

STEP 2

Book your free score review.

A score on its own is just a number. In 25 minutes, our Program Advisor walks you through what's driving it and what it would take to move it.

What happens on the call

We analyze it together. Section by section: where the points went, and why. Pacing, content gaps, strategy or nerves each call for something different.

We settle the SAT-or-ACT question. If one test suits your student better, you'll know before anyone spends a weekend prepping for the wrong one.

You’ll leave with a plan. A realistic target score, a timeline that works backward from test day, and what support makes sense. If your student doesn't need prep, we'll say so.

What Families Say

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. The practice test and the score review are both free, and there's no obligation to enroll in anything.

  • One free full-length SAT and one free full-length ACT per student. Most families start with one. If your student is deciding between the two, taking both gives you a clean side-by-side comparison.

  • Colleges accept both equally. If your student already has a PSAT score, try the ACT so you have a data point from each test. No PSAT yet? Start with either one. Your score review will cover which test is the better fit.

  • Within one business day. You’ll receive instructions on this page after submitting the form. If you run into any issues, contact us for help.

  • A little over two hours for either test, plus short breaks. Your student needs a charged laptop or tablet, a steady internet connection, a quiet room, a graphing calculator (ACT only) and scratch paper. They can start any time after the login arrives.

  • At your score review. Our Program Advisor shares the score and the full section-by-section report together, so the number comes with context. Leave a few days between booking and the review so your student has time to finish the test.

  • To see the score, yes. Book it now or after test day, whichever is easier. If test day comes and you haven’t picked a time, we’ll reach out to set one up.

  • Yes. If your student has ADHD, a learning difference or other accommodations, note it on the sign-up form and we’ll set up 50% or 100% extended time. We usually suggest practicing with the same timing your student expects on the real test.

  • The free test is self-administered at home, on your schedule. Our proctored practice tests ($40) run on set weekend dates at our Portland location with a live proctor, which feels closer to test day. Many students take the free test first and a proctored test later in their prep.

  • No. The test is online and score reviews happen via videoconference, so families anywhere can use both.

  • Nothing, unless you want it to. If test prep makes sense, our Program Advisor will recommend a plan, a tutor or class match and a timeline, with pricing. If your student is already on track, they’ll tell you that too.

Start with a real number.

Signing up takes about two minutes. Everything after that happens on your schedule.
