Standardized-test prep that finds your gaps first — a diagnostic, a plain gap report, a plan built from the gaps, and drill sets that practice the weak spots. Not a boot camp. Not a score guarantee.
Test Prep is the family’s standardized-test lane: the one place built for the SAT, the ACT, AP exams, and state tests. It starts the honest way — a diagnostic sitting that shows where a student actually loses points, a gap report they and their teacher can read at a glance, a study plan assembled from those gaps, and drill sets that target them. It is priced for a school, not sold with anxiety, and it never manufactures a predicted score. This is early access: the four engines the plan runs on are real and shipped substrate; the prep product that stitches them together is being built, and this page is careful about which is which.
There is no live front door yet, and no card is charged. The honest next step is to reserve early access or book a conversation — we walk through exactly what is built and what is being finished.
Diagnostic engine builtruns on a real attempt/grade engine — objective items auto-graded by a readable function, an unanswered item skipped, the clock on the server. The prep-diagnostic surface is early access.

The honest shape of a prep plan: find the gaps, then only practice those
Most standardized-test prep sells hours before it knows what a student needs. A boot-camp course runs the same sequence for everyone in the room; a shelf of practice books asks a student to grind every section, strong or weak. Test Prep does the reverse, and it does it in four plain moves. It is worth saying up front what each move IS — and, just as plainly, what it is not.
- Move 1 · Diagnostic
A real sitting, scored exactly
A short diagnostic on the target exam. Objective items are graded by a computed answer key, an unanswered item is skipped rather than scored zero, and the clock runs on the server. It measures what a student can do today — nothing is inferred that the attempt did not show.
- Move 2 · Gap report
A plain readout, not a verdict
The result is a readable map of where points were lost, by skill and section. It is DECISION SUPPORT: it tells a student and their teacher where to look. It does not rank the student, predict a future score, or decide what they are capable of.
- Move 3 · Targeted plan
Built from the gaps, owned by the student
A study plan assembled from the gap report — the specific skills to work, in a sensible order. The student and teacher own it: they can reorder it, cut it, or ignore it. The software proposes; the people decide.
- Move 4 · Drill
Practice the weak spots to fluency
Drill sets that target the flagged skills, with answer keys computed exactly, plus spaced-repetition review that schedules what a student sees next. A later diagnostic shows whether the gaps closed. Repeat only where it is still needed.
The through-line is that the plan is subtractive: it removes the practice a student does not need, so the hours that remain are aimed. And at every move, the output is something a person acts on — never a number the software manufactured and never a decision the software made on a child’s behalf.
How it works
Diagnostic → gap report → targeted plan → drill — the same loop, tightened each cycle
Each stage is described as it is built today. The engines underneath are real; the prep surface that presents them as one prep plan is early access. Where a piece is still being wired, this page says so rather than badge it.
1. Sit the diagnostic
A student takes a short diagnostic on the exam they are preparing for. It is a real attempt on a real grading engine: eligibility is checked before the sitting starts, answer keys are stripped from what the browser receives, and time runs on the server clock, not the tab. No webcam watches them do it.
2. Read the gap report
The moment objective items are submitted they are auto-graded by a readable function; an item left blank is skipped, never counted wrong. The result is a per-skill, per-section readout of where points went — a plain map, presented for a student and teacher to interpret, not a label stamped on the student.
3. Build the targeted plan
The gap report proposes a plan: the specific skills to work, ordered sensibly, with the strong areas left alone. It is a proposal a teacher can edit or override in full. Nothing is auto-assigned to a minor without a person choosing it; the plan is theirs to change.
4. Drill, review, re-check
Drill sets target the flagged skills, generated by a deterministic engine whose keys are computed and re-verified. A spaced-repetition scheduler decides what to review next so nothing is over- or under-practiced. A follow-up diagnostic shows what closed — and the loop narrows again.
Honest caveat: the diagnostic, drill, and review engines are shipped substrate, real and tested. The self-serve prep product that presents them as one guided plan — a student clicks in, sits the diagnostic, and gets the plan — is being built. This page describes that product as design and direction where it is not yet live, and labels it early access.
What it’s built on
Test Prep does not invent an engine — it borrows three real ones, and says so
A prep tool is only as honest as the machinery under it. Rather than build a fresh, unproven engine and dress it up, Test Prep is assembled from substrate the family already ships and tests. Each is genuinely built; the prep surface around them is what is early access. Here is exactly what comes from where.
The diagnostic — an attempt/grade engine
The diagnostic sitting runs on the family’s graded-assessment engine: author, assign, attempt, grade. Objective items are auto-graded by one readable function; an unanswered item is SKIPPED, never scored zero; the eligibility gate checks a student was actually assigned before a sitting; and the clock is the server’s. That engine is built substrate. The prep-diagnostic surface that wraps it is early access.
assessment.software — where that engine lives.
The drill sets — a deterministic generator
Practice sets are generated by a seeded, deterministic engine: give it a skill, a grade band, and a count, and it draws problems with a matching answer key in which every answer is COMPUTED by exact integer arithmetic and recomputed to verify. There is no model in the arithmetic path, so a key is never guessed and never wrong. Built substrate; free content.
mathematic.software — where that generator lives.
The review — spaced repetition
Between drills, a spaced-repetition scheduler (a real SM-2 implementation) decides what a student reviews next, so weak items resurface until they stick and mastered ones stop wasting time. Auto-generation leaves a card’s definition EMPTY rather than fabricate one. Built and tested engine; the prep-review surface is early access.
flashcard.press — where that engine lives.
Because the plan is built from real engines, its claims are checkable. The diagnostic is scored the same way every time; the drill keys are proven, not trusted; the review schedule is a deterministic function of a student’s answers. Nothing here needs a model to decide a result, and nothing does.
What it refuses — on purpose
Two things Test Prep will not do, ever — and both are the point, not a missing feature
No webcam proctoring. Test Prep does not watch a student through a camera, does not run gaze or face detection, does not lock down the browser, and does not record the screen. Not as an add-on, not on a higher tier, not “optional.” Remote-proctoring surveillance of a minor is not built here and is not planned. A prep tool that has to surveil a child to trust a practice score has the relationship backwards; the diagnostic is a practice sitting a student and teacher use, not a test they need to be policed through.
No invented psychometric. Test Prep does not manufacture a validity, reliability, or norm score, does not print a predicted SAT or ACT number pulled from thin air, and does not let a model guess an answer key. Every score on this platform is backed by a real, callable, deterministic function — objective items graded by exact comparison, drill keys computed by integer arithmetic and recomputed to check. If a number cannot be computed and proven, the page will not show it. A gap report says where the points went; it does not dress that up as a prediction of who a student will become.
Both refusals point the same way: the software is decision support. It surfaces where the gaps are and proposes what to practice; a student and a qualified teacher decide what to do about it. Test Prep never says “the software decided,” because it never does.

Against the incumbents
How Test Prep is different from a paid cram course — on honesty and price, not on more pressure
The paid cram-course chains and boot-camp courses have real strengths, and it is worth conceding them up front. They own large proprietary question banks and years of released-exam content. They offer live, in-person class hours with an instructor in the room. They have brand recognition a new tool does not. If any of those is what a family most wants, they are the honest answer, and we will say so.
Where Test Prep is different is the two things that category tends to get wrong. First, honesty: cram courses are frequently sold on anxiety and on a predicted or guaranteed score — a number that is marketing, not measurement. Test Prep will not print a predicted score, because it cannot compute and prove one. Second, price: a per-course seat commonly costs many hundreds of dollars, sometimes into the thousands — those figures are reported and vary widely by course, chain, and region, and we do not quote a competitor’s price as fact. Our own planned prices are on this page: a free classroom tier and a flat school license, the whole assessment-study family, not one course. We compete on being cheaper and straighter, and we do not name a rival to do it.
| Capability | Paid cram courses / boot camps | Free nonprofit prep sites | Test Prep |
|---|---|---|---|
| Finds a student’s specific gaps first | Partial — a fixed course sequence for the whole room | Partial — broad practice, light on targeting | Yes — a diagnostic drives the plan |
| Practice keys computed exactly, never model-guessed | Not established | Varies by site | Yes — exact integer arithmetic, recomputed |
| No webcam or remote proctoring of a minor | No — proctoring is common in the category | Usually yes | Yes — refused, not offered |
| No manufactured or predicted score | No — predicted scores are a selling point | Varies | Yes — only computed, provable numbers |
| Priced for a school, free classroom tier | No — per-course, paid up front | Free, but a single site, not a shelf | Yes — free classroom tier, flat school price |
| Student data consent-gated, never sold | Unclear / account-gated | Often ad-supported or account-gated | Yes — consent-gated, no data sold |
| Output is decision support a teacher acts on | Partial — a prescribed course | Partial | Yes — the plan is the student’s to change |
Category description only. The paid cram-course chains and the free nonprofit prep sites are named nowhere on this page; they are described by what kind of product they are, not by brand.
Pricing — the plan, grounded and honest. Not a live checkout.
Free for the classroom. One plan for the whole shelf. A school price that doesn’t punish a big class.
Most prep is priced per course, paid up front, one exam at a time. We price the other way. The classroom tier is free and planned to stay free; one paid plan is the whole assessment-study family, not a single tool; and a school buys every teacher at one flat price. The figures below are the planned launch tiers — they are not a live purchase option today.

Pricing figures reflect the planned launch tiers; this is not a live checkout. No money changes hands through this site. Payments are honest-off: the billing line is reserved, not enabled for live transactions today. Reserving early access creates no payment, stores no card, and commits you to nothing.
The free classroom tier is part of the planned launch; it is not live today. When self-serve billing is ever enabled, we will say so plainly here, not flip a switch quietly.
FAQ
Common questions
Can I use Test Prep right now?
Not as a live, self-serve product yet. The engines the plan runs on — the attempt/grade engine, the deterministic drill generator, the spaced-repetition scheduler — are real and tested substrate. The prep product that stitches them into a diagnostic-to-drill plan is being built. This page is honest early access: reserve early access or book a conversation to get in while it is built.
Does it use a webcam to watch a student test?
No. There is no webcam proctoring of any kind — no camera monitoring, no gaze or face detection, no lockdown browser, no screen recording. Not built, not planned, not an add-on. The diagnostic is a practice sitting a student and teacher use, not a test a child needs to be surveilled through.
Will it predict my SAT or ACT score?
No. Test Prep does not manufacture a predicted score, a norm score, or any validity or reliability number it cannot compute and prove. A gap report says, from a real attempt, where points were lost by skill and section. That is decision support for a student and teacher — not a prediction of a future result and not a label on the student.
Are the practice answer keys generated by AI?
No. Drill sets are generated by a deterministic engine, and every answer key is COMPUTED by exact integer arithmetic and recomputed to verify. There is no model in the arithmetic path, so a key is never guessed and never wrong. No model decides a diagnostic score either — objective items are graded by exact comparison.
How is this different from a paid cram course?
On two things: honesty and price. Cram courses are often sold on anxiety and on a predicted or guaranteed score — a number that is marketing, not measurement; Test Prep will not print one. And a per-course seat commonly costs many hundreds of dollars (reported, and it varies widely by course and region); our classroom tier is free and a school buys the whole family at a flat price. We do not name a competitor to make the point.
Which exams does it cover?
It is the family’s standardized-exam lane: the SAT, the ACT, AP exams, and state tests. That external-exam framing is the one thing that distinguishes this lane from the classroom quiz and gradebook tools beside it — those measure a class; this prepares a student for a test outside the classroom.
What happens to a student’s practice data?
It is consent-gated, tied to a valid school roster entry, and never made public. No student PII is collected on a practice flow; progress views are aggregate and identity-free, never per-student surveillance. A minor’s data is not sold, not shared with advertisers, and not used to train a model.
Does the software decide what a student should do?
No. Every output — the gap report, the plan, the drill schedule — is decision support. The plan is a proposal a student and teacher can reorder, cut, or ignore; nothing is auto-assigned to a minor without a person choosing it. The software proposes; the people decide.
What does it cost, and is there a live checkout?
There is no live checkout and no card is charged today — money is honest-off. The figures on this page are the planned launch tiers, not a live price you can be billed at. The classroom tier is free and planned to stay free; a paid plan covers the whole assessment-study family for one price. Reserve early access or email [email protected] to talk it through.

What this page is and is not claiming
Test Prep — the assessment-study family’s standardized-test lane for the SAT, ACT, AP, and state tests — is in active development and is not yet a live, self-serve product. The three engines the plan runs on (the attempt/grade engine, the deterministic drill generator, the spaced-repetition scheduler) are real, shipped substrate; the prep surface that presents them as one diagnostic-to-drill plan is early access. There is no webcam proctoring and no invented psychometric: no manufactured validity, norm, or predicted score, and no model-guessed answer key — every number is computed and provable, or it is not shown. Every diagnostic, gap, plan, and score output is decision support a student and teacher act on; the software never decides a result for a child. Money is honest-off: the prices here are the planned launch tiers, there is no live checkout, and no card is charged. No competitor is named anywhere on this page, and no competitor price is stated as fact. The honest next step is to reserve early access.
