Every student is different, and every student’s test prep needs are different too. Test Innovators’ online platform provides every student with a Personalized Prep Plan, targeted to an individual’s specific needs. The Prep Plan provides guidance on next steps and auto-generates specific recommendations for practice to complete.
As you complete practice tests, your Prep Plan will adapt to give you targeted recommendations based on the results of those tests. For instance, if you do poorly on the inference questions of the Reading Comprehension section, the Prep Plan will recommend practice exercises to help you improve in that area.
The Personalized Prep Plan ensures focused and effective practice to help you achieve test success.
Our SSAT Prep Guide is now available in both online and print format. Use the Prep Guide along with our web-based practice platform, and you'll be well on your way to test success!
