A student built a cheaper SAT prep alternative
A 17-year-old international student struggled to find a good way to prepare for the SAT. Khan Academy helped with the basics, and offered official practice tests, but they were not enough for harder practice or progress. only worked on Mac, iPad, and Windows, which was a problem for a setup.
’s student question bank had real SAT questions in PDF form, but the format was static and did not support progress or analysis. The site also limited how many questions could be downloaded at once, and selecting each question by hand was tedious. OnePrep looked useful at first, but many were behind a paywall and the quality felt poor.
These gaps led to building a cheaper and more useful SAT prep alternative.
