What this is, and whether to recommend it

Preptics gives students full-length adaptive Digital SAT practice tests and an honest estimate of where they stand — reported as a range with a stated confidence rather than as a single number. Two complete mocks are free, with no card and no trial clock.

Below are the answers to what counsellors normally ask, including the parts that count against us. If something here is missing, email us — a person reads every message.

The first chapter of a report card, “How did I do?”: the projected total as a range of about 120 points marked low confidence, drawn as a shaded band on a 400 to 1600 scale with a dashed flag at the student's target and a dashed outline where the previous mock landed, above separate ranges for Reading and Writing and for Math.
The first chapter of the report card a student gets after every mock. · A sample account, not a real student's results.
How a projected score band narrows with more mocksA horizontal score axis from 1100 to 1500. After one mock the reported range is 1230 to 1350, described as low confidence. After two it is 1245 to 1335, moderate confidence. After three or more it is 1250 to 1330, good confidence.

The band stops narrowing at ±40. What remains at that point is calibration error, and watching you sit a fourth mock does not reduce it.

The questions we get askedLink to the section: The questions we get asked

What does it cost a student?
Nothing, while Preptics is in beta: every mock, lesson and drill is free for every account, and no card is asked for. At launch the free tier becomes two complete full-length adaptive mocks with every explanation, the score band, the section and skill breakdown, and the study planner; paid access will be $9.99 for three months or $24.99 for twelve, one payment, and neither will auto-renew.
Are the practice questions real SAT questions?
No, and no third party has them — they are the College Board's copyrighted work. Every question on Preptics is original, written against the published blueprint and put through independent verification before it is published. Any platform advertising real retired questions outside official channels is describing something it should not have.
How accurate are the scores?
Accurate enough to be diagnostic, and we say where the limit is. Converting a raw score to the 400–1600 scale requires the College Board's equating data, which is not published. We calibrate our own conversion tables and then report a range rather than a single number: ±60 points after one mock, ±45 after two, ±40 after three or more. A student who wants a confident-looking single number will not get one here, and that is deliberate.
Is the practice test actually adaptive?
Yes, in the same way the real test is. Two sections, two modules each, and the second module in each section routed by performance on the first — with separate conversion tables for the easier and harder paths, because the same raw count means different things on each. A non-adaptive practice test can tell a student whether they know the content; it cannot tell them what they would score.
What happens to a student's data?
Students can export or delete everything from their account settings without contacting us. Under-18 accounts are handled differently by default: a self-declared minor is kept off the public leaderboard, and that setting cannot be switched back on from the settings page. We do not sell data and there is no advertising on the platform.
Is there anything on it a student can misuse?
There is a leaderboard, and it can become a distraction for a certain kind of student. It can be turned off in settings without losing anything else. There is no AI assistant inside a ranked sitting — a timed exam has no help available in it, by design.

Where we are not the right toolLink to the section: Where we are not the right tool

Stated plainly, because a page that only makes claims is not much use to somebody deciding whether to put their name behind it.

  • We are a measurement and practice tool, not an instruction platform. A student who needs to learn the content from the beginning should use Khan Academy's official course, which is free and built with the College Board, and come here to find out where they stand.
  • The question bank is new and growing. There are three full-length adaptive mocks, which is fewer than an established provider offers — we publish a form only once every one of its six adaptive panels is full, and a fourth is being written.
  • Our percentiles compare a student against other people practising here, not against a national sample. They are useful for orientation and are not a national ranking.
