General Information
How does ePrep for the SAT work?
Students prepare best when they are exposed to real SAT test questions under simulated conditions and then immediately receive expert instruction upon grading their test. We call this the ePrep Learning Cycle and seen it succeed in helping students maximizing their SAT score time and time again. When you enroll in ePrep for the SAT, we will ship you complete, sealed SAT test booklets – complete with No. 2 pencils – that you take offline throughout the course. Upon completing a test, you then login to ePrep to grade your answers and watch full broadband videos that include detailed answers for each problem. Watching ePrep’s expert solve the same problem you just missed - and providing key insights and strategies along the way – exponentially increases your absorption of the concepts. By repeating the ePrep Learning Cycle, you expand your comfort level with the SAT test and rapidly improve your SAT problem solving skills
Additionally, ePrep Analytics provide adaptive diagnostics that continually monitors your progress, points out strengths and weaknesses, and recommends subject lesson videos you can review online. Our unique WordSmith™ features over 1,000 common SAT vocabulary words and helps build your vocabulary through reviews and tests.
When you’re ready to take your SAT test, there will be nothing we haven’t covered together. You will be absolutely prepared.
What is the ePrep Learning Cycle?
It’s so simple, yet so effective: (1) Practice, (2) Grade, (3) Review and (4) Repeat
Practice: Complete each ePrep practice tests offline under simulated conditions.
Grade: After taking a practice test, log onto your ePrep account and bubble in and submit your answers.
Review: Review all the questions you skipped, guessed on and those you got right, but with difficulty.
Repeat: Repeat the practice-grade-review cycle as often during the months prior to your SAT Test day.
Should I enroll in the ePrep for the SAT™ Premium or Standard Editions? What’s the Difference?
Both editions provide a comprehensive SAT study program. Your choice of either ePrep for the SAT™ Standard or Premium will depend on how much time you have to prepare for the SAT and how close you are to your potential maximum score.
The Standard Edition includes 4 full learning cycles, 1 hand-graded essay and four months of access (note: a “cycle” refers to a full SAT practice exam with complete online video review of each question).
The Premium Edition gives you an additional 4 learning cycles (8 in total), 2 hand-graded essays and six months of access.
Both editions will give you a score improvement guarantee, a Study Hall with over 100 SAT subject lesson videos and complete access to the ePrep’s one-of-a-kind WordSmith™ Vocabulary Builder. T
hrough each ePrep Learning Cycle, you should notice incremental improvements in your SAT test scores – an indication you’re on your way to maximizing your SAT score!

Should I take each practice SAT test in one sitting?
You do not need to complete a full SAT practice test in one sitting. Rather, you should simply try to complete a full test section (i.e., Test 1 – Math – Section 2) each time you practice with ePrep. This is the most practical – and effective – way to focus on a given SAT subject area.
Nevertheless, just like running a marathon, you should experience the stamina required to take a full SAT test. We have designated test 4 and test 8 (for those enrolled in the Premium Edition) as the ePrep practice tests where you should attempt to complete in one sitting.
Does ePrep for the SAT feature a diagnostic test?
Yes and no... While there is no separate, specific diagnostic test; every SAT test within ePrep can be considered a diagnostic test. That’s because ePrep is continually measuring your strengths and weaknesses against SAT subjects and recommending lessons for review throughout the entire course! It’s silly to think any SAT study program can know your strengths and weaknesses after one test, particularly since not every SAT subject area is featured in depth on any single test.
