SAT · ACT · PSAT: know exactly where you stand
One free adaptive check, about 20 minutes, scores the math and reading/writing skills all three national exams test — no card required.
Three exams, the same core skills
All three lean on the same math and reading/writing foundations — a gap the readiness check finds shows up on any of them.
SAT
The College Board's national admission test — math plus reading & writing, scored out of 1600. Also the state-mandated grade 11 assessment in several states, given during the school day.
ACT
The other national admission test — English, math, reading and science, scored out of 36. A number of states use it as their statewide college-and-career-readiness assessment.
PSAT
The practice/qualifying version of the SAT — the score that qualifies students for National Merit recognition, and the assessment several states give in grades 8-10.
Common questions
Does PrepGro cover the SAT, ACT and PSAT?
Yes. Practice sets for all three are in the catalogue, including the state-mandated administrations several states use as their grade 8-11 assessment. The free adaptive readiness check also scores the shared math and reading/writing skills these exams test, no matter which one you are prepping for.
What is the difference between the SAT, ACT and PSAT?
The SAT and ACT are the two national college-admission tests US colleges accept; most students take one or the other. The PSAT is the practice/qualifying version of the SAT, usually taken in 10th or 11th grade, and is also the National Merit Scholarship qualifying test.
How long does the readiness check take?
About 20 minutes. It is adaptive, so questions get harder or easier as you answer, and it settles on your level quickly instead of asking everything.
Do I need a credit card to take the check?
No. The diagnostic and readiness report are free, with no card and no account wall required to start.
