The routine
SAT & PSAT Drills (5 minutes)
Five SAT-style questions a day. The drill is adaptive: it tracks which topics your student gets wrong and gives those topics more often until they improve. Every question comes with an explanation of the correct answer. It is designed as a daily habit, not a study session. A few minutes every day adds up over months.
Homework Help
If a drill question shows a gap, go to Homework Help. It works Socratically: instead of handing over the answer, it walks your student through the approach step by step, with the key ideas and strategies, until they can solve it themselves. This is where concept learning happens.
Full practice test (SAT & PSAT Full Tests)
Take a full-length, timed SAT or PSAT practice test from p2mc Academy (SAT Full Tests / PSAT Full Tests in the menu). You get section scores and a growth chart across attempts (My Growth Report), so you can see real progress and decide what to focus on next.
By grade
| Grade | Focus |
|---|---|
| 9th–10th | SAT or PSAT Drills as a habit, Homework Help when stuck, and a PSAT practice test each term. Plan courses with the 4-year course planner: strong courses now matter more than early test scores. |
| 11th | Drills daily, a practice test every 4–6 weeks, and focused work on the weakest section between tests. Then the real PSAT and SAT. |
| 12th | Practice tests before any retake, focusing on the section with the most room to improve. |
Common questions
Are the practice questions at my child's grade level?
They are written to SAT and PSAT standards, the level of the real test, not to a school grade. The SAT and PSAT Drills adapt to your student's weak areas, so younger students practise what they are ready for most.
Does p2mc teach, or only test?
Both. Every drill answer is explained, and Homework Help teaches the approach to a concept step by step, Socratically, until your student can solve it on their own.
How much time should we spend?
About 5 minutes a day for the drills, Homework Help as needed, and roughly 3 hours every 4 to 6 weeks for a full-length practice test. Consistency matters more than long sessions.
