Designed For the Serious Student
What do we mean by this claim? Simply put, we are the only service that adds value to the data rather than merely providing a pretty cookie-cutter LMS platform that works much like any other. We break out your training and performance to the useful, detailed level of the actual question prompts you will see on exam day.
Ask yourself the following:
- Is your service designed to differentiate verb tense/agreement questions from finite verb questions from pronouns to possessives or even modifiers or do they just call it Form, Structure, and Sense?
- Can you train on each prompt and learn lessons, tips, and tricks to excel in each?
- Can you quickly visualize your detailed weaknesses and strengths every time you take an exam or exercise? and then focus on correcting each weakness?
- Do you have access to robust tools to filter and sift through all your answers?
- If not, you may want to try SAT Universal for free or access the full Reading and Writing package for under $10.
- You can take a practice module anywhere, but if you are serious about practicing and learning the exam the way it is designed, then we can help.
Added Value to the Data

Not All Answer Explanations are Created Equal
Have you ever been frustrated or confused reading a typical, long written answer explanation for a problem?
Not only do we provide insightful video explanations to every problem, our quick-take answers “cut right to chase” of the ideas you need to proactively identify from every reading question text to formulate effective answer predictions.
Quick-Take Examples:
Inferences:
Paragraph Evidence/Hypothesis: People relate to Shakespeare topics they know: love, family, etc.
Last sentence(s) Premise: People do not know the history of the time of Shakespeare.
Conclusion: People do not relate to Shakespeare history plays.
Command of Evidence:
Background Facts: She plants sixteen seeds of choy sum in a mixture of (acidic) coffee grounds and potting soil and another sixteen seeds in potting soil without coffee grounds as the control.
Claim/Hypothesis: a slightly acidic soil environment is more beneficial for the growth of choy sum than a neutral soil.
Support/Weaken: Weakens
Predicted Answer: The choy sum with the coffee grounds grew less than the seeds without coffee grounds.
Words in Context:
Word Clues: this conjecture = “speculates”
Word Clues: Opposite of “cleaner process” = “inadequate”
These are but a few examples. Aren’t they quicker and easier to understand? These explanations aren’t just answers, they provide a useful way to help you learn how to create helpful answer predictions for each question prompt.
Not All Reports are Created Equal
We break the data down into detailed question prompts. Naturally, we also take advantage of that database to help you learn detailed lessons and tricks to solve these various prompts. Successful test takers know you must understand and master the varied skills and question prompts covered on the exam. For example…
What is your process to solve verb questions? On a time-constrained exam you need a strategy for every prompt.
These questions are easy if you know what to do. There are many other examples just like this one.
A Different Focus
SAT Universal integrates your results into a front end that helps you to focus on your particular strengths and weaknesses. This is an entirely different focus than other services. Score reports are nice to periodically benchmark your progress, but they are not the most effective way to learn and improve.
The Key to Successful Preparation:
- Make sure you know all the underlying theorems/concepts.
- Make sure you learn the particular questions you will be asked and how to answer each.
- Once you know the material and the exam design, practice, practice, practice.
Practice modules are great to benchmark a score, but:
- they don’t help you learn the underlying concepts.
- they contain all the question prompts, but the focus is on score, not learning how to improve on each question prompt.
- What better place to start than the official question bank organized by every question prompt?
Take your practice modules anywhere, but study and practice here. If you want to learn how to improve your score, let’s get serious. Try SAT Universal today for free.
