Personalized study plans from IXL
Available for both SAT and ACT prep, IXL’s study plans allow learners to enter their scores from a prior test or practice exam and receive a personalized list of the exact IXL skills they need to work on. They can update their scores at any time to ensure that their targeted skills are always relevant to their knowledge levels!
Like general IXL skill practice, each IXL skill included on a study plan eases students into higher difficulty levels. With immediate feedback, students are able to build a strong understanding of key concepts while learning from their mistakes!
