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! 

 

Roadmap to the SAT and ACT by Vocabulary.com

To ensure students get the most out of their study sessions, Vocabulary.com created the Roadmap to the SAT and Roadmap to the ACT. These adaptive programs prepare students for the reading section of SAT and PSAT exams, and major sections of the ACT, including key math and science vocab. 

Over the course of eight to ten weeks, each Roadmap empowers students to master the words they’re most likely to see on test day. With weekly practice activities and quizzes, the program is flexible, allowing students to learn at their own pace, while providing targeted instruction that focuses on the unique set of words each student should familiarize themselves with.
