    • Needs curriculum-specific practice and feedback across multiple demanding subjects.

  • title: SAT or ACT student and parent

objections

    response: Trial it alongside the curriculum and teacher review, checking explanations and practice quality on weak topics.
  • objection: Do score improvements prove causation?
    response: Treat the site's reported surveys as directional and compare progress against a student's own baseline.
