Smart prep framework

Content alone isn’t enough; we also provide a smart, structured learning path to make your preparation more effective. Our approach is broken down into three key phases:

1. Guided practice flow

We start with a clear progression to build your skills step-by-step:

• Strengthen core skills with targeted, topic-based questions.
• Reinforce learning by applying multiple skills in a short test.
• Challenge yourself with a full-length mock exam to review all the knowledge.

3. Review & retake system

After each test, you’ll get detailed feedback to understand your mistakes. From there, you can:

• Review explanations and correct answers
• Reattempt anytime you want to improve incorrect questions
• Track your progress over time

This loop of practice, spaced review, and retesting keeps your learning active and focused, giving you a strong advantage on test day. Ready to get started? Explore our PERT Practice Test to access tests for all subjects, including Math and Writing.
