We launched the unique “Quiz a Day” for SAT and ACT students – register for free, come every day and solve a new quiz building yourself up for the gruelling challenge of a real SAT and/or ACT.

Tackling some of the common questions about “Quiz a Day” that I come across:

But isn’t there enough material on SAT and ACT already?

Yes and no. There is material but most of it is in the form of bulky text/guide books. Internet as a delivery medium has not yet been fully exploited for SAT and ACT practice content delivery. Also, good practice content comes at heavy price tags and most of the free stuff essentially doesn’t really say anything.

Even a preliminary round of googling around will demonstrate that good online practice material for SAT and ACT is much more difficult to find than we possibly imagine.

What’s with a new quiz every day?

The idea is to provide consistent practice over a period of time. This, coupled with systemic reinforcement of struggle areas is the only real method to build competency. Quiz a Day takes care of the first part – once the weaknesses are known, in most cases, a review the particular topics from the school curriculum suffices. It puts the control back to the learner and with control comes the responsibility. It’s not spoonfeeding a set of techniques and tricks to get a particular type of problems solved.

How is it different?

Standardized tests put a huge amount of stress on kids, ask any high-schooler or his/her parents. Our kids are continuously bombarded by messages highlighting the need for a great score and how a particular course or book or program is their ticket to academic nirvana. All this conditioning creates an artificial awe and fear of the tests and the preparation becomes a gruelling task.

Quiz a Day seeks to give them consistent practice in a fun way sans the unnecessary overload. The imperative is to think ahead, start working while there is still time and give some time every day to the test prep without really going overboard and building unbearable stress loads.

Are the questions of the same pattern and standard as the tests?

Absolutely. That is a pre-requisite for any test prep program to be successful. All the questions are carefully created to reflect the testing philosophy, standards and competency level of the respective tests.

How do you tackle various sections of the tests and various question types?

The “Quiz a Day” provides a proper mix of the question types and sections carefully designed with the actual tests in mind. followed over a period of time, it will give proportionate practice in all the sections and sub-sections covered in the actual tests.

But are there any free lunches?

No, but there can be free drinks thrown in with the paid lunch package, and to take it a step further, you can offer free drinks to people who just pass by to get them to the restaurant.

But how can you offer premium content for free?

The location of our Content Development hub in India gives us a strategic advantage enabling us to provide top quality content with a cost advantage. If creative allocation of our resources helps us provide premium value to our customer base and build a connect with them, good, and if we can reduce their entry load, even better.

What’s the roadmap?

More features and power to “Quiz a Day”. Let me emphasize, it is still evolving and will be a much more potent test prep tool in the months to come.
