Most test prep hands a kid a score and a bigger pile of questions. UnofficialPrep names the specific concept behind every wrong answer, teaches it with a short AI Tutor lesson, and checks that it stuck. So practice time goes into the few things actually holding the score back.
Realistic practice for the ISEE, SSAT, HSPT, SAT and ACT, plus math placement and readiness tests, for grades 4–12. Short sessions a few times a week, and the list of weak spots keeps shrinking. Steady beats cramming, every time.

How it works
Full-length or a single section, matched to the real exam’s format, timing and question types.
The review says what actually went wrong: not “Math 62%”, but “solving linear equations with fractions”.
A short lesson on that one concept, then fresh questions written just for it. Easier or harder, as many rounds as they need.
Mastered concepts drop off the focus list, and the next test checks they stay gone.
Then go around again. Twenty minutes, two or three times a week, beats a marathon the weekend before the test. Each pass retires a concept and surfaces the next one, so the list of things holding the score back keeps getting shorter.
Why it works
Grades 4–12, from admissions tests to math placement. Practice that meets students at their level, reviews that name the concept behind every miss, and a tutor that closes the gap before the next test.
Every question is written for this platform and pitched at the grade it is meant for. We never reuse official test material.
Too easy is boring and too hard is discouraging. Questions are chosen to match the student’s current level, so practice builds confidence instead of dread.
After every test, more than a score: the specific concepts behind each mistake, rolled into a Readiness Report that updates as they go.
Instead of waiting for next week’s tutoring session, they get the explanation right then, plus brand-new practice on exactly that idea. Easier or harder, as many rounds as they need.
Who it's for
Most students arrive with one specific test between them and the school, track or class they want. UnofficialPrep is built around these moments.
Middle school
Getting into an honors or accelerated track often comes down to one placement test. Practice the exact question types, find the shaky concepts, and walk in knowing what to expect.
Honors placement practiceHSPT
For many Catholic high schools the HSPT drives admission, scholarships and honors placement all at once. Full-length practice across every section, with reviews that say what to fix.
HSPT practice testsISEE & SSAT
ISEE and SSAT sections are tightly timed and scored against a competitive pool. Adaptive practice keeps the difficulty honest, so a score reflects real readiness, not a lucky test form.
ISEE practice testsMath readiness
Moving up to Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry or Pre-Calculus? A readiness test shows which foundations are solid before the year starts, so gaps get fixed over the summer instead of in October.

This is Algebra2 Readiness test. What is this test for? * An Algebra 2 Readiness Test evaluates whether a student has the foundational algebraic thinking required to succeed in a full Algebra 2 course without remediation. Schools use this (formally or informally) to decide: * Whether a student can skip review and start Algebra 2 immediately * Whether they need summer bridge work * Whether they should repeat Algebra 1 / take Algebra 1.5 * Whether they’re ready for accelerated math tracks (Algebra 2 → Precalculus) This is not an Algebra 2 test. It tests everything Algebra 2 assumes you already know. What skills is it testing at a high level? * Algebra 2 assumes students can already: * Manipulate algebraic expressions confidently * Solve linear and quadratic equations fluently * Understand functions conceptually (not just plug-and-chug) * Work with rational expressions and exponents * Translate word problems into equations * Recognize patterns and relationships

A Geometry Readiness / Placement Test determines whether a student is ready to: * Enter Geometry (typically Grade 7–9 depending on acceleration) * Needs Pre-Geometry / Algebra reinforcement * Should move into Honors / Accelerated Geometry It does NOT test full Geometry proofs. Instead, it checks whether the student has the algebraic + spatial foundation required to survive and succeed in Geometry.

A Pre-Calculus Readiness Test evaluates whether a student has the algebraic fluency, functional thinking, and mathematical maturity needed to succeed in a full Pre-Calculus course. It is not a Pre-Calculus exam. It answers one question: * Can this student handle Pre-Calculus without struggling? Where is it used? Primary use cases * Placement into Pre-Calculus (vs repeating Algebra 2) * Admission to accelerated / honors math tracks * Summer bridge or remediation decisions * Parent decision-making (extra prep vs move ahead) * Teacher validation before allowing advancement Typical students * End of Algebra 2 (Grade 9–10) * Accelerated Grade 8–9 students * Homeschooled / international transfers * Students targeting AP Calculus later What does it test (high-level)? * The test measures: * Algebra mastery (not memorization) * Function understanding (inputs → outputs → behavior) * Graphical interpretation * Trigonometry foundations * Mathematical reasoning & precision Think of it as: Algebra 2 fluency + function intuition + trig basics

The Preliminary SAT / National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Taken by 10th and 11th graders as SAT practice and — in 11th grade — as the qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship Program. Digital adaptive format (post-2023): two subjects, two modules each. Reading & Writing has 27 questions in 32 minutes per module; Math has 22 questions in 35 minutes per module with calculator (Desmos) allowed throughout. Module 2 difficulty adapts to Module 1 performance. Four answer choices per question. Score range 320 to 1520.

The Specialized High Schools Admissions Test for admission to New York City's specialized high schools (Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, Brooklyn Tech and others). Taken in 8th grade (a 9th-grade version also exists). Two parts, English Language Arts and Mathematics, 57 questions each, in one 180-minute sitting with no per-section time limit — students decide how to split their time. No calculator. No penalty for wrong answers, so every question should be attempted. Admission is by composite score against each school's cutoff.

This is a 6th/7th-grade math placement test which evaluates a student's readiness for middle school mathematics or advanced placement tracks by assessing core foundational skills. While exact formats vary by school district, the test typically covers five primary domains based on Common Core State Standards or similar state benchmarks.

For parents
Practice happens at home, on their own. You get a clear picture of what is improving and what still needs work, without having to ask.
Mistakes turn into short lessons instead of a red score. Kids watch their list of weak spots shrink, and that is what keeps them coming back.
The Readiness Report refreshes after every test review. Check it any time, or share a progress link, and skip the “how did it go?”
Private tutoring is expensive and happens once a week. The AI Tutor explains the concept the moment they are stuck, then drills it. Included from $20/month.
Free for tutors and teachers
Link your students, assign School Math topics or your own question banks, and see mastery, test results and every missed question before each session. Your account costs nothing; students use the plans on this page.
