Parent proof
How do I know if test prep is actually working?
Prep is working when the week creates evidence: the leak, the work, what changed, and the next decision. Target Practice is built around that proof loop.

Target Practice answer
Look for proof that the student found the right leak, completed a focused rep, and made a clear repeat-or-advance decision.
A parent is paying for prep but cannot tell whether it is moving.
The student is busy, but the work does not translate into a clear next step.
The family wants a weekly update that is more useful than minutes studied.
Proof loop
Families do not need a wall of prep activity. They need the target, the work, and the decision that comes after the work.
The plan starts by naming the score leak or study blocker that deserves the next hour.
The student completes one assignment that tests the fix instead of drifting through more content.
The parent sees a short update: what changed, what repeats, and what can wait.
Sample proof
The goal is not to make prep look busy. The goal is to show what changed and what deserves the next hour.
Proof receipt 1
Before
The student studied for an hour, but nobody could say whether the right issue got better.
Leak
Timed transitions were costing more points than broad reading practice.
Rep
A short targeted drill replaced a vague instruction to keep reviewing English.
Proof
Parent update: the student repaired the priority leak once; repeat under time before moving on.
Proof receipt 2
Before
A tutor session ended with notes, but the parent still had no simple way to know what should happen next.
Leak
The next blocker was pacing: correct work slowed down too much in the second half.
Rep
A 12-minute pacing set with review capped to the two slowest questions.
Proof
Parent update: accuracy held in the short set; next check is timed, not more untimed review.
First proof moment
After one useful rep, the family should know whether to repeat, advance, or retest with official practice. That is the paid layer Target Practice adds on top of practice content.
