Question Bank Depth

Coverage you can inspect before students discover a gap.

The SAT/ACT product now reports bank size, hard-item coverage, section spread, thin skills, and explanation requirements. This is the operating layer that keeps Target Practice credible next to official practice, free practice tools, and paid prep banks.

Public SAT/ACT Skill Coverage Map

Buyer-visible depth without pretending raw volume solves everything.

This is the inspection layer parents, tutors, and skeptical students need before trusting a paid week: how many original items exist, how many are hard, which skills are protected from thin first assignments, and where the next authoring sprint is aimed.

Full-Length Coverage

Enough original depth for a complete SAT or ACT simulation.

Full simulations reduce the need to leave Target Practice just to feel exam stamina. Official tools still remain the benchmark source for official scoring and current test-day rules.

Start Simulation

SAT Full-Length

SAT Full-Length Original Simulation

98 original questions across two Reading/Writing modules and two Math modules. Use Bluebook for official benchmark scoring; use this when the student wants to stay in Target Practice for stamina and proof.

ACT Full-Length

ACT Full-Length Original Simulation

215 original questions across English, Math, Reading, and Science/Data. Use official ACT materials for official benchmark scoring; use this when the student wants one long in-app run.

Competitive Gap to Close

UWorld/Khan-style depth still needs a focused build sprint.

This is the UWorld/Khan-style parity gap Target Practice should close before making strong bank-depth claims: hard SAT/ACT sets, AP course coverage, paid-ready teaching gates, and fuller simulator coverage.

Next build target: close SAT/ACT hard-item gaps first, then lift paid-ready skill gates with choice rationales and deep-dive templates before claiming full bank parity.

10-Week Depth Sprint

Sprint 1 is running: hard-item calibration foundation.

The plan closes the gap in weekly releases: first SAT/ACT hard-item credibility, then teaching gates, AP course depth, timed environments, and finally release-claim QA.

week 1 running
Sprint 1 items240
Sprint 1 gates12
Sprint 1 simulator8

Sprint 1 Acceptance Criteria

Publish the live parity dashboard with current gap math and first-week targets.

Create the first hard-item authoring queue for SAT Math, SAT Reading/Writing, ACT Math, and ACT Science/Data.

Require every Sprint 1 item to include correct rationale, distractor rationales, trap type, difficulty, and transfer prompt.

Do not count an item toward parity unless it passes source-safety and answer-choice quality checks.

Weekly Release Plan

W1

Hard-item calibration foundation

Sprint 1 creates the operating system for closing the P0 SAT/ACT hard-item gap without inflating claims.

running
W2

Math ceiling depth

High-score math practice starts to feel earned instead of generic.

planned
W3

SAT verbal hard depth

SAT verbal stops being the thinest first impression for advanced students.

planned
W4

ACT section depth

ACT can stand on its own instead of feeling like SAT with labels swapped.

planned
W5

Teaching-gate lift

The first paid assignment teaches more like a coach and less like an answer key.

planned
W6

AP World depth

AP World becomes a credible course-native bank, not just a sample pathway.

planned
W7

AP Precalculus depth

Precalculus practice matches the course shape instead of over-indexing on easy MCQ.

planned
W8

AP Psychology depth

AP Psychology has enough scenario variety to feel like a real exam prep path.

planned
W9

Timed environment parity

Practice feels closer to test day and produces better evidence.

planned
W10

Release QA and claim discipline

Full-release language matches the depth the product can actually defend.
