The learning science behind higher Digital SAT scores
Test1600 is built on simple principles that are repeatedly supported by learning science: practice beats re-reading, feedback beats guessing, and consistency beats cramming. We focus on helping students build habits that translate into real test-day performance.
We don’t promise “magic jumps.” We build a system that makes it easier to do the work that actually moves scores.
What we build the product around
Three evidence-backed ingredients: retrieval practice, feedback, and motivation.
Retrieval practice beats re-reading
Students learn more when they actively pull information from memory (practice questions) instead of passively reviewing notes. Test1600 is designed around doing problems first, then learning from the results.
Feedback turns mistakes into skill
Practice only helps if students understand why they missed a question. That’s why Test1600 emphasizes step-by-step explanations, hints, and targeted follow-up practice - so the same mistake doesn’t show up again.
Motivation makes it consistent
Most SAT plans fail because students stop. We use short sessions, progress tracking, streaks, and gamified goals to make consistent practice easier - because consistency is the multiplier.
What this means inside Test1600
You’ll see targeted practice sets, adaptive practice tests, and clear review flows that turn errors into learning. Each session is designed to be short enough to repeat daily - because the best study plan is the one students actually follow.
We also encourage students to pair full-length official Bluebook tests with Test1600 for daily skill-building and review.
