Question 1

How does TextPrep actually work?

Accepted Answer

Each day we text you one practice question for your chosen test. You reply with the letter of your answer (like "B"), and we text back whether you got it right plus a short, worked explanation. That's it: no app to download and no login to remember.

Question 2

Which tests do you cover?

Accepted Answer

The SAT and PSAT today, with the ACT and GRE coming soon. Join the notify list on the tests page and we'll email you the day they open. Each enrollment is for one test, but you can run more than one at a time if you're prepping for several.

Question 3

What does it cost?

Accepted Answer

It's a one-time payment based on how far away your test is: the longer your runway, the more practice you get. For most people it's $14.99 one-time, which covers up to about five months of daily questions right up to test day. Tests under a month away qualify for a discounted "cram" price of $9.99. You'll always see the exact price before you pay, and it's never a subscription.

Question 4

What SAT questions do you actually send by text?

Accepted Answer

All 19 official SAT Math skills, plus the grammar, punctuation, transitions and vocabulary-in-context side of Reading & Writing, which is about half that section. The long-passage reading questions and anything built around a diagram aren't part of it: those need a screen, not a text. We keep a page with the current, specific list, and the reasoning behind each gap.

Question 5

Is this a subscription? Will I be auto-charged?

Accepted Answer

No. TextPrep is a single one-time payment for your enrollment, which runs until your test date. Nothing renews and you'll never be charged automatically.

Question 6

Can I sign someone else up?

Accepted Answer

It depends who you are. If you're the parent or legal guardian, choose "I'm a parent or guardian" at sign-up. You enter your student's number and consent on their behalf. If you're anyone else (a relative, a friend, a tutor), you can't opt in on their behalf, but you can gift it: pay for a plan and they redeem it with their own number and their own consent.

Question 7

How do I stop the messages?

Accepted Answer

Reply STOP at any time and we'll immediately stop all texts. Reply START to resume, or HELP for help. Because the price reflects your full runway to test day, payments aren't refundable for unused days, but you're always in control of the messages.

Question 8

I'm under 18. Can I sign up?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with a parent or guardian. TextPrep is built for students, but if you're under 18 a parent or guardian needs to review our Terms and Privacy Policy and approve your sign-up. The service isn't intended for children under 13.

Question 9

Is there a login or a password?

Accepted Answer

There are no passwords. Today you manage everything right in your texts: reply to your daily question, text STATS for your progress, or text HELP for help. A full account sign-in with a texted code is coming soon.

Question 10

Can I change my daily question time or test date?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Just reply to your daily text or email hello@textprep.org and we'll update your delivery time, time zone, or test date. Self-serve account management is coming soon, and changes take effect with your next daily question.

Question 11

What if I'm studying for two tests at once?

Accepted Answer

You can run two tests at once: each gets its own daily question at its own time, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, so your thread stays clean. A third test waits in line and starts automatically when one of the first two wraps up.

Question 12

Do the questions come from real past exams?

Accepted Answer

No. All of our questions are original, written and reviewed by us. We're not affiliated with or endorsed by the College Board, ACT, ETS, or any testing organization; we just help you practice for their tests.

Question 13

Does this replace my tutor or other study sessions?

Accepted Answer

No. TextPrep isn't a replacement for your tutor, prep book, class, or practice tests. It's the glue that keeps the momentum going in between those sessions. A question a day keeps the material warm so you show up sharper to everything else you're already doing.

Question 14

Will this raise my score?

Accepted Answer

TextPrep is built on well-established learning research: spaced repetition and answering questions from memory both beat cramming and re-reading. That said, no honest program can guarantee a specific score. We focus on making consistent practice easy, which is the part most students skip.

Question 15

How do you handle my information?

Accepted Answer

We only collect what we need to send your questions and run your account, and we never sell your data or share your phone number for marketing. See our Privacy Policy for the full details.
