Eight questions that adjust as you go. No sign-up, no card.
Too easy, and you're bored. Too hard, and anxiety sets in and you freeze. In between is flow, where you learn fastest and remember longest. FocusHour reads every answer and keeps adjusting, so you stay there as you get better.
Each class teaches one of College Board's SAT skills, named in its own words. In math and writing, it goes in eight steps from the skill's easiest question to one of the hardest the test asks. In reading, it reads with you first, then you read on your own. It works alongside school and any tutoring, not instead of them.
Each class takes one skill from its easiest question to one of the hardest the test asks, in eight steps. Every step is a short film, then a question of your own, with no help. Get it right and you go up a step.
Miss a step's question and you get a second one on it. Miss that too and it's today's gap, marked on the bar, with a short film from scratch if you want it. The class goes on to the next step.
Every right answer takes you up a step. The eighth is one of the hardest questions the test asks: try it first, or watch it solved, then try one like it. 6,200+ questions across 21 topics, each answer checked by an independent solve.
Then the class goes back to the gap, with Key idea and the coach on: write your working and the coach names the line where it went off. Five on your own come next, and a fresh question on each gap. The next class picks up at the step you missed.
155 short films with captions. Some teach a tool from scratch; others solve a real test-style question, step by step, including the hardest ones and the most common mistakes.
A reading class reads the first two passages aloud as the words light up. At set points it pauses: what has the text said so far? Pick one of two summaries, then see a good reader's note. The next two come a sentence at a time; the last two are plain, as on the test.
Our own adaptive practice tests, timed like the real one, with your results beside your classes.
The SAT runs 2 h 14 min. Staying sharp that long is built like stamina, one full, well-planned hour at a time; we don't think short bursts build it. So every class is an hour, and it's planned for you, so the hour goes where you need it.
39 classes on College Board's own skills, named in its words and grouped by its domains; the heavy skills in parts, so time follows the points.
Each class picks up at the first step you haven't got right. Steps you've proved stay proved.
A right answer takes you up a step; a miss brings a second question. Two misses mark a gap, and the rest of the hour starts from your gaps.
No sign-up and no card. Start a class straight away.

From your own answers. Each class picks up at the first step of its skill you haven't got right. A miss brings a second question on the same step; two misses make it a gap, and two gaps in a row end the steps for the day. Then the class goes back to your gaps with help on, gives you five questions on your own, and a fresh question on each gap.
The SAT itself runs 2 h 14 min. We believe staying focused that long is trained like stamina, so every class is one full hour, with a clear plan and no feed or leaderboard. You choose the days. Stop after any part and it keeps your place.
Not a person: it's an AI language model (an LLM), working inside guardrails we built. Every question is prepared in advance with its checked answer, the quickest way to it and the usual traps, and the coach is given that context, so it doesn't work things out from scratch. Its job isn't to tell you the answer; it pinpoints where your technique went off compared with the best way to take that question on the test.
The digital SAT's math and its reading and writing, built on College Board's published skills. The practice test follows the digital SAT's shape: two modules a section, the second set by how the first went.
