[Introduction] • Welcome to the world's most comprehensive SAT-PSAT Math flashcard app on the iPhone! • Access 412 flashcards: concepts, formulas, and techniques that students need to recall instantly and accurately to beat the clock on test day • Built by Ved Sampath, a Big Tech software engineer • Content developed by PrepAccelerator's PhD statistician (PrepAccelerator.com) [Free Cards] • The first 34 cards (Tier 1) are free, so you can download the app on your iPhone and test-drive these cards for free. • If you like the content, you may pay to access the other 378 cards in Tiers 2 and 3. [The Challenge] • A majority of students do NOT know that they are expected to memorize formulas by test day • SAT and PSAT test students on these formulas. For most questions, they do NOT provide the formulas. Students taking the test with perfect knowledge of the formulas outscore students who do not have the formulas memorized. • For example, does your student know the total surface area of a rectangular pyramid? It's in this card app. It has been tested. [Our Philosophy] • Students should never lose points for forgetting a formula - avoid this! • Students need to memorize these formulas using spaced repetition. This app helps them do this effectively. [Pace] • The majority of students have trouble completing the Math section since they either don't know the formulas or cannot retrieve them quickly. • This app helps students pick up the pace on test day since instant and accurate recall is a game changer. • The increased speed gives students increased confidence on the test. • This app helps students recall terms and concepts quickly. [Content] • The cards form 3 tiers: Tier 1 (FREE download, 34 cards), Tier 2 (314 must-know cards, paid), Tier 3 (64 rarely tested cards, paid). • Each card has 4 parts: Concept, Explanation, Question, and Solution. • Yes, each card has a practice question, which reinforces the concept. The practice question appears immediately after the concept so that students can test themselves on the concept while it is fresh... and their learning gets reinforced! • There are 412 practice questions in the app, once for each concept. [Parents] • Parents too may download and test-run the free version (34 cards). Quiz your students on the concepts and gauge how many are familiar. And how quickly your kid can recall them. • Incidentally, quizzing your student on the concepts is THE #1 way to improve the math score on test day. Calculators help only partially, and guess-and-check will slow down your students on the test and cause them to guess frantically on the last few questions. [Features] • 140+ clear, bold illustrations • The cards come sorted in 6 buckets: PreAlgebra, Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, Coordinate Geometry, Plain Geometry, and Trigonometry. • The user can tell the app which cards are familiar and which cards need additional review. The app remembers the user's choices and returns the hard cards to the stack for the next review. • A dial on the home page shows student progress in each tier. • The user can randomize the cards in each bucket for subsequent review. This is a powerful feature as it mimics the SAT: questions do NOT follow a preset order on test day. • A reset button sends ALL the cards - familiar and hard - back into the stack for a full review.
