Fit
Choose by the job you need done
A question bank and a full prep platform can both be useful. The mistake is expecting one workflow to do the other workflow's job.

Evidence
What to check before choosing
The better fit is the one that changes what the student does after a missed question.
- Study plan or skill drill
- If the blocker is deciding what to study, a guided platform may help. If the blocker is repeated misses in one skill, a narrow question bank is faster.
- How public the practice path is
- For quick practice, check whether the route to a specific SAT skill and question is available without setup friction.
- What happens after a miss
- A miss should become a named error and another attempt, not just an answer key the student reads once.
- Cost and cadence
- A paid prep workflow has to earn repeated use. A free question bank can sit beside another plan as the daily repair surface.
