The problem it solves
Students need accessible and affordable test preparation resources. This service provides valuable practice materials in a convenient digital format.

Monthly subscription fee for access to a library of practice tests and instructional content.
Skills you need
Content creation, digital marketing, educational expertise, and software development.
The market, and why this works now
High school juniors preparing for the SAT often seek effective online resources. The growing popularity of digital learning platforms like Khan Academy creates an opportunity to offer a subscription service that includes interactive practice tests and video explanations. A potential first-revenue move involves advertising on r/SAT, where students actively seek test preparation materials. A key constraint in the first year will be the capital required to develop high-quality content and maintain the platform, which may lead to slower scalability than anticipated.
