Exam prep that targets the gaps — not the calendar
Whether it's the SAT, the ACT, an AP exam, or Friday's chemistry test, the failure mode is the same: undirected practice with nothing happening between attempts. Talon runs one method for all of them — diagnose, plan backward, practice timed, review every miss. Free to start.
Start with a free diagnosticThe method
Diagnose before you drill
One timed section reveals which question types actually cost points — and whether the problem is content or pacing. Prep that skips this step is guessing.
Plan backward from test day
Set the date; Talon divides the remaining weeks into topic blocks weighted toward your gaps, in sessions short enough to survive a school week.
Practice under time pressure
Timed mocks every second or third week, with AI review of every miss afterward — the step that separates score movement from busywork.
Keep fixed topics fixed
Spaced review automatically brings weak concepts back at widening intervals, so week-two fixes are still solid on test day.

Diagnostic, backward-planned schedule, timed sections, and review — built around the SAT.
The SAT prep method →ACT prep
Same method, tuned for the ACT's famous time pressure — pacing drills matter even more here.
The ACT prep method →AP subjects
Topic-by-topic practice and timed mocks for AP coursework, connected to the same tutor that helps with the class itself.
How the AI tutor works →School exams
Unit tests, midterms, finals: generate timed practice from what the class actually covered, then review the misses.

Which exams does Talon help prepare for?
SAT, ACT, and AP subjects, plus regular school exams — unit tests, midterms, and finals. The mock-test engine works on any material: it can generate timed practice from a course, a topic, or content you bring.
How is this different from a prep book or a question bank?
A book gives everyone the same sequence. Talon starts with a diagnostic, builds a day-by-day plan backward from your test date around your specific gaps, and then adapts as mock results come in. The practice is the same kind of work — the targeting is what changes the outcome.
Does it explain the questions I get wrong?
Yes — that review step is the core of the product. After each timed mock, the AI walks through every miss: the rule or concept involved, why the tempting wrong answer was tempting, and what to practice next.
Can parents see how prep is going?
Yes. The weekly parent digest shows what was practiced and how sessions are trending, without exposing every message. Useful when "how is studying going?" keeps getting answered with "fine".
Is exam prep free?
Talon is free to start, no credit card — you can run a diagnostic and start a study plan on the free tier.
