How to get the most out of your SuperScored plan

Don't Just Read the Answer—Interrogate It

Most students use practice questions the wrong way. They get a question wrong, read the correct answer explanation, nod their head, and think, "Okay, I get it now."

But five days later, they make the exact same mistake.

Why? Because reading is passive. To truly learn a concept, you need to be active. At Superscored AI, the AI Tutor in the Skills Tab isn’t just there to tell you what the answer is—it’s there to help you understand why.

How to "Prompt" Your Way to a Higher Score

Don’t settle for the default explanation. Treat the AI like a real human tutor sitting next to you. Here are three specific prompts you should use when you get stuck:

1. "Why is Choice B wrong?" Often, you know why the right answer is right, but you don't know why your specific wrong choice was incorrect. This is called "distractor analysis." Ask the AI to explain the trap in the specific answer you chose.

  • Prompt: "I chose B. Can you explain exactly why B is incorrect in this context?"

2. "Explain it like I’m 5." Sometimes textbook definitions are too dense. If the standard explanation is confusing, ask the AI to simplify it.

  • Prompt: "This explanation is too technical. Can you explain this concept using a real-world analogy?"

3. "Give me a harder version of this." If you guessed and got it lucky, don't move on. Ask the AI to generate a similar question to prove you actually know the rule.

  • Prompt: "I want to make sure I have this down. Can you generate a similar question, but slightly harder?"

The Takeaway: The AI Tutor is the most powerful tool in your arsenal, but it only works if you engage with it. Next time you’re in the Skills Tab, don’t just read—interrogate.

The Science of Superscroll: Why Volume Matters

In sports, if you want to get better at free throws, you don’t shoot one ball, read a book about physics, and then wait 10 minutes to shoot again. You stand at the line and shoot 50 shots in a row until the motion is automatic.

Academic testing is no different.

We built Superscroll to solve a specific problem: Friction. In traditional studying, you spend half your time flipping pages, navigating menus, or waiting for pages to load. That downtime kills your flow.

How Superscroll Hacks Your Learning Curve

Superscroll is designed for high-volume, low-friction repetition. Here is why this method works:

1. Pattern Recognition Standardized tests reuse the same patterns over and over. When you use Superscroll to do 20 questions on "Commas" in rapid succession, you stop reading the sentences for content and start seeing the structure. You begin to recognize the trap before you even finish reading the question.

2. Speed Training The biggest enemy on test day is the clock. Superscroll forces you to make decisions quickly. By removing the "submit" and "next page" lag, you train your brain to process information faster. If you can answer a question in 15 seconds during Superscroll, you’ll have plenty of time on the actual test.

3. Breaking the "Doomscroll" Habit We know you’re used to scrolling endlessly on social media. Superscroll hijacks that same dopamine loop but directs it toward productivity. Instead of scrolling through videos, you are scrolling through knowledge gaps.

How to Use It: Don't use Superscroll for deep learning of new concepts (use the Skills Tab for that). Use Superscroll for drilling. Pick a topic you are vaguely familiar with, set a timer for 10 minutes, and see how many "reps" you can get in.

The 30-Minute Daily Routine: Maximum Gains, Minimal Burnout

The biggest mistake students make is treating test prep like a marathon they have to run all at once. They cram for 4 hours on a Sunday, get exhausted, and then don't look at a question for three days.

But the secret to a high score isn't intensity—it's consistency.

At Superscored AI, we’ve optimized our platform to fit into your busy schedule. You don't need hours of free time; you just need a focused 30 minutes. Here is a perfect daily loop to improve your score without burning out.

Minutes 0–5: The "Cold" Review

Where: Dashboard / Previous Tests / Saved Questions Before you learn anything new, reinforce what you learned yesterday.

  • Open your most recent session.

  • Look exclusively at the questions you got wrong.

  • Don't solve them again—just read the explanation and remind yourself why you missed it.

  • Why this works: This triggers "spaced repetition," moving information from short-term to long-term memory.

Minutes 5–20: The Superscroll Drill

Where: Superscroll Tab Now that you’re warmed up, pick one specific skill that is currently "Red" or "Yellow" in your analytics.

  • Enter the Superscroll Tab.

  • Set a timer for 15 minutes.

  • Go as fast as you can while maintaining accuracy.

  • Why this works: This is your "gym time." You are building muscle memory. By focusing on just one weak area, you turn a weakness into a strength through sheer volume.

Minutes 20–30: The "Simulated" Sprint

Where: Tests Tab Finish your session with a short, formal quiz.

  • Select a mixed set of questions (not just the topic you drilled).

  • Treat this like the real exam: no music, no phone, just focus.

  • Why this works: Drills build skills, but tests build stamina. You need to practice switching between different topics instantly, just like you will on test day.

The Result

If you follow this routine 6 days a week, that’s 3 hours of high-quality prep per week. Because Superscored AI cuts out the fluff (flipping pages, grading manually), those 3 hours are worth 10 hours of traditional studying.

Set a recurring alarm on your phone for a time that works for you—maybe right before dinner or on the bus ride home—and commit to the 30-minute loop for just one week.
