R.test – the test for SAT and ACT preparedness

“The ambition is to scale up AI-powered test prep to provide effective education across a wide range of subjects and learning environments”

I am always excited to see new innovations that have the potential to make learning more accessible and effective, and that’s why I am thrilled to launch R.test, an AI-powered application from Riiid designed to help students prepare for standardised tests such as the SAT and ACT.

What makes R.test so exciting is its ability to predict test scores with high accuracy in a fraction of the time it takes to complete a full mock test.

With just 30 questions, R.test quickly evaluates a student’s test preparedness and provides detailed analysis of their knowledge and test-taking strategy. It even provides students with actionable guidance on how to improve, including a selection of relevant practice questions curated by the AI engine.

“AI can recommend content and the most efficient learning path for each individual learner”

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if teachers had superpowers? With all the demands made of them – keeping track of slow learners, paying attention to gifted students, checking homework, grading tests, no wonder they struggle. But we can enable educators with superpowers today using artificial intelligence, the perfect solution for learners.

No, institutions don’t have to start hiring data scientists to build complex algorithms. Edtech companies have done all the work. All it takes is an IT manager to plug the AI brain into whatever learning management system an institution has adopted with something called an Application Programming Interface, or API.

APIs are like pipes that connect one software system to another. Suddenly, the LMS that instructors use to assign homework or grade tests has a brain of its own.

“Artificial intelligence systems are being developed to act as teachers’ aides, leaving teachers more time to give individual students personalised attention”

The world’s current education paradigm relies on an outdated and inefficient model with one teacher helping an entire classroom of students master the same material at roughly the same pace in a predetermined amount of time. The model also assumes that student motivation is relatively constant, and roughly the same for each student, explains YJ Jang, CEO and founder of Riiid.

Even exceptionally talented teachers can overcome only some of these issues, but exceptionally talented teachers are, by definition, rare.
