Everydae is revolutionizing the college preparation and education industry through an affordable and innovative college admissions standardized test preparation methodology. After surveying students and finding that the average high school student spends four to six hours per night on homework, Everydae sought to develop methodology that would not add additional stress on teenagers and contribute to unhealthy schedules or burnout. Through daily 10-minute game-like micro challenges, Everydae created an effective SAT curriculum that is affordable, adaptive, and personalized.
Everydae was created by a team of educational technology and big data Harvard and MIT graduates. The Everydae team has been in the education industry for more than 17 years and has 20,000 cumulative hours of teaching, tutoring, and curriculum development experience. Over their careers, they’ve helped over 100,000 families get into the school of their dreams. The founders also previously worked at Veritas Prep that was sold to Varsity Tutors in 2018.
Everydae is backed by leadership with extensive experience. CEO Christine Outram is an MIT graduate, inventor, and award-winning designer. She was named a Top 100 IOT thinker and one of the 36 most creative women by Business Insider. She is best known for inventing the electric bike, The Copenhagen Wheel, a TIME Magazine Best Invention. Before becoming CEO at Everydae, she was previously the Chief Product Officer at Veritas Prep that created the adaptive learning platform ORION.
Cofounder Chad Troutwine has an MPA from Harvard University, an MBA from Yale University, and a JD (Juris Doctor, law) from University Columbia-Missorui. Prior to Everydae, he co-founded Veritas Prep, where he served as CEO; Codesmith, an immersive coding academy; and Spectrum Statin, a network of preschools.
To create its curriculum, Everydae started by analyzing not only what concepts were on the SAT, but also how much studying or mastering of various concepts would help a student’s test score. Everydae’s curriculum developers printed out every released SAT exam and then cut out every test question. After sorting questions based on skills, the curriculum developers discovered that test taking strategies taught by other SAT preparation companies were becoming less applicable with new tests and topics deemed as unimportant were actually going to more efficiently raise test scores.
Popular college standardized test preparation companies, such as Kaplan, generally operate through sessions that are strictly scheduled once a week with no accountability outside of sessions. Everydae follows academic research that confirms small, daily practice is more effective than cramming. Through daily 10-minute game-like challenges and innovative methodologies, Everydae created an SAT preparation curriculum that is adaptive, personalized, and has everyday accountability. These methodologies include:
Everydae’s proprietary Readiness Score contributes to its innovative test preparation methodology. The Readiness Score estimates how prepared students are to reach their SAT goals through three criteria: the importance of each skill on the SAT, the student’s performance on each of these skills, and the student’s goal score.
The relative importance of each skill on the SAT is an important aspect of the Readiness Score because some skills will have more of an effect on a student’s score than others. Accuracy, or performance on each of these skills, is important because if students are not answering questions correctly during practice, they won’t be answered correctly on test day either.
The student’s goal score is an additional important consideration as to how prepared a student is for the SAT. A higher SAT score goal will require more mastery of skills than a lower SAT score goal. The Readiness Score may track a student’s learning more effectively than practice tests and give students confidence on test day.
The SAT is a standardized test widely used for college admissions; however, only about 15 percent of families can hire test preparation tutors. Personal SAT tutors average hourly price costs can range from $45 to $100 per hour, but this can vary greatly by region or zip code. In-person courses by test preparation companies can range from $500 to $1800. Everydae aims to close this achievement disparity by providing its digital tutor at a price families can afford. Its pricing plans are cost effective with pricing at $39 per month and a $179 lifetime access option.
Everydae is committed to providing all families access to tools, courses, and supplemental education that will help their children succeed. Students from a Title 1 school and/or are on a free or reduced lunch program can receive a discount for Everydae’s SAT test preparation. To receive the discount, eligible students simply need to contact the company through the Contact Us button at the bottom of the page.
In addition to affordable SAT test preparation, Everydae also offers free college and career resources for parents and educators throughout the United States. These free resources include grade guides to help students stay on track, student growth plans for each year of high school, and a 30-day enrichment program that motivates teenagers to discover their passion in life.
Unlike other SAT preparation courses, students’ progress and performance can be tracked through a personal dashboard that sends weekly updates. This dashboard enables students and parents to monitor progress continuously rather than at intervals through initial and subsequent practice tests like other SAT preparation course companies.
The dashboard also highlights how many challenges are left in a mission, questions that were missed so they can be reviewed, the Everydae Readiness Score, a graph indicating how many challenges have been completed in a week, coins earned, and a countdown of days until the official test date.
Taking practice tests is an important aspect of studying for the SAT. The SAT is a three-hour test, and for many students, this will be the longest exam they have taken. Even though the SAT is three hours long, students may face timing issues on the test. Timing issues are not identifiable or fixable without taking SAT practice tests.
Every two weeks, Everydae runs a free online proctored SAT practice test to help students prepare for the exam. Unlike other test preparation companies, students do not need to be a paying customer to take a practice test through Everydae. The practice tests are conducted through Zoom conducted by a SAT practice test proctor to mimic the real exam. Students will receive their score and a breakdown of weaknesses and strengths with subscore advice.
Similar to popular standardized test preparation companies, Everydae has a score improvement guarantee. If a student’s score does not improve after using Everydae, the cost of the program can be refunded. To qualify for the score improvement guarantee, students must submit an official score before signing up, have a paid account for three months, complete every challenge, and submit a second official score within 90 days of the test date.
Everydae is unique in the test preparation industry in that, in addition to its score improvement guarantee, it offers a, no questions asked, 30-day money-back guarantee. Everydae also offers a $1 for 14 days pricing at initial sign up.
Although Everydae is fairly upfront about what information it collects, users should be aware that the company collects their data/information each time they visit the website. Everydae also discloses that it may receive personal information from third parties that it is in business with.
According to Everydae personal information includes the following:
Additionally, Everydae automatically logs information about its users' computers and uses tracking technology (more commonly known as cookies). This is nothing out of the ordinary, but again it's something users should be aware of.
If you’re concerned or have questions about your information, you can contact Everydae and request the company send you a copy of everything it has on you. The company states that this may be subject to a fee, but Everydae doesn’t mention how much the fee is — so you’ll need to ask. You can also ask a representative to correct and (where relevant) erase certain information.
What makes Everydae unique compared to other college admissions test preparation companies is its innovative methodology. The program offers accountability through daily 10-minute study sessions and tracks growth through a personal dashboard and its proprietary Readiness Score.
These features would be advantageous for busy students needing consistent study, students looking for additional ways to track progress and SAT readiness outside of practice tests, and students looking to create healthy study habits. We also recommend Everydae for students needing additional advice or information on college readiness as it includes over 100 life skill boosters throughout the preparation course.
For parents who are looking to prepare their child for the SAT exam but need more affordable options, we recommend Everydae as the company is committed to providing preparation resources for every student regardless of financial circumstance through its affordable pricing and discounts when applicable.

I love the the fact that the lessons aren't long and drawn out. I can do as much as I want or as little if I'm strapped for time. I love the layout and Everydae makes learning fun.
Kyaw Naing
It is really great easy way to start preparing SAT with Everydae with no stress. It is incredibly great website with full of explanation and great contents.
Michael
Today is Day 5. My daughter has done consistent work EVERYDAY without being prompted. Prior to this, she would literally stare at her college board book “lost” as to exactly how to best prepare, resulting in no prep being done. No structure. Lots of frustration. This has, five days in, taken the guesswork out of prep.

Wow! Helping students develop self-agency and harness the power of small, consistent daily effort is literally one of our primary objectives. So it's fantastic to hear stories like this. Thanks so much for sharing, Michael!

My daughter really enjoyed the program and she felt the explanations were very clear and helpful. She felt your program was more helpful than her tutor. I also like how I have access to her account and can monitor her progress.

Thanks, Daria! We put a ton of effort into those explanations, so happy to hear that it doesn't go unnoticed. As for saying Everydae felt more helpful than her tutor, are you trying to make us blush? ;)

Everydae has made studying for the SAT a painless process. My daughter is a sophomore and not yet in test-panic mode so she's not thrilled about test prep but once she's logged in - she will work for much longer than the suggested 10 min as if she's having , dare I say...fun!? After a few practice tests she's already taken, she will mention that some questions were similar to what she had reviewed on the app or how she learned to recognize certain grammatical structures. We downloaded the app during mid-Covid lockdown figuring she may as well be doing something worthwhile so she's been at it for 3 months. Customer Support has answered my questions within hours. We are both pleased with the format so far! Thank you!

I have to say, my girl is only 3 weeks in, but she LOVES her SAT prep with Everydae! I’m so glad we found you! She actually looks forward to doing her SAT prep every day. The way you’ve broken things down is very helpful and motivating. And the humorous GIFs are on point and perfectly targeted to your audience.

What I liked best about Everydae were how short but helpful the lessons were, and it's similar format to Duolingo, making the website easy to use and keeping you engaged and dedicated. What I disliked, though, was the price of continuing everydae once my free trial ended, but for the needs of serious SAT practicers, the cost makes sense.

I love using Everydae it makes studying for the SAT so much easier. I’ve only used it for like 5 days now but haven’t found any flaws yet.
Mary Kate Farrell
Everydae is the first SAT/ACT prep website that I actually enjoy doing! I love how it is like a game, and it really motivates you to do your best on the challenges. I really enjoy completing Everydae challenges and I truly believe Everydae is preparing me well for the SAT/ACT.
Katie Vlaming
I love how motivational it is! When I get a text from you guys, I feel like I can and should go practice. I also really like the little extra credit questions between each problem.
Nelly Carrillo
Everydae is an amazing tool for students looking to improve their SAT scores. It is far different from other SAT prep programs such as Khan Academy, which, often frustrates students. Khan Academy does not provide a memorable and engaging experience. Everydae is the complete opposite and keeps the user very engaged. The best part is that students aren’t studying for tedious amounts of time, instead they do it once a day for their desired time period. This makes SAT prep a lot less tedious and much more memorable. Everydae’s convenience and effectiveness is why it shines brighter compared to other SAT prep programs and in-person tutors.
Connor Farrell
I love Everydae! Everydae keeps me motivated to do SAT prep every day! And it's fun too! The best SAT prep I have ever done!
Tochi Obi
really love the math challenges and the little quote of inspiration/motivation that comes with it. It is really nice and it helps me as a student. I also like that after I have answered a question, I see the workings, sometimes it isn't the same with mine but I got the answer so it allows me to study and learn your approach to the problem so am highly impressed and it makes me just want to keep going. Everydae is great, I can proudly say I would recommend this to other students interested in SAT.
Caroline Bradkin
Really helpful for studying for standardized testing. Would highly recommend!
SS Family
Everydae is educationally fun and helps for practicing for your SAT test. I love the extra credit questions because they help to not only think about your decisions in the future and know more about important people and colleges; they also help to not really focus much on the test, so most likely to relax until the next of questions. Overall, Everydae is fun, exciting, helpful, and educating.
Sofi
Everydae is pretty fun! I especially like how getting answers wrong isn't discouraging (I mean, I usually get discouraged pretty easily when it comes to math) and I feel much better prepared for the math section of the SAT.

It doesn't feel like you're studying, but you really are. In the end, the results show that you actually were studying!

Great explanations and super fun. It keeps me engaged because it makes everything easy to comprehend.
