How many hours should you study for the SAT or ACT?

The honest answer depends on three things: where you are now, where you want to be, and how many weeks are left. A 60-point lift is a very different project from a 300-point one, and generic advice like 'ten hours a week' is useless without those numbers in front of you.

abbySAT does the arithmetic. It starts from a real measured score — an official SAT or ACT, a PSAT or a Bluebook practice test — and never from app accuracy. It counts the hours you have actually logged, weighs how independently you were working during them, and then tells you the hours still standing between you and your target, plus the hours per week that pace requires with the weeks you have left.

It also shows the assumptions, because a study plan you cannot argue with is a study plan you cannot trust. This is a planning estimate, not a promise about test day.

• ▸Hours remaining and hours per week, recalculated as you work
• ▸Assumptions shown, so you can disagree with the plan
