Difficulty Selector

Acely's difficulty selector feature is designed to help you study smarter, not harder, for your big test days.

Updated over 2 months ago

🚀 Level Up Your SAT Prep

For the entire SAT section, you can totally customize your practice! Dive into Easy, Medium, or Hard questions to find your sweet spot and build confidence.

  • Digital SAT Insight: The digital SAT is adaptive. Nailing that first module determines your second one. Crushing those "Hard" questions is key to scoring big and unlocking a top-tier score! With our selector, you can focus on mastering those tricky questions in specific domains like Algebra or Linear Equations.


🎯 ACT Math Practice

If you're tackling the ACT, the difficulty selector is ready to assist with the Math section! Tailor your session to focus on specific weaknesses, starting easy and working your way up to tough challenges.


A Note on Other ACT Sections

You might notice the selector isn't available for ACT English, Reading, or Science sections. Here's the scoop:

These sections use passages with a natural mix of difficulties built right in. The test is designed for you to read one passage and then answer several related questions.

Adding a difficulty filter would mean you'd have to read a brand-new passage for nearly every single question you chose. That would totally disrupt your flow, make studying super inefficient, and pile on extra reading time—which is the last thing we want! We want your practice to mimic the real testing experience as closely as possible.


How to Use the Selector

When you're ready to practice, the power is in your hands!

  • Choose Your Focus: Pick a difficulty level (Easy, Medium, or Hard) for an entire section, a specific domain, or even a subdomain (like Linear Equations in 1 Variable).

  • Tailor Your Session:

    • Start simple with Easy or Medium questions to build a strong foundation.

    • Work your way up to Hard questions when you're feeling confident.

    • Mix it up with a random assortment for a little challenge and variety!

We hope this feature helps you feel empowered and ready to rock your test!
