For homeschooling families

One size fits ONE curriculum.

Make Ready gets your student genuinely ready for the exams that matter — state tests, the SAT and ACT, AP, or the GED. It meets each child at their real level in every subject, closes the gaps, and shows you they're ready before test day. No guesswork, no cramming.

Two gears, one goal: Study
See how a study session works
How it works

Turn study time into real exam readiness.

Instead of racing a syllabus, your student works toward the exact skills their exam will test — starting from where they actually are in each subject. Every round is a small cycle of learning and low-stakes checking, so readiness builds steadily and test day stops being scary.

1 Pick a skill to work on 2 Learn it with a tutor 3 Exam-style check 4 See what stuck Repeat toward the exam
Every 2 weeks Make Ready builds a plan from your student's recent work and their exam goal — you review, adjust, and approve it in a couple of minutes.

why does a raisin puff back up in water but a grape shrivels in salt water?

Great pair to compare — both are about water crossing into and out of the cell. Which way do you think water moves: toward the side with more water, or more dissolved stuff?

toward the side with more dissolved stuff?

Exactly. So in plain water the raisin's inside is saltier — water flows in and it plumps up. Now flip it: what's happening to the grape in salt water?

Osmosis: how water moves

Osmosis is water moving across the edge of a cell, from where there's more water toward where there's more dissolved stuff.

The water isn't "chasing" the salt — it just spreads out until both sides are balanced.

Three quick questions

Two ask her to explain in her own words.

A Into the cell
B Out of the cell
C Water doesn't move
In her words
Question 2
In one sentence, why does salt water make a grape shrink?
In her words
Question 3
A blood cell is dropped into pure water. What happens to it?

Bella just started Round 2 on tonicity. At the end of the two weeks, you review how she did and approve her next goals — anything she hasn't mastered simply carries over.

Built for the real test

Practice the way the exam actually feels.

Short, frequent checks all through the term mean far less pressure than one big cram — and when it counts, a full exam-style run in real test conditions.

● Study time

Learn it, one piece at a time.

A patient tutor works through each skill with your student — explaining, asking questions, and pointing them to safe, ad-free reading. The goal is real understanding, not memorized answers, so it holds up on the exam and beyond.

● Exam practice

A real test-day run.

Timed, in the exam's own format, with the tutor switched off — so the actual test feels familiar instead of frightening. Multiple-choice marks instantly; written answers come to you to review.

Frequent low-stakes practice is one of the best-known cures for test anxiety — your student meets the exam's format dozens of times before it ever counts.

Your view as the parent

Know exactly where each child stands.

Open Make Ready and see each student's readiness for their next exam — what's solid, what still needs work, and what's waiting for you to look over. Expand any topic — like Marcus's Algebra II below — to see the exact skills behind the number, so you know precisely what to practice next.

Why homeschooling families trust it

Ready for the exam — and you'll know it.

Their own level, every subject

Meets each child exactly where they are — 8th-grade math and 6th-grade writing is perfectly fine — and closes the gaps a one-size syllabus skips right over.

A tutor for subjects you don't teach

The study helper knows the material, so you don't have to be the expert. It teaches; you stay the coach who keeps an eye on the whole picture.

Know they're really ready

Progress is measured from real work, not a hopeful guess — so you get an honest, evidence-backed answer to "is my kid ready to pass?"

Less cramming, less anxiety

Short, frequent checks in the exam's own format make test day feel familiar. Missed a question? It becomes the next thing to practice, not a reason to panic.

Records ready when you need them

Every result is logged as evidence you can export — for a high-school transcript, a college application, or your state's testing paperwork.

Safe and distraction-free

No open internet to wander into. Your student reads from a clean, checked library and stays on the lesson — and everything they see is there for you to review.

Distraction-free

Study time stays study time.

It's hard for a teen to stay focused with games and group chats one tab away. Make Ready can lock the device to just the lesson while your student works — then hand it right back when they're done.

Family PC

One-lesson mode

Turns the home computer into a focused study station for the session — full-screen, no way to slip over to other apps — then back to normal afterward.

Any device

Chromebook & tablet

Works on the Chromebooks and tablets most families already have, so you don't need to buy anything special to get started.

No IT team needed

Simple setup

A short guide walks you through it in a few minutes — with the safe reading library as the only way onto the web.

Get your student ready to pass — and know it.

Make Ready turns everyday study into steady, provable progress toward the exams that matter — while you stay the coach who sees the whole picture.
