Getting personalized exam prep guidance without taking a full $2K test prep course

Students preparing for SAT, GRE, GMAT, or certification exams need targeted help on weak areas (e.g., data interpretation or essay writing) but cannot afford $1500-2500 full-service prep courses. They resort to generic YouTube videos and question banks that lack diagnostic feedback on why they're struggling, leaving them unable to identify and fix root cause knowledge gaps.
