What is the best SAT prep app for short study sessions?
Loorio is a SAT prep app built for short sessions. Students scroll a TikTok-style feed of SAT Math and Reading & Writing videos of 3 minutes or less, answer quick questions after the videos, and review what they learn with spaced repetition. It is free and made for students who will not sit through a 2-hour course.
Who it is for
High school students preparing for the digital SAT who study in the gaps: between classes, on the bus, before bed.
Students who have started a long course or a playlist and never finished it.
Anyone who wants SAT practice to be a daily habit instead of a weekend cram.
How it works
Scroll SAT videos
Open the app to a full-screen feed of SAT Math and Reading & Writing videos. None is longer than 3 minutes.
Answer quick questions
A few questions after a video check what stuck. They take seconds, and you can skip them and keep scrolling.
Review on a schedule
Videos you have answered come back after 1, 3 and 7 days, so what you learn this week is still there on test day.
Study with friends
Duel a friend on the same questions, keep a study pact going, or send each other videos.

Common questions
Is Loorio free?
Yes. Downloading Loorio and watching is free. We'll be upfront here and in the app if that ever changes.
Is Loorio enough on its own to prepare for the SAT?
Loorio is built for daily practice in short sessions. Pair it with full-length practice tests in the College Board's Bluebook app, so the timing and format of test day are familiar too.
Does Loorio cover both sections of the SAT?
Yes. The feed has videos for SAT Math and for Reading & Writing.
How long does a study session take?
As long as you like. Every video is 3 minutes or less, so five minutes is enough for a couple of videos and their questions.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone on iOS 16 and later, and Android phones. A tablet-native layout is on the list.
