Parent FAQ

What families should know about the printed book, the online Studio and student progress.

What is included?

The book contains a strategy tutorial, a 600-question bank, and ten full-length 50-question math-section tests. The website adds Adaptive Learning, technology-enhanced question examples, Hint Coach, Mistake Map, progress tracking and online tests.

Is sign-in required?

The free 50-question diagnostic works without signing in. Saving long-term progress and unlocking protected practice require a student account approved by a parent or guardian.

How do book owners get online access?

Send the Amazon order number from the Access page. Each order number is checked by hand before access unlocks. See Book access help for details.

Is there an option without the book?

Yes. Students can choose a one-time online plan. Prices and access periods are shown on the Access page before checkout, and plans do not renew automatically.

How does Adaptive Learning work?

Adaptive Learning uses recent answers to choose follow-up questions and opens a simpler bridge problem after a missed answer. It is separate from the screen-based question types, such as drag-and-drop, hot spot, graphing and inline choice.

Does the book contain technology-enhanced questions?

Printed pages use multiple-choice and fill-in questions. Drag, select, sort and tool examples appear on the website because those interactions cannot work on paper.
