Academic Governance • Scope

Scope, Educational Purpose & Personal Identification

Welcome to AiTestPrep ACT. We provide rigorous collegiate-level American College Testing preparation software designed to elevate composite scores to the 32+ threshold. To deliver personalized pacing, adaptive diagnostics, and targeted question sets, we collect specific candidate information solely for authentic educational enhancement.

1.1 Identity Records

Candidate Profile Attributes

Full legal name, high school graduation year, verified email address, target ACT composite score (1–36), and registered exam test dates used to schedule diagnostic study plans.

1.2 Access Validation

Secure Credentials

Hashed authentication credentials, IP geolocations for multi-factor login verification, device identifiers, and browser user-agent tokens preventing credential sharing.

1.3 Minor Protections

COPPA & FERPA Oversight

For scholars under 18, parental or legal guardian consent is integrated into enrollment. We strictly comply with FERPA standards regarding student educational records.

Key Takeaway for ACT Candidates

Your personal identity is strictly segregated from external data brokers. We never sell, rent, or monetize your educational profile for non-academic commercial advertising.

Exam Pacing • Telemetry Engine

ACT Sectional Telemetry & Timing Analytics

Mastering the ACT requires strict adherence to sectional pacing. Our proprietary testing engine captures millisecond-precision telemetry during diagnostic drills and full-length timed simulations to detect cognitive fatigue, hesitation bottlenecks, and sectional timing anomalies.

2.1 Per-Item Latency

Sectional Timing Budgets

Active measurement against official benchmark paces: English (36 sec/item), Math (60 sec/item), Reading (52.5 sec/item), and Science (52.5 sec/item) to prevent end-of-section time crunches.

2.2 Hesitation Dynamics

Elimination & Revision Logs

Tracking answer cross-out strikes, toggle frequencies, and answer flips between choices. This telemetry pinpoints self-doubt in Science conflicting viewpoints and Reading inference passages.

2.3 Stamina Telemetry

Cognitive Fatigue Modeling

Performance degradation modeling across the 175-minute continuous test window to prepare candidates for the mental endurance needed on official national test dates.

Key Takeaway for ACT Candidates

Telemetry data is utilized exclusively to calculate your personalized pacing heatmaps and diagnostic reports. It is never transmitted to colleges, scholarship foundations, or proctoring agencies.

Scoring Science • 1–36 Scaling

Composite Score (1–36) Modeling & Prediction Algorithms

The ACT Composite score is the unweighted average of four test sections: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science, each reported on a 1–36 scale. Our scoring engine utilizes psychometric concordance curves and historical equating tables to provide high-fidelity score projections.

3.1 Raw-to-Scaled Equating

Psychometric Curves

Conversion of raw question counts (e.g. 75 English, 60 Math) into equated 1–36 scores using authentic scaling models reflecting test form difficulty variances.

3.2 Superscore Aggregation

Optimal Sectional Blending

Automatic calculation of your projected official ACT Superscore across mock exam attempts, calculating highest subscores across all attempts with complete data isolation.

3.3 Target Variance

Confidence Intervals

Statistical confidence margins (±1 point) calculating true potential variance based on topic mastery in Math plane geometry, grammar conventions, and science data graphs.

analytics

Key Takeaway for ACT Candidates

Composite score simulations are encrypted and visible only inside your authenticated portal dashboard. We do not report mock scores to high schools or collegiate admissions offices.

Diagnostic Work • Writing Rubrics

Diagnostic Submissions, Writing Rubrics & Scratchpad Data

In addition to multiple-choice answers, candidates generate rich academic artifacts while using our platform, including optional ACT Writing essays, interactive Math scratchpad diagrams, and graphing calculator drill logs.

4.1 Automated Essay Scoring

ACT 4-Domain Rubric

Essay drafts evaluated across: Ideas & Analysis, Development & Support, Organization, and Language Use (2–12 scale). Raw text is analyzed via encrypted NLP models without external retention.

4.2 Scratchpad & Graphing

Mathematical Drill Logs

Vector scratchpad inputs, polynomial equation entries, and formula sheet lookups are processed transiently to identify conceptual gaps in intermediate algebra and trigonometry.

4.3 Science Apparatus Logs

Data Representation Data

Interaction trails across experimental setups, multi-variable trend charts, and conflicting hypothesis tables to diagnose scientific reasoning bottlenecks.

Key Takeaway for ACT Candidates

Your submitted essays and problem-solving scratchpad annotations remain your intellectual property. They are archived securely in your student vault and never used for public AI model training.

Infrastructure • Vetted Vendors

Data Sharing, Third-Party Processors & Cloud Security

To operate our real-time simulated testing environment, we partner exclusively with enterprise infrastructure providers bound by strict data processing addendums (DPAs) and institutional confidentiality covenants.

5.1 Hosting & Encryption

SOC-2 Type II Infrastructure

All application servers and relational databases reside in SOC-2 Type II certified cloud data centers with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 protocol standards for data in transit.

5.2 Financial Tokenization

PCI-DSS Level 1 Gateways

Subscription payments are processed directly through PCI-DSS certified processors (Stripe / Razorpay). AiTestPrep ACT never stores, logs, or views full credit card numbers or banking secrets.

5.3 Authorized Mentorship

Consented Advisory Access

Diagnostic reports are made available to designated high school guidance counselors or accredited ACT tutors strictly upon explicit, revocable student authorization.

Key Takeaway for ACT Candidates

We maintain zero commercial relationships with predatory college recruitment marketing lists or secondary consumer data brokers. Your academic profile stays protected.

Candidate Rights • Portability

Candidate Sovereignty, Portability & Account Deletion

Regardless of your geographic location, we extend comprehensive data sovereignty rights to every enrolled ACT candidate, in accordance with GDPR, CCPA, and collegiate academic records standards.

6.1 Data Portability

Diagnostic History Export

Request a machine-readable JSON or CSV export containing your full sectional question history, timing latencies, and Composite score trajectories within 7 business days.

6.2 Complete Erasure

Right to Be Forgotten

Permanently purge your account, mock exam responses, diagnostic graphs, and identity records from our production servers by emailing our data protection officer.

6.3 Retention Limits

Automated Archival

Student diagnostic records are automatically anonymized or deleted 24 months following the candidate’s stated high school graduation date to prevent data obsolescence.
