Sprint report & repair week

After 4 weeks, your sprint report shows mastery change per skill, mock vs. topic test performance, and which patterns need repair. Week 4 is automatically a repair week — focused drills on what the mock exposed.

Sprint report includes

Common questions
How long does it take to see results?

Most students see measurable mastery improvement within the first 2 weeks. Score improvement on a real test typically shows after 4–8 weeks of consistent study. Results depend on starting point, target, and daily consistency.

What if I miss days?

Life happens. SatSpike has a backlog system — if you miss more than a couple of days, it collapses the backlog and creates a streamlined 3-day catch-up plan instead of burying you in old tasks. Streak freezes give you planned buffer days.

Can I adjust my plan mid-sprint?

Yes. You can rescale your intensity, update your exam date, or change your target score at any time. The sprint system adapts to your new parameters for the next cycle.

Does it work if my exam is less than 4 weeks away?

Yes. For shorter timelines, SatSpike runs an accelerated plan focused on your highest-impact skills and skips the repair week — every day counts toward your top priorities.

Your exam date is closer than it feels.

Students who start 8+ weeks out score an average of 187 points higher than last-minute studiers. The second best time to start is right now.
