About

40 years of test prep, rebuilt for the Digital SAT.

Reading Town has been preparing students for standardized tests since 1986. IPE is the imprint we built to bring that work to a wider audience — published curriculum, online practice, and detailed analysis.

What we believe

Diagnose first.

A practice question only matters if it's the right question for you, today. Most students drill what they're already good at because it feels productive. Our diagnostic-first approach forces the harder conversation: where are you actually losing points, and why?

Explanations should explain.

"The answer is C because that's how it's done" is not an explanation. Every wrong answer in our system is paired with a specific account of why that wrong choice was tempting, in plain English. If you don't know why you got fooled, you'll get fooled again.

Print still matters.

Most NA students still study from paper — alone or with a tutor — even when the test itself is digital. We give you a workbook PDF you can actually print, mark up, and bring to a session. The screen is for diagnosis. The page is for practice.
