Need help?

We know preparing for the SAT® can feel overwhelming, and you might have a few questions along the way. Whether you're curious about how Sherpal works, what makes our approach different, or how to get started, our FAQ section is here to help.

How is Sherpal different from other prep tools?

Sherpal doesn’t just prepare you for the test. It prepares you for the journey. Unlike one-size-fits-all platforms, Sherpal uses a patent-pending Learning Persona Assessment to personalize your prep based on how you think, stay motivated, and handle stress. It combines AI-driven learning with mindset training and strategic skill-building, so you grow in scores, confidence, and lifelong habits.

What are Learning Personas and why do they matter?

Your Learning Persona is a personalized roadmap based on how you process information, regulate your emotions, and stay motivated during learning. Sherpal uses this persona to adapt your study plan, tone of feedback, and style of coaching. For example, a Tenacious Explorer is detail-oriented and observant but sometimes overthinks; they benefit from confidence-building drills and quick-recall exercises. A Driven Trailblazer is goal-focused and ambitious but may rush, they thrive with pacing strategies and structured checkpoints. By knowing who you are as a learner, Sherpal ensures your prep feels human, not robotic, and far more effective.
