SAT, ACT and CLT prep
One real story, from the founder
Yiming Beckmann built DuckyHelper. He is 14 and, in his words, a grade school dropout. He studied for the SAT with DuckyHelper and went from 1120 to 1600 in two weeks. He also got 117 of 120 on the CLT.
That is his story, not a promise. Your prep will look different. Ducky can quiz you, walk through each miss step by step, and show you what to review next.
Quizzes and flashcards
Ask Ducky to quiz you, and the practice shows up right in the pill:
- Quizzes with choices or typed answers, checked as you go.
- Flashcards that come back right when you need to see them again.
- Worked steps when you miss, so you see where it went wrong.
A typing coach at your caret
Learning to type, or writing in a new language? Ducky coaches you in the real text box, not a practice page.
Here is how it works:
- Grey ghost letters show what comes next, right at your caret;
- A wrong letter turns red, so you catch it right away; and
- Ducky talks you through it: “Oops, that’s an n. Delete that letter.”
Tutorials in
your own apps.
Ducky walks you through any app or website, step by step. It watches what you click and type, and moves on only when you really did the step.
Use it for:
- Setting up a new app for class
- Finding your way around a school website
- Learning a new tool one click at a time
- Or holding fn and cmd to point at anything and ask “what is this?”
