For parents
Built for students. Accountable to parents.
Exactly what AceMyStates does, how your child's information is handled, and what's free versus paid — in plain language.
How it works
- Adaptive practice — questions adjust to your child's level as they answer, for the SHSAT (grades 7–8) or NY State Tests (grades 3–8), matched to their grade.
- Real exam format — full-length practice exams mirror the actual computer-based tests: same sections, timing, tools (highlighter, answer eliminator), and question counts.
- Learning games — every game in the Doodle Arcade runs on real test-style questions. The fun is the sugar; the questions are the medicine.
- Feedback that teaches — every wrong answer shows a worked explanation, and the "Needs Practicing" panel tracks weak topics automatically.
The weekly parent email
Add your email at sign-up (or later) and every week you'll get a short summary — no login needed. The real email uses your child's name and their actual numbers; below is just an example:

Safety & privacy
- No passwords stored — kids sign in with a one-time code sent to email, so there's no password to leak or forget.
- No ads, ever — we sell a study tool, not your child's attention.
- Minimal data — name, email, grade, and practice results. We never sell data. See the full Terms & Privacy Policy inside the app.
- Children's privacy — designed for COPPA compliance; students under 13 need a parent's email at sign-up.
- Cancel anytime — subscriptions are managed through Stripe; cancel in two clicks and keep access until the period ends.

Quick answers
- Is this a replacement for a tutor?
- It's daily reps with instant feedback — the thing tutors assign between sessions. Many families use both.
- How accurate is the predicted score?
- It's an estimate from recent practice accuracy, clearly labeled as such — useful for tracking direction, not an official score.
- My child is in grade 4 — is SHSAT content hidden?
- Questions are matched to grade and test track. A grade-4 student on the State track sees grade-4 State material.
- Questions or concerns?
- Email acemystates@gmail.com — a human reads it.
