EdisonOS

What EdisonOS is

EdisonOS is an assessment and test prep platform sold to organizations that prepare students for high-stakes US admissions exams: tutoring companies, learning centers, schools, school districts and community-based organizations. The home page calls it "the assessment platform for high-stakes exam prep" and says the product is sold only to organizations, not students, so it never competes with the tutors who use it. A student meets EdisonOS through a tutor or a school, usually under that organization's own brand.

The platform covers the Digital SAT, the Enhanced ACT, the PSAT, the SHSAT and AP exams, and the site lists the ISEE, SSAT, HSPT and state end-of-course tests as on the roadmap. Its pitch rests on three things: mock tests that reproduce the real exam screen, a question library written by test prep specialists, and reports that try to explain why a student missed a question rather than only scoring it. The copyright line on the site names Kalvi Software, Inc.

Building and assigning tests

Tutors and schools can build full-length tests, section tests and targeted problem sets, either from their own question bank or from the EdisonOS library, and they can edit the library's content rather than only reusing it. Scoring and timing are set per assessment, and a test can go to one student or to a whole cohort. For organizations sitting on years of worksheets, an AI question extractor converts PDFs or images of questions they already own into digital items and tags them, ready to assign.

The library itself is written by people. The home page counts 8,000+ expert-crafted questions authored against official SAT and ACT blueprints, with distractor analysis and an explanation on every answer choice, so a student learns why each wrong option is wrong. The SAT program lists 15 full-length adaptive mocks and 5,000+ questions, the ACT program 10 full-length mocks plus targeted problem sets, and AP support covers 5 subjects with AP-aligned 1 to 5 scoring. The PSAT gets full-length mocks built from SAT-aligned questions, and the SHSAT gets ELA and math question banks with timed practice tests and detailed reports. The company says the content is recalibrated as exams change, naming the Digital SAT and the Enhanced ACT.

A comparison post on the company's blog adds that SAT and ACT mocks can be authored with adaptive rule engines that mirror the official interface, timing and two-module structure.

What students see on test day

Assign an SAT and the student gets a Bluebook-style screen; assign an ACT and the screen is TestNav-style, and the PSAT runs TestNav-style too. The testing tools are built in: the Desmos calculator, an answer eliminator and the reference sheet. SHSAT tests support technology-enhanced items. The home page also describes a secure, proctored environment so the results reflect honest attempts. The idea, in the company's words, is that test-day anxiety is "gone before test day arrives", because the screen is already familiar.

After a test, students can retake it in review mode without the clock and think through each choice again. Parents and students get their own view of progress, separate from the tutor's.

Diagnostics and dashboards

The reporting is the part EdisonOS leans on hardest. The site says it reads every test "like telemetry": time per question, speed against accuracy, question difficulty, skill and sub-skill gaps, and answer-change tracking that separates confusion from carelessness and nerves. The aim is to tell a tutor whether a low score is a speed, accuracy or anxiety problem, so the next session goes after the cause. The blog post says section-wise and question-level analytics are generated automatically after every mock.

Each role gets its own dashboard. Teachers and tutors see each student's gaps and what to teach next; principals, admins and networks see a school, a center or a whole region in one view; and leadership can roll results up across every school, region and program, up to a national office. The home page lays out the intended cycle in five steps: benchmark with a diagnostic, build a prep plan around a target score, test date and hours, practice with problem sets and re-test every couple of weeks, refine the plan from each report, and track progress with monthly reviews for parents, boards and funders.

Branding, courses and selling

White-labeling is central to the offer: students see the tutoring company's brand, not EdisonOS. The blog post lists white-label mobile apps, custom domains and institute-level course builders, plus discussion forums, group chats, community features and live-class scheduling inside the same system. The same post says organizations can sell courses directly through built-in eCommerce tools, custom websites and payment infrastructure without third-party integrations, so a tutoring business can run testing, courses and sales from one account. For schools, the site names Clever SSO and real-time dashboards, and says the platform is built for private, public and charter schools and for school districts.

Plans and pricing

The home page says buyers can pick credits, licenses or both, and that every student's first test is free, whichever test it is. The sales team offers to help an academy find the right plan and estimate its costs, and the site offers a free trial and a demo.

The company's blog post gives the most detailed figures: a Starter plan at $999 for 90 days plus a $549 one-time setup fee, including 100 test attempts, access to 5,900+ questions, support for 2 admins and no per-student license fee, which the post describes as effectively unlimited students. Additional usage, it says, typically means buying more attempt credits or upgrading the plan. The FAQ further down the same post gives a lower starting figure for organizational subscriptions, $199 per 90 days.

The blog also points institutions to free Digital SAT practice tests as a starting point, and the site's resources include a free adaptive DSAT mock and a free Enhanced ACT mock that a tutor can try before signing up.

Customers and support

The site says 100+ tutoring companies, learning centers and schools run their test prep on EdisonOS, and counts 200,000+ tests administered across 10+ high-stakes tests. Testimonials on the home page come from Krupnick Approach, GradePower Learning, OliveBook, Prep Expert, Legrand Prep, Kyo Standard, My2tor and Summit Prep. Tina Wiles of My2tor writes that EdisonOS "mirrors Bluebook, boosting SAT scores by 200 points with excellent tracking, flexibility, and support", and Michael Ermann of OliveBook praises the team's responsiveness. Support resources include a help center and a knowledge base with FAQs, how-to guides and tutorials, a changelog, a status page, a podcast for tutors and a monthly newsletter, and buyers can contact sales or book a demo.

Who it suits

EdisonOS fits tutoring companies and test prep academies that want their own branded Digital SAT and ACT program, multi-branch operators that need one view across centers, and schools or districts preparing students for the SAT, PSAT or AP exams with Clever sign-in. Solo tutors are named as a target too, and the first-test-free model lets a tutor try it with real students before committing. The pricing in the blog post, a setup fee on top of a 90-day plan, is built for organizations, so a tutor with one or two students will want to weigh it against their volume. Individual students cannot buy it; they reach it through a tutor or a school. Tests outside the current set, such as the ISEE or SSAT, are still on the roadmap rather than in the product.
