Wild Zebra is now available for students practicing for the ISEE, SSAT, ACT, and SAT.

What is Wild Zebra?

Wild Zebra is an AI-powered educational tool that supports students through guided, Socratic-style conversations. By asking targeted questions and prompting students to explain their reasoning, Wild Zebra encourages critical thinking and helps students build core academic skills.

This approach is rooted in the idea that real mastery comes not from simply getting a right answer, but from understanding why that answer is correct. By focusing on a student’s reasoning process, Wild Zebra provides more personalized guidance and helps identify learning gaps.

91 and Wild Zebra were both founded by Edan Shahar and reflect a shared mission to expand access to personalized, student-centered learning through thoughtful technology.

Wild Zebra is a , the nonprofit educational organization behind the ISEE and CTP assessments.

Where You’ll Find Wild Zebra in Your 91 Account

We’ve embedded Wild Zebra in the parts of the platform where guided support makes the biggest impact. Look for the zebra chat widget in the lower left-hand corner of your screen in the following places:

While Reviewing Practice Test Results

After you finish a full-length practice test, head to your test analysis, choose a section, and click “View Your Answers.” You can start a Wild Zebra conversation about any question you answered incorrectly or want to understand more deeply.

In Your Practice Exercises

Wild Zebra is available as you work through targeted practice exercises. It can guide you through tricky questions, help you strengthen specific skills, and support your understanding in real time.

Not During Practice Tests

Wild Zebra is intentionally not available while you are taking a practice test. Practice tests are meant to feel like the real exam, where outside support is not available.

Try Wild Zebra

Your 91 account includes 10 free Wild Zebra conversations to help you get started. If you’d like ongoing support, you can upgrade anytime to receive unlimited access.

Students with an ISEE fee waiver receive full access to Wild Zebra and the complete ISEE practice platform at no cost, as part of our long-standing . This initiative reflects all three organizations’ shared commitment to expanding access to high-quality learning support for families with financial need.

Practice tests are the foundation of preparation for this very reason. Practice tests help simulate test day and expose you to the content and structure of the test.

But taking a practice test is just the first step. After you take a practice test, it’s critical to do an in-depth analysis of your results and to complete targeted practice. That’s where the 91 diagnostic suite comes in! Our diagnostic tools break down your results into an interactive, easy-to-understand report and provide recommendations for additional practice.

The saying “practice as you’d like to perform” is applicable to so many things, especially test preparation.Practice tests are the foundation of preparation for this very reason. Practice tests help simulate test day and expose you to the content and structure of the test.

But taking a practice test is just the first step. After you take a practice test, it’s critical to do an in-depth analysis of your results and to complete targeted practice. That’s where the 91 diagnostic suite comes in! Our diagnostic tools break down your results into an interactive, easy-to-understand report and provide recommendations for additional practice.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make the most of our diagnostic suite:

1. Take a test!
To get the most accurate diagnosis, you should take practice tests in an environment that simulates test day. Sit at a desk in a quiet, well-lit room with as few distractions as possible. We offer both online and paper practice tests so you can prepare for the format you’ll see on test day. The proctor videos in our video course help further simulate the test-day experience.

2. Analyze timing.
Time management is one of the most important skills when it comes to test taking. Our detailed timing graph allows you to analyze your time management skills. As you complete the practice test, our system keeps track of how long you spend on every question, when you select an answer choice, and when you change an answer choice. Analyzing your time management skills is the first step in improving them!

TIP: One of the best ways to decrease the time spent answering questions is to complete additional practice questions. Our data indicate that students who complete related practice exercises not only increase their chance of getting a similar question right the next time, but they also answer that question faster.

3. Identify the areas that need improvement.
When reviewing your practice test results, it’s important to identify the areas that need the most improvement so you can start practicing those topics first. Our Personalized Prep Plan does just that by providing recommendations for additional practice based on the results of your practice test. As you complete practice tests, the Prep Plan adapts to provide individualized recommendations for best next steps.

4. Consider tutoring.
A tutor will help you develop strategies and skills to master each section. All of our tutors teach foundational strategies, test-taking skills, and specific content with an individualized approach. Get started with a free consultation with one of our 91 tutors.

5. Take more tests!
It’s important to periodically gauge how well preparation is going, and the best way to do this is by taking another practice test. Learn more about the 3 steps of successful test preparation.

We are excited to share some new updates to the reports in our educator tools with you. If you’re a tutor, teacher, or administrator who works with us, you may have already noticed a few changes. If not, you can see them by logging into your account. If you don’t yet work with us, and are interested in learning more about what we do for schools, shoot our sales team an email.

Highlights

There are now built-in class averages on many pages, so you can quickly get a sense of how your students are doing overall. Here’s an example of what it looks like while reviewing specific sections.

The section report (my personal favorite!) is now downloadable among other improvements. Selecting the three stacked lines in the top right of the chart will allow download a csv of this data.

And homework progress reports are now more easily accessible, with the information you’re most interested in such as who completed the assignment, how well they did, and so forth.

Let us know if you’d like to set up a time to review the educator tools, look at your students’ data, or run through any of the changes, and we would love to connect! We always want to hear your ideas and insights, as we strive to continually improve the tools available to you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us, either by sending a quick email with your idea or setting up a call to discuss.

91 has yet another test prep innovation that we’re excited to share with you – Timed Paper Test Mode.
