Key points
- •Formal prerequisites: Michigan public school students in grades 3 through 11 preparing for the M-STEP assessment and the College Board PSAT/SAT School Day suite.
- •Take the free practice test cold as your honest baseline.
- •Fix gaps as the curriculum surfaces them; avoid over-preparing.

1. What the course formally requires
The stated prerequisites for the Erudex track are: Michigan public school students in grades 3 through 11 preparing for the M-STEP assessment and the College Board PSAT/SAT School Day suite. Treat these as honest but minimal: they describe what is needed to start, not to finish comfortably.
If any of those feel uncertain, spend your first study sessions on the early modules — they are written to rebuild exactly that ground.
2. Skills worth reviewing before day one
For this subject, the habits that pay off most are: study one standard, work through guided examples, then answer mixed practice questions that combine standards the way state tests do. None of these are course-specific; they are how you make study time convert into ability.
Practically: make sure you can read and write comfortably in the course's working language, you have a reliable internet connection for the tutor videos, and you know how you will take notes so lessons produce something you can revise.
3. A quick diagnostic before you start
Take the free practice test for Michigan M-STEP & PSAT/SAT School Day Prep before touching the first lesson. It is a fixed set of 10 questions, and a cold result is the most honest picture of your starting point you will ever get.
Do not study for it first — the value is in the diagnostic, not the score.
4. Filling gaps without stalling
The commonest mistake is over-preparing: months of "getting ready" with no progress through the course. Fix specific gaps as the curriculum surfaces them, using the lesson quizzes to tell you which gaps are real.
If a module repeatedly refuses to make sense, step back to the module before it — the curriculum is sequenced to be self-supporting.
