A student who reads with a screen reader, navigates by keyboard, or magnifies the page to 200% is preparing for the same test as everybody else. This page records where PrepGenix actually stands on that, including the parts that are still broken.
What this statement covers
Everything served from prepgenix.com: the homepage, the free SAT guides at /blog/, the six topic hubs, the score calculator, the free practice test page, the about page, and the student portal at /portal/.
Two parts of the site are not ours to fix. Booking a session opens a Calendly widget, and the student video reviews on the homepage are YouTube embeds. Both appear in the list of known problems below, because you still hit them here even though the code behind them belongs to someone else.
Conformance status
The target is WCAG 2.2 Level AA. PrepGenix is partially conformant, meaning most of the standard is met and the exceptions are named individually rather than waved at.
A full-conformance claim would mean every page had been checked against all 56 Level A and AA success criteria, including testing with real assistive technology. That has not happened here, so the claim is not made. Five known failures are listed below, each with the criterion it breaks.
What already works
- A skip link on every page. The first thing the Tab key reaches is a "Skip to content" link that jumps the header entirely and lands on the main content.
- A focus indicator you can see. Every focusable control draws a 2px ring. It clears the 3:1 that WCAG asks for on the light pages and on the dark panels the site drops onto them, in both themes.
- Structure a screen reader can use. Every page declares
lang="en", carries exactly oneh1, keeps its headings in order, and marks its navigation, main content and footer as real landmarks rather than styled divs. - Described diagrams. All 22 images on the site carry alt text, and for the charts and diagrams in the guides that alt states the finding rather than the filename. Each ships as a separate SVG file, so it stays sharp at any zoom level.
- Labeled controls. Icon-only buttons (theme toggle, mobile menu, carousel arrows) carry an
aria-label. The score calculator's four sliders have visible labels, and the Score Vault email field has both a label and anautocompletehint. - Real data tables. The 129 comparison tables across the guides use genuine
thheader cells, not bolded body cells pretending to be headers. - Announced form results. The Score Vault sign-up reports success and failure through a polite live region, so the outcome is spoken and not only shown.
- Light and dark themes. The site follows your operating system's
prefers-color-schemeon a first visit and remembers a manual override afterwards. - Reduced motion on the homepage. Scroll-reveal animations are dropped entirely for anyone who has set
prefers-reduced-motion: reduce. - No surprise media. Nothing autoplays. A student video review loads only after you activate its card.
- Readable without JavaScript. The guides are static HTML. Scripts add the theme toggle and the copyright year, nothing that gates the text.
- Relative sizing. Type and spacing use relative units and the layout reflows to a single column, so browser zoom and text-only scaling both work.
Known problems
Accurate as of 22 August 2026. "Fixing" means the work is scheduled, not that it is done.
| Problem | Criterion | Status |
|---|---|---|
| The student video reviews are YouTube embeds relying on YouTube's automatic captions. Nobody has reviewed those captions for accuracy. | 1.2.2 Captions (A) | Open |
| Booking a session opens an embedded Calendly widget whose keyboard and screen-reader behavior is Calendly's, not ours. Email reaches the same outcome. | Third-party content | Workaround |
Most tables carry no caption, and only a handful of header cells declare scope. Two-column tables still read correctly; the wide comparison tables are harder to follow cell by cell. |
1.3.1 Info and Relationships (A) | Open |
| A complex chart gets one sentence of alt text. Its underlying numbers are usually restated in the surrounding paragraphs, but that is a convention, not a guarantee. | 1.1.1 Non-text Content (A) | Open |
| The guides do not yet carry the reduced-motion rule the homepage has, so card hover transitions still run. This is a Level AAA criterion, beyond the AA target, and is listed for completeness. | 2.3.3 Animation from Interactions (AAA) | Open |
How this was assessed
By self-evaluation. On 22 August 2026 the markup and stylesheets of all 84 pages on the site were reviewed against the WCAG 2.2 AA criteria that a source review can actually settle: language attributes, heading order, landmark structure, alt text, form labeling, table semantics, focus handling and motion preferences.
Two things a source review cannot settle have therefore not been done: testing with real assistive technology, and an independent audit by an accessibility specialist. Anything on this page that reads as a claim about screen-reader behavior is an inference from the markup rather than an observation of a session. If you use one and it behaves differently, your report beats our inference.
Browser and assistive technology support
The site targets current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on desktop and mobile, with the screen reader built into the operating system. It is written in plain HTML and CSS rather than a UI framework, so older browsers degrade to readable text instead of breaking.
JavaScript is required for the score calculator, the practice portal and the theme toggle. It is not required to read any guide.
Tell us what is broken
If something here blocks you, reporting it is the fastest route to a fix. One person reads that inbox, and he wrote the CSS.
- Email: tutoring@prepgenix.com
- Useful to include: the page address, what you were trying to do, and the browser plus assistive technology you were using. Any one of those helps. All three usually make it reproducible in minutes.
- Response time: we aim to reply within five working days.
If a page is unusable and the fix will take longer than that, ask and we will send the same material as plain text or large print in the meantime. Coaching is one to one, so if a portal feature blocks you, we will work around it in session rather than leave you waiting on a release.
Keeping this page honest
This statement is reviewed whenever the shared templates or stylesheets change, and at minimum every six months. The next scheduled review is 22 February 2027. When an item in the table above is fixed it comes out of the table rather than getting quietly re-worded, and the published date at the top moves.
