Our story: building the future of test prep
We're more than test prep. Born from Finnish research, we pioneer a science-based approach that transforms how students learn and succeed.
How it all started
We started as a small but determined team in Finland, challenging major educational publishers who had long controlled the high school market. Starting with a tiny marketing budget, a handful of hardworking people, and no institutional backing, we focused on one thing: building a better learning experience.
The results speak for themselves. We saw a meteoric rise, becoming the go-to choice for medical school entrance exam prep, with 67% of all successful applicants relying on our courses in 2024.
Perhaps even more impressive, 50% of all high school students in Finland preparing for their math finals choose us — most buying our courses themselves despite their school offering another product for free.
Exceptional results drove exponential growth that lead our company to grow to be a market leader in entrance exam preparation and to claim our spot as one of the big players in the Finnish educational publishing industry.

Having many options for SAT® math practice was stressful as I didn't know which one would lead me toward success. I chose Happi at the beginning of my SAT® journey, which turned out to be an excellent decision.

Now, we're taking on an even bigger challenge — the global SAT® prep market. But here's our secret: more isn't what students need — better is.
Science-based approach
We don't just create SAT® content. We build science-based, student-tested learning experiences using the methods we pioneered in Finland
