Packages of 10 or 20 sessions
Test prep is usually sold in packages. When a family pays for one, tap “Add Funds” on the student and enter the whole amount. Each session is paid automatically as it happens, and the student card shows how much of the package is left.
When the last prepaid session has been used, the next one appears as owed, and the student moves into the owed section at the top of your list — a natural moment to talk about the next package.
Ramping up before test day
A student might come weekly from January and twice a week in the month before a March or May SAT. Add a second weekday to the series, each with its own time, and add single sessions for reviewing a full practice test. Sessions of 90 or 120 minutes are presets; any other length goes in “Other”.
After the test, end the series. If the student decides to retake in the fall, return them from the archive and choose which of their old days are still free.

Friends preparing for the same ACT date can work as a group lesson, each with their own price. Payments and missed sessions are tracked per student, one reminder arrives before the group, and the whole group moves to another day in one step if a practice test runs over.
Attendance, not scores
Squool doesn't track practice test scores; write them in the student's note if you like. What it does track is attendance: each student's month calendar shows sessions taught, missed and cancelled, with earned, due and lost amounts. When a parent asks why the score hasn't moved, you'll know whether the sessions actually happened.
Peak season and quiet months
Test prep income is lumpy: busy in spring and early fall, quiet in midsummer. The month ring shows earned, due, upcoming and lost income, so cancellations during sports season don't vanish from view.
Squool runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac, syncs through your own iCloud, and keeps your data on your devices; the developer can't see it. It's made for one tutor, not a test prep company. Full access is free for 14 days, no card needed.
