What is Perplexity?
Perplexity is an AI answer engine. You ask a question, it searches the web and writes an answer with links to the pages it used, which makes it fast for research. It was not built for exam preparation: it has no question bank matched to the real test, no timed practice, and no record of your scores. For applications, it can only be as good as the web pages it finds, and you still have to judge which are official and up to date.
What is TuttoPrep?
TuttoPrep is built for one journey: getting into an Italian university from abroad. It puts exam prep for the CEnT-S, SAT, AP and IELTS next to the application itself: a personalized checklist, enrollment timelines, guides for each university and a searchable directory. You practise, see your progress and know your next step in the same place.

Perplexity finds information. TuttoPrep turns it into a plan you can follow.
Perplexity is a fast way to see what the web says about a question. But passing the CEnT-S or SAT takes questions that match the real exam, practice under time pressure, and a clear view of what to work on next. And for your application, a list of links is not the same as knowing exactly what to do, in what order, by when.
TuttoPrep brings all of this into one place. If you already use Perplexity, keep it for quick research. Use TuttoPrep as the place where your preparation and your application happen.
