If you think you might need a little boost to help you get into your first-choice college, load up the Kaplan SAT, ACT, and PSAT Deluxe 2001 software package and you'll have plenty of tools to succeed. It actually wouldn't hurt to get this early on in your high school career, as one of the disks in this five-CD-ROM set is a comprehensive learning-skills trainer, covering note taking, reading, writing, memory aids, and more--all helpful from your teen years on into adulthood. Two more disks help give you an edge on the PSAT, SAT, and ACT; between the practice tests, individualized study program, test analysis, and behind-the-scenes question-answering tips, you're guaranteed to raise your score on these crucial tests.

This is a rich, well-designed program. The graphics are fun in the main screens and gradually narrow their focus as you get closer to the actual test questions. The directions are simple and let you go at your own pace, studying as much as you need in the proper areas until the big day arrives. Once it's over, hang onto the software--you also get the Newsweek Guide to Colleges, a searchable database of over 1,600 schools with links to Web sites, online applications, information on academics, extracurricular activities, and plenty more. Concerned about paying for the school of your choice? The financial planning program helps you find and apply for scholarships and loans you might never have heard about, as well as manage all the costs of your education sensibly so you can minimize your post-graduation debt. The Kaplan SAT, ACT, and PSAT Deluxe 2001 package will give you a competitive academic and financial edge without boring you to tears; do your part and you'll go far. --Rob Lightner
