Amazon.com Review

Need to bone up for your college entrance exams? Look to Kaplan, one of the nation's test-prep leaders; its two-CD-ROM package is chock-full of diagnostic tests and lessons to help you ace all the necessary exams, plus more general advice on planning for college admission.

Choose from various types of helpful information to begin your preparation: assessment tests, lessons on each type of test question, flash cards and quiz games, and an admissions calendar that helps you plan your entire application process. It's the tests and lessons, though, that are the heart of the program. The lessons are broken into bitesized topics and include a lot of spoken narration that can't be interrupted midstream by a click; this can be somewhat time-consuming if you want to preview or browse lessons before deciding whether you need them. Each lesson offers one or two sample questions to illustrate its point.

Though easily installed, the instruction book doesn't tell you much about how to maneuver through the program, so you must wade through the introductory tour and some cheesy graphics to figure out the application's functions. A quick warning: set the volume on your control panel before running the program, because it isn't adjustable from the menu bar.

These CD-ROMs offer a thorough review of all the different types of questions that are asked on the ACT, SAT, and PSAT. Whether you simply want to familiarize yourself with the format of the test you'll be taking, or wish to brush up on math skills or vocabulary, Kaplan's college test-prep programs offer plenty of informed practice. --Matt Kohut

5.0 out of 5 stars A great preparation, June 10, 2000

This review is from: Kaplan SAT, ACT, and PSAT 2001 (CD-ROM)

I would highly recommend ordering this cd rom pack, particularly instead of the 2001 "deluxe" version, which is more expensive but hardly has any more information.
