This review is from: Weekly Reader Learning System Mastering High School Math & The SAT 2009 (DVD-ROM)

I bought this to review math and thought my kids would use it as they learned the concepts in school. This is a terrible product and I've written the company to request a refund. The speakers have a very patronizing tone and painfully slow pace. It was so bad that I finally muted the sound and just read the text at the bottom of the screen. Each page loads very slowly. Some of the concepts aren't explained well, leaving one to use other books or websites to clarify. The worksheets look like they were done by an amateur, watching them slowly write out the answer is annoying. Although the product claims to allow parents to monitor the progress of their children, I couldn't figure this out and it doesn't seem to be available, at least on the OSX version.

The software was not helpful. It did not cover the subject mater. It just starts with some advanced topics but doesn't really explain the material.
