This is PERFECT for SAT learning and prep! Really, this is exactly what my son needed. He is quite smart and test taking not to difficult for him, but sitting for SAT's is not easy! This game just enhances his security for sitting for this incredibly long test. The questions are tough but the game makes it fun to learn them. There are a million SAT prep guides available, but this game is the best I've seen. I have a daughter who sat for all her tests using just the SAT prep guides and did very well, but even she wishes this game were around two years ago for her to use. He and his buddies are "playing" this game during free time in school and so far I've had two parents ask me where to get the game for their sons as well. Hopefully we'll have some scholarships in our future! Either way, I know they will all have much more confidence sitting for the test in May.

3.0 out of 5 stars fun, but compromises on review and education, August 27, 2010

Though more fun than the My SAT Coach game, I feel like FutureU compromises on the actual review. I actually question the validity of some questions and answers on this game. Many of the Reading and Writing sections' questions seemed to have incorrect answers labeled as the correct ones. I could be wrong, but since this game doesn't explain why the the "correct" choice actually is correct, I have no idea which grammar rules the creators are referencing and/or using to justify the answer. In addition, this game only has six activities, which is a bummer. I honestly feel that the questions (whether valid or not) aren't a good review. There just wasn't enough material reviewed and the questions lacked diversity in category (only three categories: Reading, Writing, and Math which review really only two types of problem each). I don't feel that I got my money's worth out of it and would not recommend to a friend. I would recommend My SAT Coach, though (haha, sorry if I sound like an ad, but it's true) Good luck in whatever you choose :)

I got this as a lightening deal, for a steal. Figured it could help increase my general knowledge. I was not wrong. It is a great brain game. Infact the most challenging I have so far. I couldn't stop playing it when it arrived yesterday.

I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to inprove math skills, reading, vocabulary, and critical thinking. It is not easy and it is not stupid characters any youth or adult will find it fun and challenging. I kind of amazed myself that I could do algebra as I was terrible at it in high school.

Great game and it was a great price.
