 Terrible February 17, 2002

I used it for about 10 minutes before I noticed something was wrong. It provides the wrong answers to many insanely obvious questions. This is just an attempt to [take] more money out of the standardized test franchise with a shoddy product. It calls itself a "2002 Deluxe Edition," but is intended to run on Win32 (it won't even run on Windows 2000). Don't waste your time on this poorly-made product from the Princeton Review; instead, purchase some books that will actually help you, like the College Board's "10 Real SATs."

I have read all the negative reviews and I feel compelled to add my sucess story. I first bought this program for my oldest daughter (class of 2000). We decided to give this a try before spending money on a "live class" program. She had taken the SATs once and did not score as well as she wanted. She was an IB student with little time to "learn" how to score well on a test. She tried this software, not adhering faithfully to all the instructions, but completing most of it. She took the SAT at the end of her junior year. Her scores increased by a whooping 200 points! I recommended it to my sister and her son increased his scores by 150 points. It may be just a matter of a few pointers on how to answer a standardized test, or the fact that you are now focused on one type of question and they teach you how to answer it, but I would highly recommend it. It is not a live class, it will require self-motivation, and if you are not prepared academically, it will not replace what you should have learned in four years of high school, but it will teach you a few tricks on how to score better on standardized testing. My daughter is now a succesful junior at the University of Notre Dame (Early Admission). Good Luck!
 It's Not That Great, Really January 8, 2002

The cartoonish instructors can get a little annoying, and once you've practiced a set of drills for any category, that's it. You're done. Good luck on the SAT, b/c you'll need it with this product. Why can't they just let me study the Hit Parade in peace, w/o watching the silly animation of CONGRATULATIONS, or some such word. Altogether, this probly raised my score quite a few points, but it could have been done in a more sophisticated manner.
It's a very good tutorial. January 15, 2002

I have used The Learning Company's Princeon Review: Inside the SAT & PSAT. I am now ordering this one for the ACT. If it is anything like the one I have been using, it is well worth it. I tried using study guides and used one before I took the GED. I wish I had had this type of study guide before I took it.
It is also very interesting and does keep your attention far better then a book. I highly recommend it.
