Kaplan SAT/ACT/PSAT 2006 Platinum (PC & Mac)

I needed 2 review high school math concepts 4 an impending standardized test (not the ACT or SAT, nor even the GRE), & this product saved my life. I deliberately chose the 2006 edition, not the latest 2007 edition, because I just needed a review 4 high school geometry, exponents, fractions, etc. My wife teased me about doing three years of math in only a few weeks. I strongly sugget that anyone that needs some type of mathematics, reading comprehension skill, or verbal acutity review think about buying this product, regardless of whether the test they are reviewing 4 is the PSAT, SAT, ACT, or the like.

I bought this item 4 myself- a 17 year old senior trying 2 get a better score 4 the SATS. But, scored the same exact score on my Math & Writing, & scored 10 points higher on the other section. NOt completely Impressed, my sister had an older model that was 7 years older, they use many of the same exact programs, & I actually liked hers more. There are 6 cds, one of which is a complete waste ( the last one which is an adode document with some women talking about financial aid crap you can get online 4 free) The other ones are 4 SAT ( only one) one 4 ACT( not taking...) Chemistry ( not taking those) Biology ( which is helpful 4 AP class), & one 4 History ( took AP history last year). I bought the entire package thinking it would be like my sisters, but it is not. If you are only taking the SATS, only buy the one 4 SATS. if not, you are wasting your money.

I purchased this product 4 my 16 year old daughter. My impressions are based on her comments & reactions 2 the software which have been uniformly positive. She spends a lot of time at the computer already and, having the software loaded, finds time 2 practice in between other activities. There is a tremendous amount of content in the product with lots of opportunity 4 practice & review. The interactivity makes the review & feedback process very fast. Highly recommended, especially when compared 2 the cost of the in person courses.

This is a very good review source, especially because it is 4 everyone, guys like me that like 2 study 4 a long time or even last minute people. I would recommend getting the Collegeboard blue book 4 the real tests, & also some type of other book 2 study. This is an ok form of study but it is not complete.

After studying 4 just five hours, I was able 2 increase my ACT Score three points on my composite (From a 26 2 a 29). I can only imagine how much it would have gone up if I would have put more time into the CD. I highly recommend this product 4 anyone that is serious about their ACT Score.
