Prepare SAT in iPod Generation
The SAT is a standardized test for college admissions in the United States. Kaplan, a traditional test preparation company is offering some options for the iPod generation.
Three interactive programs from Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions are for sale at iTunes for downloading to iPods with video screens. The programs were released last week, giving vacationing students plenty of time for practice quizzes before the next test date in October.
The three programs, in critical reading, mathematics and writing, correspond to the three graded sections of the exam. The programs cost $4.99 each and are available in the iPod games section of the iTunes store
The programs include about 1,000 practice questions and hints and strategy sessions on subjects like “Top 10 Test-Taking Tips†and “SAT Math Basics.†They can be used only after being downloaded to an iPod, not in iTunes. The company also recently introduced a MySpace page (www.myspace.com/kaplan) and a series of vocabulary-building manga, or graphic novels.
