I’m reviving this thread… long story short I awakened this morning at 4:21am and the TV had an infomercial about the computer program Wordsmart…($200)

I am a parent, not a student. I’m thinking ahead for my 9th grader. I have already advised her that the best way to prepare for these tests is to simply read a lot. Her english class requires 300 pages per week, so she is in fact reading books of her choice.

To supplement that, I think it would be good for her to spend some time formally working on her vocabulary.

So downstairst to the computer, and an hour later I concluded that instead of the $200 Wordsmart perhaps the Kaplan PSAT/SAT/ACT gold edition software $25.

Have others used the Kaplan? Success?
