SAT Test Prep Sites Get Mixed Report Card
WebWatch and the Mediatech Foundation tested 10 Web sites for high school kids getting ready to take the Scholastic Aptitude Test, yes, the dreaded SAT. We didn't get this report out in time for the May 6 tests, but there's still two weeks until the June 3 date. If you or your kids are taking the test, you should read this report first. There's a lot of interesting comparison and contrast, and our student testers reported good experiences overall. But we're not sure it makes much sense to spend $400 on one of these services when there's a pretty good one that's free. Also we found one that did not respond to requests for refunds, with a U.S. address but an ISP based in Thailand.

Hmm, not sure why XLPrep didn't come up in our search. Was it (1) around in Spring '05, and, at that point, did it have (2) interactive features (online testing and diagnostic features, other than a download or a static experience?).

This report missed the best online test prep site out there for SAT: XLPrep.com. Without a doubt xlprep offers the best online studying materials plus experience for the price. They also have a mobile tie-in.
