Do the SAT/ACT online prep programs score the 4 practice tests?

Yes. When your student takes the practice tests, the software will automatically scores everything except the essay, which is faxed in a scored by an instructor.

How are the SAT/ACT online programs different from the Kaplan SAT/ACT/PSAT Platinum 2007 software product?

Other than price -- the software retails for $49.95 -- the main difference is that there is no “instruction” included in Platinum product, as there is in the online programs. In the Platinum product, students take a practice test, get their results, but then have to go through a book and teach themselves. In the online programs, a virtual teacher instructs students, making it much more user friendly.

For which SAT or ACT tests will this subscription help me prepare.

Our school subscription will begin no later than June 15, 2008 and extend until June 14, 2009. Therefore, your student will be able to use this subscription to prepare for any tests scheduled during or after that timeframe, including:

Upcoming SAT Tests:

  • October 4, 2008
  • November 1
  • December 6
  • January 24, 2009
  • March 14, 2009
  • May 2, 2009
  • June 6, 2009
Upcoming ACT Tests:
  • September 23, 2008
  • October 25
  • December 13
  • February 7, 2009
  • April 4, 2009
  • June 13, 2009

Can multiple students share the same account?

No. The SAT/ACT programs are designed for use by an individual student. The SAT program tracks the student’s progress, and varies the questions based on their answers. The ACT program tracks their progress. What's more, the student user can take each of the four full-length practice tests only once. So, if you tried to use the same account for two students, neither of them would get the full value of the program.
