Optimizing college test prep
Remember the SAT? If you’ve blocked it out, you’re certainly not alone. If you’re reliving the pain with your kids, you may be able to offer them a better experience.
Enter Prep Me, a Chicago-based company that offers an online testing experience that optimizes to your aspiring collegian’s study needs. The Prep Me team has built a web-based software solution that pushes the student to work on their areas of greatest weakness, continually adjusting the study program as the student progresses. And they’ve included community features like online chat with live tutors (current college students at Stanford and the University of Chicago), a wiki, and a blog for those times when the student needs extra help.
In all, this program is a really smart Web 2.0 update on a national rite of passage. Who knows – maybe your grandkids will even look forward to test time.
