Poorly designed product
|
| When I first saw this product, I thought, what a great idea! My daughter could practice SAT questions in the car or while she's waiting for an appointment. However, this product is basically the contents of the book, "Cracking the New SAT," but is a lot less readable and usable than the book that costs about $20. The screen is too small to be able to read the whole question so you have to scroll back and forth several times before you can answer the question. There is no easy way to navigate through the sections--the book would have been easier. The practice drills seem to be almost nonexistent and I still haven't figured out how to access the word flash cards. There are only three practice tests: the book with the CD-rom has 7. Both the book and the pockt prep give you access to more online tests and support. I felt that the designers of this product missed the boat on how a teenage could use this product--it would have been a better product if it randomly gave you practice questions and if it had on the main menu immediate access to different types of questions and reference materials. I thought that this device would randomly give you a question, you answer it, then it would give you an immediate response and explanation. Instead you have to slog through an entire test before you get any results. It seems illogical that anyone would want to do an entire SAT test on a tiny screen that is so difficult to read. This is a portable device but its designers don't seem to realize what portability means in terms of content and design. |
