Nick, I just brought up Dtoid here at work and I don't know if it was coincidence but merely by seeing the words SAT/ACT made me yawn like I was in High School all over again...Very good idea for a study aid, it'll be interesting to see if a DS (or equivalent system) will become standard class equipment like the good ol' TI calculators we used in trig and calculus.
The most hilariously ironic thing about the SAT was that your score didn’t mean a damn thing once you actually got to college. Now, it is but a distant memory of past glory...college is hard, man.
MSN Conversation with a friend of mine working for Kaplan. (asked him about this, this morning)
7:34:21 AM: why its not really a scoop
7:34:47 AM: Kaplans parrent company is Washington post
7:34:56 AM: washington post owns many companies
7:35:01 AM: Newsweek is one of them
Thought i would share this with the class since i found it interesting

True. N'Gai Croal (who wrote the piece at Level Up) actually discloses that information, too!

I guess if it spreads some knowledge to people who otherwise would've been ignorant, that's awesome. But man, that just sounds like the most boring thing in the world.

If this was around when I was in HS, I totally would have bought it. At least with this, there's practical applications unlike the 1st grade math you practice in brain age.

Nah, it's still a game, just like My Spanish Coach and My French Coach. I own both and enjoy them greatly. It's just that educational gaming genre that might seem boring to most people. But, I can say the same thing about a lot of genres that wouldn't require those quotation marks on your end.

Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
Now that was an educational Game (capital 'G' added for emphasis).

If they made an Xbox 360 version I could see students getting all geared up to study while unlocking achievements.
The term is "serious game", and it's a field that a lot of development is probably going to be happening in over the next few years. This seems like a damn good idea to me in any case.
I might actually get the DS version. I play Brain Age all the time, so I might as well replace it to study SATs.
Yeah, my college days are over and gone but I would pick this game up if those days still lay ahead of me I suppose.
Good idea.
Good idea.
