Some time ago information was requested on this BB concerning software designed for preparation for the SAT (the College Entrance Examination Board's [CEEB] Scholastic Aptitude Test), which is often taken as part of the application process for American colleges. A detailed review of six programs has just been published . It is in: MATHEMATICS TEACHER, 80 (6), September, 1987, pp.440-454. The authors are John G. Harvey and John W. Kenelly. "S.A.T. Preparatory Course", published by the Owlcat Division of Digital Research Corp. in 1983, was categorized as acceptable, although not without faults. Its list price is apparently $250. 128K of Apple ][ memory is required. ****DISCLAMER: My comments, etc., are my own shakey opinions ******** | Bruce P.
