SAT Study Guides Reach the iPod

Plenty of high-schoolers preparing for the SAT have gotten this piece of advice: Put down your iPod and pick up a study guide.

The first part of that suggestion can now be scrapped. Kaplan Inc., a test-preparation service, has released a set of SAT practice quizzes for video iPods, The New York Times reports.

Kaplan has created three programs -- for the test's mathematics, reading, and writing sections -- and is selling them for $4.99 each at Apple's iTunes music store. The SAT-prep software joins programs like Tetris and Texas Hold 'Em in the online store's smallish "games" section.

Company officials call the iPod games "supplemental" services and say Kaplan is not about to depart from its traditional tutoring programs. --Brock Read
