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.
