 Great so far! December 28, 2008
We've only had this product for about a month, but so far it seems to be a great addition to our home school curriculum. It's easy to use and our 17 year old daughter is sailing along with this program. I would recommend it.
Excellent Value! November 6, 2008

As an adult student in need of math reviewing & uprgrading, I find this tool to be very useful indeed. You've got 10 different programs here ranging from basic math up to calculus. Included is what appears to be a good program for learning Excell. Each program is a bit different from the others in the way it is 'installed' and in using it. Although geared more towards high school students, a serious adult will have no trouble with this. Assuming of course you enjoy sitting in front of a computer and using software as a learing tool.
I gave it 4 stars only because of two things that have nothing to do with the actual instructions itself. In that area it is most excellent. The lessons are very clear (to me anyways) and fun to use with seemingly infinite quiz generating questions. The only thing that might slow you down a bit is the questions are on screen and doing math questions is easier if they are already written down on paper for you. Complex questions will require you to copy them down to avoid looking up & down at your screen. Minor inconvience.
Ok, 4 stars due to the fact that the dvd rom HAS to be in your computer for the 'install' to work. That can be a pain in the you-know-what plus wear & tear on your dvd drive. But, I solved that problem by creating an ISO image on my hard drive, and then using a virtual dvd drive to 'play' the image. (it's less than 2 gigs) Works perfect! And the best thing is I never need the actual dvd rom itself. This can be handy for students with a laptop who are on the go and don't want to keep popping the dvd in & out. Sometimes you have a small block of time that could be used for a quick study or review and having the DVD ROM image already there ready to play is really great. I used Daemon Tools to do the job. It's freeware and works great!
The other reason for the 4 stars instead of 5, is that when you exit a program it takes too long (for my liking anyways) to end. Do I really need to see everytime I exit the credits for the people responsible for creating it?
All in all, it's very excellent software and well done. Lucky for me amazon.com could not ship it to my Canadian address and I was able to find a Canadian site that sent it to me for only one dollar (canadian) shipping! At only $9 bucks US this was a steal.....of course, it's worth many more times that and even if you had to pay 3 times that, it'd still be worth it. I would highly recommend this software for anyone wanting to uprgade, review, or need a supplemental study guide for the kids.
 A Must For College and Highshool August 7, 2008

This is the best investment I have ever made when it comes to purchasing learning tools and software. It has everything anyone could use to earn better grades in both highschool math classes and an excellent review for college level classes. If your like me, I havent taken a math classes in over 5yrs and remember very little from my highschool math classes because they were so boring and at times confusing. This software brings the concept of learning to life, it gives you and your child a reason for learning these concepts and lets you know how it can be helpful for you in the future. I have given this tool a much deserved 5star rating

i recently had to take a math assessment test and i needed to review my algebra and trigonometry since it had been several years since i took them.. this certainly gave me a good review on math concepts. i was too much on a hurry so i did exercises ranging from easy - hard and when i couldnt figure out how to solve them i would just go back to the concept itself. it explains fairly well the things you need to know. i cant say for a fact that this would allow you to substitute a real math class altogether. but this would indeed serve as a MATH ADVANTAGE if you coupled this with the things you learn from class.
