Department of Education to launch free online SAT prep program for 11th grade students - NYPOST.com:

"Reeling from four straight years of plunging SAT scores, the city will offer a free online prep course for the exam to all 11th-graders in public schools, The Post has learned.

As many as 50,000 teens are expected to sign up for the new SAT tutorial, which will allow them to access test-prep materials and college-planning assistance from the Internet, according to city Department of Education officials.

The program -- expected to cost the city less than $350,000 -- is set to start within months and target kids taking the exam in spring and fall of 2010."
