Kaplan to Bring Test Prep to DS

Apr. 19 6:39 AM by Alicia Ashby

The last time Nintendo tried to push productivity software for a handheld, that I remember, was a line of "serious work" apps for the Game Boy that were really pretty lousy. Aspyr and Kaplan's upcoming SAT Test Prep title for DS is veering into that territory... but, y'know, there's no way the software could be duller or more expensive than the traditional Kaplan SAT prep materials. N'Gai Croal at Level Up has the scoop.

Later today, Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions (a division of Kaplan, which is in turn owned by Newsweek's own parent company, The Washington Post Company) will announce that it is partnering with Aspyr Media to develop an as-yet-untitled SAT test prep game for the Nintendo DS. ... According to Aspyr co-founder Ted Staloch, Aspyr reached out to Kaplan Test Prep last summer to see if the two companies might be able to work together on a game that would hit the sweet spot of Brain Age fans and students studying for the SAT.
