My SAT Coach is a game on the Nintendo DS that helps students prepare for the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), a common standardized college-entry exam for American high school students.[1][2]

The Princeton Review partnered with Ubisoft to create the game.[2] The game features several learning exercises that progress through three stages of learning. It contains Mini-Game Drills, Personal Follow-Up and The Real Expert.[1] The goal is to help the student improve his or her SAT score.[1]

Reception

The game was expected[by whom?] to crash both at critical and commercial stages, but IGN said it wasn't too bad, stating that it is "simple and easy to follow"; reviewer Jack Devries's final opinion was that "If your school offers an SAT prep course, I would definitely recommend that over this title, but if you didn't plan on studying at all, then My SAT Coach is probably better than nothing." IGN gave it 6.5.[3]

However, Knight-Nui offered an alternative opinion, saying "Games are suppose [sic] to be FUN. SATs are suppose [sic] to be DULL. Not a good match", adopting a new rating style to give it an 'F' mark.[4]
