Based on questions and comments from the thousands of teens who attended
a February 21 all-day, live online SAT Prepathon (www.kaptest.com/sat/prepathon),
students across the country are anxious about the upcoming test.

college-bound teens, taken by 1.7 million students across the country
last year, Kaplan can provide expert perspective and resources. To
schedule a TV, newspaper, blog, or radio interview with a Kaplan Test
