Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not ready for prime time
Review: ...

This program has many errors in the practice exercises and a few in the examples worked through in the instructional portions of the program. For instance, X^2 + 8X + 16 = (X+8)^2. The program is riddled with such errors which should have been caught by any high school graduate if it was proof-read. Because I am using this program for review, I am able to get through the mistakes but I'm afraid it would confuse someone new to algebra immensely.

Because of poor program design, you can't prove the test errors out - it never tells you which test problems you missed so you can't review areas where you may be weak. The interface is not a Windows interface. It only operates full screen so you can't work casually, while doing anything else.

Overall, for my purposes, the program is marginally acceptable but I wish I had spent my money on a different math program.
