HAMDEN, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Learning Edge, a leading provider of standardized test preparation, has announced the launch of SATLadder, an SAT® preparation app unlike any other on the market. The app is the first of its kind in that it allows students to compete anonymously against their peers and then ranks them based on the results of these head-to-head matches. Competitors are presented with questions drawn from any of the three sections of the SAT®: Critical Reading, Mathematics, or Writing.
The app consists of two game modes: SOLO MODE and HEAD-TO-HEAD MODE.
The free lite version of the app gives users access to the SOLO MODE, in which students engage in 5-round matches against the Ladder. Each solo round consists of a single question and all questions encountered are immediately logged for review on the student’s personalized profile page at www.SATLadder.com.
The full version of the app gives users access to the SOLO MODE as well as the two forms of HEAD-TO-HEAD MODE, Friendly matches and Ladder matches, in which students engage in matches against chosen or randomly selected competitors. The outcomes of Ladder matches, but not Friendly matches, affect ranking on the Ladder. By participating in Ladder matches, students can attempt to climb the Ladder and take control of the coveted #1 spot. All questions encountered are logged for review at www.SATLadder.com.
Mark Anestis, director and founder of the Learning Edge and creator of SATLadder, is thrilled to launch this exciting and competitive game. “This app provides students who like the thrill of competition a more dynamic mode of preparation that will make studying fun. The app is quite versatile: students can use it as a quick study tool when they have a few minutes to do a handful of questions, or they can systematically play the game and review the correct answers via the detailed answer explanations that come with the Ladder Edge package on the website.” The app includes over 2,000 questions with answer explanations and definitions to over 1,000 high-frequency SAT® words.
SATLadder is available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch and can be downloaded from the App Store.
