Endorsed by Alex Trebek!

Increase your SAT scores by 200 points!


Success Pack!


Step by Step. So many CDs.


A curriculum that covers third grade through college.


Knowing big words makes you rich!


Testimonials. (Which makes me wonder if anyone who actually used this program are actually reading this; if so, how was it?)


It even comes with its own diplomas!


Get a load of those system requirements. Note how much more memory the Mac version requires and the long list of add-ons required for the PC version. But also notice how much more powerful a modern smartphone is than a PC or Mac of that era.
