Schoolhouse Rock meets the SAT:
Pop culture references, jokes about dating and female empowerment messages - "Not Too Scary Vocabulary'' ($45.95) sure isn't your parents' SAT-prep program. Renee Mazer, a University of Pennsylvania Wharton School graduate and a standardized-test tutor for 17 years, uses poems and songs to help students study vocabulary in this seven-CD set. "I watch TV, what kids are watching, listen to the radio. Kids like 'That '70s Show,' and they are listening to the music I'm listening to. All those references are there.'' Some students have told Mazer their scores have jumped 70 to 150 points after using her prep kit.Posted by kswygert at March 28, 2005 03:10 PM
