ipods have taken over classrooms all over the world. Now a new development is available: testing center extraordinaire Kaplan is making all sorts of test preparation available through iPods.

From PR Newswire:College- and grad school-bound students can now use their iPods for more than music and movies -- with the launch of a new podcast series from Kaplan, they will be able to get expert insight on high-stakes entrance exams, financial aid, the shifting admissions landscape, workplace recruiting, and more. The series of downloadable audio clips, which will be accessible via Kaplan's site http://www.kaptest.com and iTunes and free to all, will include perspectives and timely advice from testing specialists,experts at top-tier universities, leading corporations and high-achieving peers.

The Kaplan series has kicked off with podcasts for LSAT takers which provide instant post-test exam analysis, including inside information on the test's ambiguities (such as which segment was the "experimental" section),insight into pacing and test tactics that proved effective, advice on what to do in a variety of scenarios, as well as feedback to students from peers on test anxiety and test rituals. The post-test podcasts available at: http://surveys.kaptest.com/instantanalysis/lsat have already been downloaded nearly 15,000 times and are the most downloaded items on the Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions site.This sure would have been a nice feature when I was applying to graduate school! Isn't it amazing what opportunities are available to students these days?
