1 out of 5 stars Definitely does NOT live up to expectations....   July 27, 2008
  1 out of 3 found this review helpful

This product is not good. While I can't really fault the math contained in the program, the delivery is very poor. You would be better off with a text book. The DVD freezes up - it must have some internal bugs. The graphics are elementary (at best) and the DVD is not interactive and I would not recommend this product.

I thought this program was a lot better since it was recommended by a counselor in a University. No practice at all and explanations are better online.


4 out of 5 stars Not Bad   July 20, 2008
  3 out of 4 found this review helpful

Math can be hard, even with a goodly teacher.

Math Advantage 2009 isn't going to magically make you
good at the numbers, but if your already commited to
working at it, Math Advantage 2009 will give you a
hand up.

If your not really interested in math, don't waste
the money. If your already doing the work, this thing
will help a lot.
