AlgebraPrep Quadratic Equations 1.0 (iPod-iPhone-touch)
This application is aimed at primarily High School and Middle School Students. The app visually looks very good. It has a clean professional look that you would expect from a major company with nice looking custom icons. The app itself doesn’t have a lot of features bells or whistles, it consists of two areas, practice tests and mini-tests. The mini-tests are scored and the app tracks your high scores so you can see your progress. It is important to think of this application as a study aid or learning tool and not a game. This app something you will want to use to supplement a maths class or book. The application is called Algebra Prep: Factoring and only covers that particular aspect of Algebra. I have not seen others in the Algebra Prep series but one would think they are coming.
You will notice the download takes longer than you expect for a little math app. There is a reason for that, this is not a little math app, it clocks in at almost 170 MB. Most of my apps are measured in K and even big games are under 50 MB. Assassin’s Creed, a very large graphic intensive game, is only 130 MB. The reason for the size is quite simple though, Video. This application has lots and lots of video help. Every problem has help.
The Practice test area gives you a progressively harder series of 29 questions. Unfortunately this area only has 29 questions and after you complete them you are free to reset the prectice test but the problems are the same. As a study tool you will likely be working lots and lots of other problems or just keep drilling on these until you know them backwards and forwards. The practice tests have the actual problems you are given worked out so there is no guess work on how things apply to a particular situation.
