We have had a number of Georgia teachers request the English-Language Arts Review for the Middle School CRCT. This is now complete. We’ve taken our time to include content that specifically matches the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade GPS.
This new quality review includes all of the same great features that you are used to using with your students - benchmark testing, tutorial questions, educational games, and much more.
If you are interested in adding this product for your school, or if you would like a free trial to check it out, contact us at 770-882-0128 or email: info@usatestprep.com.

The Oklahoma Department of Education has updated its standards for the US History End-of-Instruction exam for the 2009-2010 school year. We have now finished the development of our review to match these new standards. Current subscribers will find this new review in the pull-down list under US History (2009). As always, we have included appropriate questions, terms, games and more to help your students. There is no additional cost for this product if you have a current subscription to the EOI US History Review.

This summer we focused our web development in providing our users two things that they have asked for most:
- Standard-Specific Review - this refers to giving the teachers the ability to assess students at the individual standard level, which will help identify weaknesses.
- Web-2.0 Friendly Site - this refers to the second generation of web design, which focuses on the user experience. Examples include social-networking and video-sharing sites.
Even with this significant development, one thing that all of our subscribers will notice is that we made the decision to keep our prices firm, or even reduce the cost of our product. We know that budgets are very tight this year, and we hope that this will help teachers meet their classroom needs.

We found and fixed a bug with our help videos. The bug only affected users with Internet Explorer 7, causing the video to play out of view of the user. This has now been corrected and all videos play correctly.

Dear USATestprep Subscriber,
We hope that you had an enjoyable summer and would like to welcome you back to another successful school year. Many of you remember that we surveyed you last spring. Based on the results of that survey, we spent our summer focusing on three major areas:
- Pricing – In light of the current economic conditions, we made a firm commitment to keep our prices the same, or even reduce them, to better accommodate your budget. Many schools have found some relief by using the Ed Tech portion of their ARRA funds.
- Version 6.5 – You’ll notice a new look and feel when you log in for the first time. We’ve focused on a streamlined organization to make your navigation easier. We’re also working behind the scenes on Version 7.0, our major release, which will be ready for you when you get back from Winter Holidays.
- Content Development – We wrote thousands of questions this summer. If your curriculum changed, we’re already up to date. Most importantly, we now have a review available to you at the standard-specific level. This was your #1 request.
In all of these changes, we’ve kept our focus on increasing student performance and easing teacher workload. To help you with all of this, you’ll notice a bank of new help videos when you login. As usual, everything listed here, and all upcoming improvements, come at no extra cost to you. Thank you for your continued support, and we hope that you and your students find these new features as useful as the old ones.
