SAT Students Hit the Books & Web

While many high school students are still gathering at their local libraries to cram for the Scholastic Aptitude Test, it’s a sure bet that just as many of them are staying home and logging onto the Internet to prep for the test. In a new report from Milpitas, Calif.-based Nielsen NetRatings, collegeboard.org showed a whopping 77 percent spike in at-home traffic for the week ending April 29. The reason, analysts said, is that many students are registering online to take the SAT, which begins nationwide in May.
