Learning how to type can be a bit of an overwhelming experience for newcomers. Most keyboards aren't set up alphabetically, so its format may seem complicated for those unfamiliar with it. Rapid Typing Tutor is there to help though. Whether you have a regular QWERTY keyboard or something a little less traditional, Rapid Typing Tutor probably has your keyboard format saved and available to use for typing lessons. The lessons also come in a great variety of different languages besides English.

Once you've chosen your keyboard and language settings, it's time to choose the lesson most appropriate for your skill level. Rapid Typing Tutor has everything from the most basic lessons to more advanced ones. You can choose to take lessons that teach you where specific letters are or lessons that teach you how to type different word sets.

Rapid Typing Tutor's set-up is quite convenient, as it offers a virtual keyboard, complete with a pair of hands that show you the appropriate placement for your hands on your own keyboard. Then, just follow the on-screen instructions. Rapid Typing Tutor will make a noise if you hit an incorrect key. If this becomes distracting, there is an option to mute the program. If you'd like a more scenic screen while learning how to type, Rapid Typing Tutor also offers an animated screen that moves forward every time you click the correct letter.

The only real hang-up a user might have with Rapid Typing Tutor is that the program does take up quite a lot of space on your screen. It also sometimes freezes up for a moment or two between screens, particularly when you have several programs running at once.

If you want to learn how to type at a quicker speed, however, give Rapid Typing Tutor a try.

SATmax features a nicely uncluttered interface, perfect for the stressed out college hopeful, looking to brush up on subjects tested on the SAT.

Choose a specific SAT subject, and you'll be taken to sub-categories. Much like in-person prep courses, SATmax organizes lessons into by date and subject. There are video lessons, multiple choice question sets, and flashcard assignments to ensure you completely understand the lessons being taught.

After each question set, you can also review your answers in-depth with SATmax. This is essential, because you'll never learn from your mistakes unless an explanation is given in most instances. Once done with a complete set, you can also share your results with other friends using the program.

Although the app is pretty comprehensive, it probably isn't a complete substitute for in-person tutoring or another type of offline prep class. As a supplement though, SATmax really stands out.

SATmax is a great way to reinforce specific subject areas during your SAT prep.

Master Key is a rather basic looking but very effective typing tutor which takes you through a huge series of drills in order to bring your typing speed up to scratch.
Master Key includes drills for U. S. , Dvorak, French, and German keyboard layouts and if the huge number of drills aren't enough for you, you can import your own text files, eBook pages and even create your own drills.

When you setup Master Key, you're asked whether you want to store pupil files individually on your hard drive or in the Applications folder so that other users on a network can access the records.
The interface is very basic - it looks very dated - but it's full of handy tips and hints to prepare you before you type. To get started, click New Pupil and enter your name.
You then have a huge range of drills and sub-drills to choose from.
As you type, there are Accuracy, WPM and Error dials at the top of the interface.
An error noise sounds if you make a mistake but the basic aim on the test I tried (Learning QWERTY) was to type letters and the spacebar in as fast a time as possible.
The score readings and stats are incredibly in-depth when you've finished. There's even a game called ParaTyper which involves saving paratroopers as you type although I couldn't access this because its probably only available in the full version which you are prompted to upgrade to every time you start a new test.

Master Key may look simple and a bit dated but its incredibly complete and will cover every possible angle of your typing skills.
