Reception
The game was expected to crash both at critical and commercial stages, but IGN said it wasn't too bad, stating that it is "simple and easy to follow"; reviewer Jack Devries's final opinion was that "If your school offers an SAT prep course, I would definitely recommend that over this title, but if you didn't plan on studying at all, then My SAT Coach is probably better than nothing." IGN gave it 6.5.However, Knight-Nui offered an alternative opinion, saying "Games are to be FUN. SATs are to be DULL. Not a good match", adopting a new rating style to give it an 'F' mark.
