Study for the SAT with Warcraft Manga
Well, this one takes today’s award for oddest news. Apparently Tokyopop and Kaplan have published a Warcraft-themed manga that features more than 300 words that frequently show up on the SATs and ACTs. I applaud the effort to help kids get their edumacation, but I think they missed the mark on this one.
Wired had a post about the manga here

One of the practice exam problem I made for SAT II MATH IIc mentioned StarCraft. We had to raise the difficulty rating of the problem for either students got confused with StarCraft terminology, or they wasted time laughing at the mention of those words.
