Title

Number2.com :: Free Online Test Prep

Description

Number2.com is the only website that offers students access to comprehensive free online test preparation courses for the SAT, ACT, and GRE. How do we do it? Number2.com earns revenue from sponsorships and licensing.

The company was founded by professors and graduate students who wanted to make high quality test preparation universally accessible. In 1998 Eric Loken and Josh Millet were graduate students studying for their PhDs at Harvard University when they began teaching free SAT prep classes in the Boston area. Seeking to expand their services to the Internet, they teamed up with Vincent Crespi, a professor of physics at Pennsylvania State University, who had created a test prep website called Number2.com in 1995. With the help of a great technologist, Filip Radlinski, they launched a new version of the site in September, 2000.

Since then, over 800,000 students have enrolled in Number2.com's online courses, and the web site now receives over 40 million hits per month. In 2002 Number2.com was acquired by Xap Corporation, a software company based in Culver City, CA. Xap's Mentor™ web sites are state-based college admission portals that provide college search, career planning, online applications, and financial aid tools to assist students with exploring their options for higher education. Xap shares Number2.com's mission of making higher education more accessible to students of all backgrounds. Joining Xap has allowed Number2.com to benefit from Xap's resources and expertise in the areas of web design and online product development. Number2.com is now a division of Xap.
