I learned about Shmoop at cue a couple of years ago as a literature teaching and learning support service with content written and provided by university phds and doctoral candadates from highly-regarded universities. Both of my own kids have taken great advantage of it for different things over the last year or two. They now include Economics, US History, and other subjects with the same appeal to students as ever. My son used their PSAT prep as well as the AP Macroeconomics and was very successful with both tests.
NOW their business model is expanding to contracts with schools on a per-student price point of $8. For this all the students at the school get access to all the test prep for PSAT, ACT, SAT, SAT subject tests. all AP exam prep, and teachers get all the teacher resources for literature, etc. AP Chem is going live on 3/30/2012. Accoring to Christopher, this prep is much higher-level than you get from the prep books and is all professor created. I'd like to look into this for our students, because I think their style and quality is fantastic. Most of all, students like using it, which gets them to actually use it!!!
