Great site. Unfortunately after I took the hearing pitch test (26 snippets of songs!), I got NO test results no matter what I did. :( Disappointed.

Nice list Erin!
May I suggest Cogn-IQ as a valuable resource for students? This website is for Psychologists, Teachers, Educators, Students, and everyone interested in the fields that are related to testing and understanding cognitive abilities.
Thanks Xavier. I like what you’re doing with Cogn-IQ. :-)
Thanks Erin!
Really great list! I am the developer of WordStash, which is also a valuable educational tool. It combines flashcards and a dictionary and uses games and quizzing to help you learn.
Erin, Awesome list! I also wanted to mention Read Print as a helpful student resource. We offer over 8,000 classic books that anyone can read online for free…and, we were named one of Time Magazine’s Top 50 Sites of 2010.
