    I am thinking about trying this for History with my twins next year. What I can't figure out from the web site is do I need to order 2 sets or can they both use the same set?

    Does the grading recognize two different students? and can they use it on two different computers by simply moving the discs or not.

    I will buy 2 if I need to but I can't figure out if I am supposed to or not?

    they can both use the one, you set them up as superate students -- they are supposed to work for up to 6 students per disc. But you can actuallly save a second copy on the computer by accident lol I did this , had to sort out what was what too!
    you can set your kids up on two computers and you on a third if you want as teacher and home computer or whatever it says now.

    and you can set it up on two different computers too just load the disc to the machine its easier... any more questions?

    I have been using it for lets see, oldest is in college he started using it in 7th grade, we used SOS science then and math as a transition for Jr high/Middle school so they had something different. MY oldest liked the math on SOS but we are not having much fun this year with it. My youngest gets impatient when there are tons of numbers to type.
    We love their history though! Second child did SOS for jr/sr years. She attends a school this year for Senior year which uses SOS for all upper grades jr and sr high, as the main curriculum. They also throw in some MUS and Ace Paces and such.
    dd likes the MUS better than SOS but has been doing both this year for Alg2.
    The teacher didnt realise he was giving them two credits in math at once that way haha!
