Laptop tests before buying.?

Hi and welcome to my blog,
I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his SAT.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great SAT guide that helped me a lot . So study hard and good luck!
I am planning to buy a used Compaq c501 laptop with 512 ram, 80 gb hd, windows vista and a dvd burner for 365.00 What should I check before I buy it? Is there any tests I can do.Like checking the task manager performance section? Checking for dead pixels.Please help.
what is the best SAT prep class in Austin Tx area?

SAT tutor for this summer? I need some option…?
I want to help a private tutor for the SAT test in this summer. But I don’t know which one is good??? Can you give me some suggestions…. I am very appreciate about that….
I am thinking about The Princeton Review and the Kaplan. Which is better?
has anyone taken a princeton review SAT subject math 2c course?
was it helpful? does it concentrate more on test taking stratgies or math review? and how much empahsis is put in teaching how to use the graphing calculator effectively on the test?
Need help with preparation for the SAT…?
I’m going to be a junior next year, and I’ve been trying to get my score up to at least the 2000 range. I’ve made a litle bit of progress, going from a 1440 to a 1770 this summer, but I’ve had some big problems I don’t know how to fix.
For the math section, I always struggle with the last five problems, which are the most advanced. I just don’t understand how you make up your own equations and see it from a different point of view. It really frustrates me when I don’t know what to do or how to even start it. I look in the back of the book on how they solved the problems, but I always end up feeling stupid after seeing the strange techniques they used… although somehow they make it work. Most of the time I end up leaving these advanced problems blank. How can I get better at this?
By the way, I’m taking the SAT early senior year I think.. and my parents are considering sending me to an SAT prep class for this upcoming year. Has anyone heard of ELITE, or has anyone taken a Princeton Review Class? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
how can I start preparing for the SAT and the ACT now?
I’m 13, and I’ve always heard how hard and stressful the SAT and the ACT are. How can I start preparing now? I flipped through an SAT book at barnes & noble, and it recommended studying an hour a night on week nights and four hours every Saturday for the year before you take the SAT! Do you really need that much preparation?
The College Board or REA study guide for bio SAT?
I took practice tests both from the College Board subject review and REA’s subject review… and my scores have a huge discrepancy, scoring 790 in the CB and in the mid-600s in REA’s. REA’s questions are much more difficult than the CB study guide, but I wasn’t sure how realistic my CB scores are compared to REA’s. Does anyone know if it’s okay to feel that I’m prepared enough, assuming my CB score is the more accurate estimate of my score?

Fore Test prep like the SAT, SAT II, and AP, are the peterson’s kaplan, arco, mcgraw books easier or harder?
Like in general for any of the test. But particularly the AP U.S. History which I’m taking this friday, and I want to take the one that is the most similar to the real AP test.
And the smartypants books for the Environmental Science AP test, which I’m taking this wednesday.
If you know of any other book names, that would also help me in the future.
Thanks.

How should I tutor SAT Math?
Should I only review past exam questions or should I go more in depth with each topic?
Can you have your ACT and SAT scores sent directly to you, THEN decide if you want to send them to colleges?
Also, will the college board SAT course prepare me for the ACT too?
Also, What’s the difference in the two tests? Should your mind-set be different during each separate test, or what?
what website is useful as a preparation for the SAT I, Writing and critical reading sections(see details)?
they always tell you you should read lots of books and stuff like that, but the idea of reading a book all the time is a little boring so I’m looking for a good website that has articles, stories or anything I can read and improve my skills by it.
