SAT Questions

Alright well I took my SAT last month and did poorly on Reading/Writing. I did do good on math aleast but I need to retake it and with most college applications being due Jan 15 I am signed up to take it again for Dec so I can get my scores back in time to send them off to colleges.

Now I only have a month and I want to make sure I get the best book out there to help me cause im pretty much going to lock myself in my room haha and study this book all day and night learning new techniques and strategies.

Do you all recommended any other books out there? Or am I good with this one.

I took the SATs, and I got 360 in critical reading, 480 in math, and 520 in writing. Should I get a tutor? I heard it helps a lot. I want to get into a top university, and I am going to be a high school freshie next year. How much studying should I do as of now?

I just applied for the SAT online prep course and it isn’t saying I subscribed. Did it take time for some people or did it just work right away?

I’m going to be entering college, fall 2009, and I’m an art major. I really don’t know what kind of laptop I should get. It seems that every art school uses Macs, but I’ve never used one before.

For preference, I want something that has high quality graphics (again, art major) and can run Photoshop and Illustrator well, has a lot of memory, and is relatively light.

i am planning on taking the november 7 SAT. and not sure whether to take SAT classes or not. i got a brochure in the mail about revolution prep. should i take the classes? it is 9 for a group course.
i already signed up for the free mock SAT test at my school but i’m not sure.

i really need advice. i took the psat twice. both times i was really sick with a high fever and headache and everything and i ended up with a 148 and a 145 so i really don’t know.

I need help on the SAT. I am a smart student, but the SAT doesn’t seem to be my cup of tea. The sections that I struggle in are critical reading and writing. So, obviously, I am a math guy. Recent scores were 500 CR, 530 RE, 670 M. There is a big gap between the CR/WR and the M section scores. Any advice to how I can prepare overall in all sections to level out my scores? What are the best books to prepare? Should I consider a SAT tutor? Any suggestions are welcome.

I’ve pretty much got the math down (although I want to practice more). But I would really like a book with good vocabulary and lots of hints for the verbal (CR) and writing sections. Also the same or another book with pleanty of practice. And if you have one that proved useful overall please do mention it. Thanks ahead of time.

High school student preparing to take the SATs in September. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

All the example perfect essay’s I’ve seen are just light years ahead of what you’d expect from something written in under 25 minutes and with no prior preparation for that specific prompt. How do people go about doing this?

I am a university econoimcs student and I am looking for a budget affordable laptop anywhere beteen 600-1500 dollars. I want a fast PC that I can use at home to listen to music, maybe play games, dvds, the basic stuff for a computer. I don’t want a piece of crap computer, I want a good computer, but not necessarily a desktop replacement, obviously for my price range. What are your opinions… is a macbook worth it @ 1500? with 2.4 ghz only 250 gb and 2gb of memory 128mb video card

or should i go with more of a dell or something with 2.0ghx, 4gb ram, 250 gb memory, 256 mb video card..

Hey guys

I live in New York and I think that I will sign up for the May SAT test. The problem is that I have never taken any prep courses before nor worked on any books developed for the test. I need something that would be very useful that can be done or taken within these two months for someone who doesn’t have any experience with the SAT. Can you guys list some options including the prices, especially if you’ve taken two different practices and feel that one is better than another?

My SAT tutor has a rule that when a probability problem involves "AND" you multiply, and when a probability problem involves "OR" you add. I wasn’t there for that class but I have the answers to the problems. I just don’t know how to get them. If you answer please show all steps of how you got the answer using the method my tutor uses.

Thanks!

Norma tosses 5 Mounds, 7 Almond Joys, and 4 Snickers into a bag.

1. What is the probability that Seymour will grab three Snickers and 1 mounds?

2. If he hates Snickers and will discard any Snickers he gets, but he will eat anything else, what’s the probability that the first bar he both grabs and eats will be a Mounds?

What about if you do these with or?

Thanks!
Actually Murf the Surf, I think you did something wrong there. The answers to these questions are:

1. 1/364
2. 5/12

Any other ideas on how to do this?

i’m taking SAT 1 exam in jan, and i was wondering what is a really very good book for that, is the official guide from college board the best??

I live in Southern California, and have seen many different prep courses like Kaplan, Elite, Revolution, Princeton Review and am wondering which one of these or another program would be best? Also, what course should I take, private tutoring, classroom, small group? All of this is very confusing. Finance is also a problem because I have a twin and we both need to take a course. So please let me know what is best!
Thankyou!!!

I used to play chess via messenger with a friend. Now when I send an invite, or he sends me an invite, I get a little square with a red x in the top left corner of the screen. JAVA is installed correctly, at least according to the test on the java website. Please help! This is really frustrating! (months ago it worked, then it didn’t, then two weeks ago it worked, and now it doesn’t.)
All this trouble started when I got a new laptop with Vista…
help, please!
thanks!

I’m looking at a used 17" imac on ebay…here’s the link…

I’m a design student and on a budget. I really like macs and I use them all the time a school. This computer has all of the software I’ll need and it looks like it could be a really great buy. I’m just not sure I want to sacrifice the mobility of a laptop for a desktop. Plus, there is no warranty.

The HP PC I’m looking at is really nice. It’s ,000 and would be able to do what I want it to, but I would have to purchase the Adobe Creative Suite (which won’t be too bad since I can get it for 0 with the student discount). Also, I really don’t want to deal with viruses. My Toshiba got hit this past March and I had to completely wipe the hard drive and re-install xp to even get things up and running again.

Here’s the link to the HP:

What would you do? I’m not sure. Thanks for your input.

i’ve heard that the East and West coast colleges look more at the SAT than the ACT. is that true?
i’m about to be a junior and i’ve taken the ACT once and got a 29, which i don’t think is bad for a first time. i wanna take it again once more and the SAT at least twice.
i’m debating what test to take Kaplan classes for and I’m not really sure.. any input? thanks (:

Hello. I’m looking at SAT prep classes because I wish to increase my score. I was thinking of getting a private tutor because I think I need the one-on-one attention or maybe a smaller class of like 4-8 students. I already took the Kaplan course and my score went up 200 points during the course, but on the actual test, it returned to the original score. So, I was wondering what is the best course? I was looking into Sylvan, Huntington, Revolution Prep, The Princeton Review, or just finding a tutor.

Any suggestions?

Im planning to take the SAT the first week of May but I dont know when or how to start studying. I have the recent SAT study guide book and i guess a few sources online.
