Learning to Sat test entails daily intensive practice. Whether you are taking a course or you don’t, practice at home with yourself going over and over questions that are hard in general or hard for you and solving test is proven to be very efficient way og learning given that you need to learn a massive amount of information in a relatively short time.
The sat questions we provide are so diverse so even if you think you already covered a certain field of knowledge we will surprise you with a tricky question that has a twist that you might miss.
Before we proceed to the concrete learning and practicing we will provide you with information about the test itself. Sat test measures the learning ability of the student.
Most of the questions are multi-type questions with one or more right answers but there are also subjective questions like writing an essay. The critics of this test say that it is culturally biased. I.e. this test is adapted to the western white student and doesn’t reflect the ability of wide groups. However, as for today it is widely accepted in the USA and is a entrance certificate to universities.
The test is comprised of a few sections:
Critical reading-this section includes reading comprehension and sentence completion. This section examines your ability to understand text and your vocabulary. This section is a multiple-choice questions.
Writing section: This section consists of two parts: multiple-choice questions and open question. The first part is finding the right errors in a sentence and the second part is writing an essay about a given subject.
Math: in this section there are also two type of questions: one, there is a mathematical problem that has four answers, only one is correct. You have to choose the answer out of the four options. The other type of questions is questions with no given answers, you have to calculate and reach the solution and fill it into a special grid.
I hear Kaplan, Borran’s, and Princeton’s Review.
i dont read that much so i need a lot of help on vocabulary.
which book is the best nd most accurate for the SAT test?
I get the need to access information quickly, but other than that I don,t understand why a student would need their own machine if they attended a private day, or boarding school. I am a Freshman this incoming year, and am considering attending boarding school next year or the year after, as a Sophmoore, or Junior. All the school I am currently looking at require laptops.
Can someone fill me in on why they mainly require them? It seems as though (throughout what I have read, and heard,) that they mainly serve as a distraction in the classroom, with students IMing and searching the web/playing games when they should be focused and paying attention. Don’t get me wrong I love to do it too while at home, but it just doesn’t seem suitable for a place of learning. It also bothers me that test scores from students who have switched from public school to private school, their state and national scores have dropped significantly.
Laptops have their place and I can see the benefits of having one at school, when not improperly used.
Can anyone explain? (Feel free to share experiences if you would like.)
I’m using Gurber’s Complete Preparation for the New SAT. It was fully revived and updated for the 2005 SAT. Could I still use it to help me review for the 2008 SAT? It received a lot great reviews!
I would like to take SAT prep classes in the summer (I’m currently a sophomore). Which program has the best results? For example: Princeton Review, Kaplan, Sylvan, a private tutoring place, etc?
Looking to buy a laptop that will be used primarily for:
1. School work
2. Photo and music uploads and downloads
3. Burning/Creating Music and Movies
I do play games on the computer but not a daily thing.
Looking for something that obviously has a lot of memory, clarity, efficient, light weight.
I have a Dell PC now (about 5-6 years old) that I want to keep and use in conjuction with the laptop. Would like a MAC but not sure about its compatibility with my PC
Looking for suggestions - I do not have thousands of dollars to spend - possibly looking into refurbished laptops? Thanks in advance
I am planning on taking a SAT prep course. I am trying to chose between the Elite Educational Institute and the Excel Test Prep. Can someone please tell me which one is better at preparing its students for the SAT? It would be really helpful if you could also include the prices for each session for each program.
Or you can tell me another program that’s better than these two.
An error message precedes the booting up of the computer indicating "PXE-E61 Media Test Failure, Check Cable. The black screen then asks me to insert system disk. I used a boot disk for XP and received additional instructions, but no repair. I want to invistigate all mechanical connections within. Unit has been handled roughly.
I just hate it so much. My tutor isn’t helping me the littlest bit, we have TONS of homework from it and do next to nothing in our sessions. I dread them every week and they make me want to cry all weekend knowing that i have them on sunday nights. My tutor can’t physically laugh either, which is the creepiest thing ever. Its not that he’s just very focused on work its that he cannot laugh. He’s like some kind of SAT robot. Anyway, I just want to quit and i just feel like it could NEVER be worth the pain to get great scores. I’m going to music schools which only ask for the SAT scores if you want scholarships. They dont even matter.
I don’t know much about laptops. So, as I’m only 16 and I’m going into the 11th grade, I will only need this laptop for my remaining 2 years left of high school. After that, I will buy a laptop of more quality.
Until then, my laptop that I will want to purchase will have to be in the price range of below 0. Main things I will be using the laptop will be just for school work, and for music (I have only 40gb of music).
Could you please help me find a laptop?
I was thinking about this laptop, what do you think?

Well, I’m going to be taking the SAT Subject Tests for Math Level 2 and Physics and I would like to know which prep book (for both subjects) out of these three is the best: Kaplan, Princeton Review and Barron’s. Can you please give me your opinions on each company’s prep book for each individual subject and/or your experiences using them?
I recently bought a used laptop, a Toshiba Tecra 9100. On startup, it will sometimes freeze before Windows XP can even load. If Windows does manage to load and I get to the desktop, it will freeze soon after. And this is if the laptop even starts up, sometimes I’ll press the power on button and the indicator light will come on, without any other sign of life. I then have to hold the button until the light goes off, then try again. I also don’t have any peripherals attached (mouse, wireless USB adapter, etc.), and it does this with the AC cord connected as well as disconnected.
I was just wondering if these laptops are known to ever experience these problems, because then when I get it repaired, I can point the technician in the right direction (resulting in me hopefully paying less in time saved). He estimated the work would cost 0 CAD, unless it took over an hour. He tested the hardrive and checked viruses for free, and found no problems.
Any info/ thoughts are appreciated, Thanks
Hi everyone, I am kinda new to this kinda stuff(For I am a foreign student planning to go to college in the U.S.) so I would like to know some stuff about the SAT, first about the the preparation; I don’t know how to prepare for this, and 2nd, the score I mean how low is a score of 800 and how high is 2400? could someone please help me!

If I decide to get a SAT tutor/program, who should I go to for that? What is the best SAT prep place? I live in Lawrenceville, Georgia, so anyone knw the best SAT prep places near there also?
