PostHeaderIcon How do I grade my Practice Test out of the Kaplan SAT Prep Book?

Browse the site to learn more about psat prep course, gmat prep exam, act preparation classes, college board sats and more

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 have the Kaplan Premiere SAT book of 2010 and I have been taking practice tests out of it nonstop. I can’t seem to find out how to see what my grade would be if it were a real SAT. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

PostHeaderIcon Is there a program for Windows XP that will roll back the computer on shutdown?

I am a teacher at a school who’s IT department does NOT allow us to install any software on their precious computers. My textbook teacher’s edition came with software question banks that I would like to use. Is there some way that, aside from uninstalling the exam creation program every time, my shutting down the computer would roll back the laptop so that it never "knew" I had installed and created a test on the computer? Mostly I use my home computer for such things, but I’d like a solution that wouldn’t have the wrath of the IT department come down on my head (you should have seen what resulted from me installing FireFox) at the school.

Thanks.

PostHeaderIcon Connecting xbox 360 using your laptop problem?

I am trying to connect my xbox using my wireless adapter in my laptop. I know it is a fairly simple process of enabling the ICS on the LAN connection. When I attempt to check the box the message I receive is "ICS cannot be enabled, A LAN connection is already configured with the IP address that is required for automatic IP addresses." I have no idea what to do. I know there is a way to use an ethernet cable from laptop to Xbox 360 but I cannot fix this problem. I also know you can bridge the wireless connection in your laptop to your LAN which I tried but that would connect either. When I tried on xbox it failed the IP test. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I DO NOT want to spend 99 on that rip off wireless adapter…

PostHeaderIcon Would it be better to give an IQ test rather than the SAT test for U.S. College Admission?

An IQ test presumably measures inherent intelligence, and the SAT was originally intended to do just that. An IQ test would eliminate unfair advantages gained from students who can afford expensive test prep. as well as those trained to do well on the test for years versus those who are too poor or too disadvantaged.

Opinions?
I am fromt he U.S. and my question was not on whether I should send my IQ test scores to my colleges as well but more an opinion on whether an IQ test should be given over an SAT test from college admission XD. Moreover, some IQ tests test spatial intelligence (your interpretation of shapes etc.) and artistic intelligence as well. Also, athletic minds are judged already in admission when couches of top universities (or scoutss) sit in on some games of high school athletes as well as judging their athletic records.
bah some grammer errors* mmmm.

PostHeaderIcon Would a SAT prep class help with ASVAB score?

My fiance took the asvab and scored a 32 when he needed a 50 to enlist. We are trying to look for a tutor but have had no luck. I was wondering if a sat prep class teaches similar stuff to the problems on the ASVAB. He needs help on math and english parts of the test. And the asvab study books are not what we are looking for.

PostHeaderIcon I work for an online SAT prep company. We launched recently but our product hasn’t taken off. Any ideas?

We’ve had some sales and marketing difficulty. For one, we haven’t figured out the best marketing strategies to drive people to our site. Second, we haven’t been able to convert prospective clients into customers.

That said, I’d like to get some insight from Yahoo Answers! experts on how I can help to drive business.

To let you in on a little more about our company, we offer a video-based online test prep service. We have hundreds of video lessons and explanations to help students with their Math, Critical Reading, and Writing development. Currently, we offer SAT and PSAT courses. Also, from our research, we’ve found that the the target customers are high school parents and students.

Thanks for your help!

PostHeaderIcon how to find cell reception, without using a cell phone?

Looking to get new cell phone service and I live out in the country a ways. I want to test how well various services work reception wise at my home and at my work. I don’t want to buy a phone until I know it will work in the places I want to use it. Is there a device that can show cell reception signals for various network frequencies. What I’m looking for would be similar to the wifi detectors you can get for a laptop that show wifi signals without having to use your computer.

PostHeaderIcon ACT v.s. SAT test? Difference? Most important? Harder?

*What are the main differences between the SAT and ACT?
*Which one is more important (I am college-bound)?
*Which is more difficult?

From what I’ve seen while flipping through AP exam prep books, I do like the Barron’s books, so…

*Should I invest in a Barron’s ACT and Barron’s SAT prep book?
*If I should, should I get them with or without CD’s?

I only want to buy them if they’ll really be helpful, as my AP teachers have required their students to purchase some sort of AP test booklet, and I’m taking 4 AP classes at the moment, so I’m trying to save from whatever angle I can, but if they’ll really help me…

PostHeaderIcon Do you have to use the insurance offered at work?

So Bank of America’s insurance lately changed. We went to Aetna insurance which is absolutely terrible. It doesn’t cover anything!!!!
MY mom got a blood test and had to pay 0. WTF i could’ve bought my new laptop..

So I am asking does she have to use Aetna health or can she go back to United Health Care.

PostHeaderIcon How do I test the leads of a laptop?

I have a laptop with a long story, but to make it short I am able to boot and use the machine while on ac power. When I remove the ac adapter the comp dies immediately. The battery never changes from 36% as long as its plugged in. I figure the connector on the mobo that attaches to the battery is the culprit, and I have a multi meter to use, I just don’t know which contacts to test. It also may just be a bad mobo since while on that pc my router can’t hold an internet signal for more than a few seconds. On my other laptop the internet has been fine. Does that sound like a bad mobo or am I being an idiot?
I should add that this problem existed previously, I bought a new battery which didn’t work. Then I bought a new ac adapter that didn’t work. Then I bought a new mobo that didn’t work, which led me back to the ac adapter. Turned out the one I bought was bad out of the box. So I tried one a friend had, it worked with the new battery and mobo. So I figured if that adapter worked maybe the old mobo would too. The old mobo has an upgraded video card. I threw the old one back in and bam, problem solved. But now about a week later I’m starting to run into the same problem again. I’m just confused about why it started working again with the new adapter then without provocation stopped again.

Also, the first time the problem arose it started with the battery not charging, then escalated to the battery draining while plugged into ac. Hence the new batt first, then the new ac adapter.

It’s also a dell which sucks, but it has a good processor and a decent video card.

PostHeaderIcon Can I put a new video card in my Acer Aspire 4730z Laptop?

I have an Acer Aspire 4730z and it won’t run games for anything. I use a website to test my specifications for certain games and EVERYTIME everything is GTG except for my video card. Very annoying… How can I get a new card for my system?

PostHeaderIcon SAT Prep Junior Question?

Hi. I’m really starting to think about college, and the applications process, etc. I’ve just started my junior year in high school, and I’m wondering what I can do to prepare for taking the SAT sometime in the spring. I want to get my score as high as I possibly can. I plan on taking a prep course, and taking more practice SAT tests, but what else can I do? Would it be helpful to get a prep book now and look at that every week? I also want to do well on the PSAT if I can. Any recommendations?
Thanks! :)

PostHeaderIcon How do I know my laptop’s hardware will be compatible with Linux? (Specifically, Ubuntu)?

I’ve read that the best way would be to test drive Ubuntu using a LiveCD… but how would that help me find out anything?
Is there a checklist of functioning drivers that I should be looking for?

PostHeaderIcon Where would I find a notebook tip for my laptop?

I’ve went on www.igo.com and found nothing for my Toshiba Satellite A215-S5850 and I was wondering where I could find one for it for a cheap price. I tried the S5 notebook test already because it was a tip for the model no. closest to my laptops’. My laptop has been dead almost a year now because I lost the charger at a hotel and I’m a High School student eager to use it versus the desktop I’m using now. Your answers are much appreciated.

PostHeaderIcon Math 2(subject test) Prep book?

What SAT Subject Test: Math II prep book would you say is the best? Thank you very much

PostHeaderIcon How can I do well in the SAT tests?

I will be taking both the SAT and the SAT Subject Tests in Maths, Chem, and Biology this year. I want to do really well in them. However, I’ve heard that some books are really bad for SAT Prep and that the actual exam is harder. How can I still do well if this is the case? Additionally, could you recommend any good resources (books and websites) for doing well in all of these tests?

PostHeaderIcon I have Vista but can’t hear anyone in Skype & Google, they do hear me, anyone know what I can do to fix this?

PostHeaderIcon Help deciding on which SAT prep book to use for 08-09?

so basically I’ve narrowed it done to three: RocketReview, Princeton Review, and the Official SAT prep book

From what I’ve read, the RocketReview book seems very good, especially because it caters to the new SAT test. However, since it’s relevantly new, not many people know about it and I’ve heard it has mistakes. Almost everyone I’ve talked to recommends the Princeton Review book, but it seems like RocketReview may have some new, innovative tips that the Princeton Review lacks. Overall, however, the Princeton Review seems like a safe choice. Lastly, there is the Official SAT prep book. To me, it makes a lot of sense to buy this one, because the practice tests are written by the same people who write the real tests. Yet, I have not heard to many good things about this book. It is probably my third choice as of now. It would be so helpful if you could take some time to recommend a book to me, and also to tell me why that book is a good choice or why the others are bad.
Also, it might help if you tell me a bit about your experience. Additionally, I am also considering taking the ACTs. So if you have a recommendation for a book for that test that would be great. Thank you so much.

PostHeaderIcon How do I use the recovery partition from one hard drive on a new replacement hard drive?

I have a strange issue. I have a Compaq laptop, and when I test the hard drive through the BIOS, it is returning a failure error. The recovery partition is on this hard drive, and the drive is still accessible and usable for the most part. How can I replace the hard drive and still use the recovery partition to reload Windows?

PostHeaderIcon Which SAT test prep books are the best?

I haven’t taken the SATs yet, and I want to score at least 2000. I know I can easily achieve 1900, but I want to challenge myself.

I recently came to the US from Australia and as the teaching styles are quite different, it was a bit hard for me to adjust, particularly in math. If the test prep book explains mathematical concepts thoroughly, that would be extremely helpful.

Thanks in advance! :)
