I know some people who get sent to writing camps and SAT stuff and I feel like so unacomplished like "why arent I enrolled"? Those cost quite a bit of money dont they? Do they actually help alot? Does that mean those who dont go to those camps fail at life? My brother didn’t go to any of those and he got 1450 out of 1600 when he was in high school :/ Im just wondering if im really missing out?

I keep getting the message NTRLD missing and I keep having to format and reinstalling windows xp. at the xp setup window I can’t use the "R" Key to repair it, my only option is to partition and install xp.. after I get this message NTRLD missing I try to boot from Harddrive and it mentions a problem with cable, but it doesn’t say much, just error on cable or something like that.
I’ve already tested my harddrive and it’s working fine.. How do I test the cable on the harddrive.. I really need help here as i’m at uni and I need my laptop to study cisco and I keep having to format to gain my OS. Thanking you in advance

I need help on deciding where to go for SAT prep classes. I am currently a junior in High School and when I took the SAT in December I scored a 1570 on it. After seeing this I realized that I couldn’t study alone and that I need help.

My original plan was to attend Elite’s summer boot camp which is ,200 (which is overpriced IMO). Friends tell me that all they do there is give you a crap load of work and test and expect you to do good on the SAT after that. My friend has the same GPA as me and got the same exact score on the SAT and after taking this course he achieved over 2000.

On the other hand I’ve heard things about Revolution Prep. They are much cheaper and they don’t give you a lot of stuff to do, but rather techniques and strategies to beat the SAT. I’ve only heard from one person that he was able to get 1900 after taking a 6 week course.

I need your suggestions on which of these I should go to, or any other test prep classes for the summer. Please don’t give me links to goggle searching "SAT Prep Classes" I can do that myself. Also please do not say "SAT Prep Courses are a waste of money, don’t do them" because your not contributing to my question.

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.

Hello,

I’m a sophomore in high school and I want some tips and advice

for my preparation for SAT

I’m planning to take it in my senior year, Sept, Oct, Nov.

I took MOCK SAT at the beginning of the year and my score

was: math 700 reading 500 essay-> I didn’t get my result back

and I’m assuming it’s about 500 also.

I’m setting my goal at about 2200(the higher the goal the better)

I need some advice and tips to get there

English is my second language and my vocab’s really weak

How should I study for it? Should I read magazines? or

Should I study one of those "SAT VOCAB" books?

And I also need improvement in my essay

How should I prepare for that??

Also With 1 1/2 years left til I take the SAT do you think I can

get there??

Thanks

P.S. when you guys put tips and stuff, please tell how you studied and your results in SAT and your school GPA.

I am going to buy either the HP 17" Pavilion Intel Core 2 Duo T5450 1.67GHz Laptop or HP HP 15.4" Pavilion Turion X2 TL-60 2.0GHz Laptop or other HP or other brand laptops. In your opinion, which laptop is the best for me to use it? I am just going to use the laptop for school.

can someone help me calculate approximately how much this will all cost me together? its not the adding part i have trouble with its the shipping and handling…i dont know how much shipping and handling usually costs…nor have i ever ordered online so yeah…kinda newb..

also, for the ppl that took the SAT test already:

Do i really need to buy new study guides? Because i have some guides already but like problem is theyre not updated. its like from 2003 or 2005 or something..so is it nessesary to get new ones to update…or could i just compromise with the old ones?
response to: "21 weeks with baby #1" –> the reason why i dont get it from the library lies in my question. LOL i have the 2003 or 2005 version which is at the library. the library where i live havent updated their study guides. i wanted the current ones but undecisive about whether or not i actually need them.

I am going to take the SAT test soon.
To prepare for it, I’m thinking to buy the "The Official SAT Study Guide (TM)" and enroll in its online course, "The Official SAT Online Course™" (both by Collegeboard)..
I’m just wondering - has anyone tried the book and is it a good prep book? Also, anyone tried the online course? Does the online course prepare you well for the test? Is it worth its price?
Or do I have to take like real Saturday classes in order to do well on SAT?

For SAT II subject test, I’m planning to take Math, but I have no idea whether to take Math I or Math II. Is Math II a lot harder than Math I? What’s a good book to prepare me for either?
I might also take Chemistry. Is SAT II for Chemistry hard? Any book recommendation?

Only serious inputs please.
Thank you and good day.

Thank you very much.
I aprreciate any suggestion by you.
