Thanks! When I took SATs (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth) we were told that there was NO WAY to study for them...either you knew it after 11 years of school, or you didn't. We took the PSAT in junior year, SAT in senior, and that was it. Needless to say, there were very few perfect scores!

The SATs werent that hard actually...you just have to know how to take the damn thing...the math part is a BREEZE..especially with a calculator...all you have to do is try all the answers out..one of them HAS to be right...

The english..read the answers first..and then the question will make more sence...

I wont say what I got on the SATs..but I will say this..i got the same score TWICE...and I was accused of Cheating. (for those who are from the Tri-state area..you may recall a news article about it at the time)

Calculators? Hahaha!! It was strictly scratch paper, which had to be turned in when the test was over.

LoL..we were allowed to use ANYTHING as long as it didnt:

1.) make noise
2.) have a keyboard
3.) plug into the wall

So I used a programmable TI calc and basically made it so all I had to do was enter in the key #s...math took me 20 minutes ;)

I sure could have used a calculator when I took the GRE a couple months ago! My verbal and analytical scores were good but my quantitative results were embarrassing. I have a fancy graphing calculator that I rely on for everything - once I started the math part, I felt like a deer in headlights. :lol:

When i was in school, in my maths exam there were two questions which were impossible to answer correctly and the exam board lost half of the papers, so they just made them up! GREAT!:cry:
