Ok. We all know the SAT is a huge scam, and the college board is a compromised crap organization. But, I need to take it anyways. It sayd bring a calculator. Do I bring my scientific calculator, or my Ti84 graphing calculator? |

When I took mine, I was allowed to use TI-84. I am pretty sure they still allow them. Here's a fact from my own experience. If you drop out of high school and go to a community or 2 year college, you can take a placement test if you don't have a GED. If you have over 30 credit hours with a minimum of 2.0 - 2.5 GPA no university will ask for your High School Transcript/GED, instead they will evaluate your admission per GPA basis. The main reason I am saying this is because most people don't know about this. |

It's supposed to be basic math (just up to algebra, pre-calc). The test really isn't that hard. I took it twice and scored about the same both times (1800 with writing included, about 600 per section). It's not that hard of a test. It's just long, boring, and tedious. Just move as fast as you can. If you can't answer a question, move onto the next one and go back to it later. Bring extra pencils. That's all I can think of for advice. |

Yeah, but Despite my grades; I'm not very good at testing. And it is a clear scam (to me at least) |

Whether or not they are a scam, they are a big factor in getting accepted in to top universities if you are looking to do that. |

First time can be a little difficult. Second time around, you'll have a better feel and should do better. Don't just take it once, especially if you don't do well on it. |

It's a pretty bad test in terms of how well it measures student aptitude, and there are some glaringly easy tricks you can do do ace it. IIRC I only missed one question on the math section, and then the same with the math subject test. |

84 works just fine, it's what I have. I did badly because I stabbed myself with a pencil right before it started. |
