Yeah, but what are the chances he's really Adish Kasi of Massachusetts?

And what are the chances that I'm actually telling the truth about flipping back ? ;). Anything goes on the internet.

What program do you use for the Ti-89? Let me get a link. Or are you just talking about the built in algebra computing feature?
Yeah the built in algebra system... Solve and Factor - Also does systems of equations. Why spend the time acutally thinking about a problem when you can push a few buttons and get the result? Of course you need the ability to actually comprehend the problem. For some of the geometry ones if you've got extra time and you're stuck, use Cabri Geometry. It's time consuming but it works well as an approximation tool as a last resort.

I'd say the chances are 100%. Who's going to lie and say they cheated on the SAT if they didn't do it?

I'm taking the PSAT next week, and it's not supposed to be more than 3 hours. What's funny though, I have a practice PSAT test (full test too)...and it looks pretty easy. Practice test for a Practice test. Yay.

It gives you a way to figure out the score on your own for the practice PSAT...but it can only get to around 270. I wonder how I could "convert" that to an estimate on how I would do on the SAT (because the PSAT is supposedly extremely similar to the SAT).

uhh... it should only get to 240... not 270. And the SAT is out of "240" (2400).
