<p>soo long…</p>
<p>thanks for the guide =]</p>
<p>so apart from the BB, which book would u recommend for practice tests?</p>
<p>
No, 5620 would NOT work. Read the question again.</p>
<p>I have a question regarding college admission: I am going to be a junior next year, and I am in the IB program. For junior year math, we can choose between pre-calc junior year, and calc senior year (with some statistics) and pre-stat junior year with stat senior year (with an intro to calc). I chose the latter, because math is not my forte, but I am good at critical reading and analyzing data. Was this a wise choice on my part? Will this negatively impact my chances for admission? I am interested in law and politics or a medical career, btw.</p>
<p>Oh, and I love this thread! The info is very useful and concise</p>
<p>Please answer nkhlgeorge’s question. The BB doesn’t offer as many practice tests as I’d like.</p>
<p>Silverturtle- We have just returned from our summer vacation and I have read your new guide. Bravo, on such a thorough and well researched guide/booklet. It is great that CC now has a more current guide for students to work through that accurately reflects what they will find on the “new” SAT. </p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, what APs do you plan to take this year? Sorry if this is a redundant question.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Why not? At least one of the numbers is 6, and 5260 is even.</p>
<p>The possibilities are represented by 562[0, 2, 4, 6, 8] and 5[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9]26. That’s 14 possibilities (which we already know is the correct answer).</p>
<p>Well put together; however, I don’t think The College Board would appreciate you reproducing some of their January 2010 Questions, as that might discourage some potential buyers from buying the Q&As. Plus, I believe it’s illegal?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It wouldn’t have discouraged anyone if you hadn’t told them. 
Plus, I don’t believe that QAS packets can be purchased legally online, can they?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not according to the packet itself.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There are the three official practice tests online that I linked to. You can also try some old QAS packets if you happen to have some. The Online Course is another source of official tests.</p>
<p>Ordering past PSAT’s is not a bad idea either.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Colleges like to see that you have taken the most rigorous schedule possible. However, sometimes concessions must be made if you do not believe that you can succeed in a more challenging class.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I will PM you.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I was just saying that as a heads up for those who were going to buy the 2010 January Q&As or have them but haven’t used them yet. It would be quite a disappointment for one to do your practice questions and then the 2010 January Exam and find out that a lot of the critical reading questions were similar. Sure, they may have already taken the exam, but later on it is quite doubtful that they will remember every question. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>They can be ordered by anyone who took the exam via mail, but why does that matter? Heh.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Heh, I’m not sure what packet you’re looking at, but I have the 2010 January Q&A packet right in front of me and on every page of the exam it says “Unauthorized copying or reuse of any part of this page is illegal”, plus on the cover it says “NOT FOR REPRODUCTION AND RESALE”. Isn’t it pretty much common knowledge that copying anything out of a book and then distributing it is illegal? And you said you got a 2400… heh heh. </p>
<p>I understand that you want to provide practice passages that are as “real” as possible (as passages made by any other company other than the College Board are not that great to practice with) but I don’t think that such an intention would justify doing anything illegal. Perhaps a better route would have been to simply suggest using the Blue Book for practice passages.</p>
<p>Anywho, I recommend you have an administrator/moderator edit your post to remove the copied questions, just so nothing gets too ugly and this beautiful thread is not lost.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m not a lawyer, but I don’t believe that I have violated either of those clauses. I did not copy or reuse any part of the book; I reproduced it. And it says that reproduction and resale is illegal, not that reproduction or resale is illegal.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m not either, but it seems pretty obvious that copying questions out of a book that you could only get if you took the SAT and then ordered it from The College Board would be illegal.</p>
<p>Perhaps you are correct, in fact I hope so, as it would provide excellent practice for everybody. I’ll shoot The College Board an email when I get a chance to find out for certain.</p>
<p>In any case, what I did is no different from what many thousands of other CC’ers have done by posting Blue Book questions and asking for assistance. The College Board has done nothing to curb that, nor would I see them as having a real reason to. :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m not coping them; I’m reproducing them, which they did not indicate as being prohibited.</p>
<p>Heh, the old “since everyone else is doing it, it’s fine”, nice.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That was not precisely my point.</p>
