<p>To the people with their "I got an 800 without" stories: we are all proud of you.</p>
<p>However.</p>
<p>We are not you, and need all the extra help we can get. We wouldn't be posting something like this if we could all go and breeze an 800 without worry. I don't necessarily agree with programming these things in (though I do it, sometimes, when the situation warrants -- still, if the SAT doesn't allow you to bring in paper notes, why should having notes in a calculator be allowed?), but the IDEA is there, and you're not helping much by insinuating various things about YOU and YOUR experience and how everyone else should feel because of it.</p>
