<p>So today was actually my first day going to this "prestigious" SAT camp. The system is held once a week program for six weeks. The tuition of the "prestigious" SAT camp was about $83.00 Basically the teacher told us to go on collegeboard.com and do the free practice lessons for nearly 2 hours... After 2 hours of what I could of accomplished in my room, she starts telling us about her "amazing" strategies on the SAT. She tells us that if your weak in one area, simply do flawless on the other, so that your score somehow compensates....jesus christ???!!!! Are you serious? Apparently I'm practically teaching the class the math portion of the SAT, since the teacher's major is in english... This one girl asked what remainder meant......OMG.. Why did my parents pay for this crap?</p>
<p>ROFL! And that kids...is why you don't join SAT camps...lol</p>
<p>BTW, which SAT Camp is this?</p>

<p>lol! 10char</p>
<p>Haha, that was entertaining.</p>
<p>Maybe it's practice for dealing with inept people. That comes in handy in the real world, which we'll unfortunately have to face once SATs and college is all over!</p>
<p>Eighty three dollars is pretty cheap though... how long is the camp?</p>
<p>dude thats not even bad i went to this one sat class (never went again but it was 50 bucks) and the math lady tried to tell me that the area of a square is equal to the diagonal squared. i was like wow are u kidding me? ahahahhah and i told her she was wrong and she snapped and said she could prove it... but she never did lmao</p>
<p>Did she say (d^2)/2 ? Because the area of a square equals the diagnol squared divided by two.</p>
<p>screw SAT camp im gonna self-study this summer.</p>
<p>It don't find these camps to be helpful, unless you are a huge procrastinator who can not find the motivation to get yourself to work.</p>
<p>nope just diagonal sqaured. i told her diagonal squared/ 2 but she said i was wrong.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>And that is really easy to prove.</p>
<p>Evidently these teachers are the ones to prepare us for the sat....</p>
<p>Great post ArtOfMind_21 - LOL!!!! Would love to hear more about your experiences at the "prestigious" SAT camp.</p>
<p>haha, really? Should I post again after my monday session of the "prestigious" SAT camp? Who wants to hear more of my tedious life?</p>
<p>i paid close to $1000 for a princeton review sat class and i didn't learn anything. in fact, i feel stupider after going.</p>
<p>We are enthralled by your satirical but revealing anecdotes. Translation - tell us another story!!!!!</p>
<p>Yeah, tell us your story.</p>
<p>anyways, I took a testmasters course and I had by far the weirdest, most inappropraite teacher of all times.</p>
<p>here are some example problems he told us to sove.</p>
<p>becky is 15 years old and is going out with a guy who's 4 times her age. What is the answer?</p>
<p>There were 5 topless girls, 5 bottomless, and 5 both, and20 total.</p>
<p>How many prudes were wearing neither?</p>
<p>It turned out this guy was like an Iraw War veteran, and I suspect his mind got a little messed up lol</p>
<p>^ LOL!. i took a kaplan SAT course for 899 and the indian guy who taught it was really fat and had bad stinky breath (probably because of curry). he told the class he declined UC Berkeley for UCR because of cost. (BULL SHEEEET).</p>
<p>^ It's probably true. I mean, Harvard offered me a spot a couple years ago (practically begging me to come!), but I had to turn them down cuz of cost. And becuase I wanted to finish 5th grade with my classmates. ;) </p>
<p>Please, tell us more stories!</p>
<p>ok, this Monday is my next session, can't wait! haha.</p>
