<p>Exactly, and according to today's society, Frost's advice of "taking the road less traveled" would actually mean learning the material. Our generation is constantly looking for shortcuts or what-not to be able to get around the learning part. The thirst for knowledge is lessening, and not because people are actually quenching it. It is because people are already preoccupied with so many other exams or work, or they just don't want to study but rather want to spend more time in front of the tv or with their psp's, etc. </p>
<p>So take the time out to actually study, and the hardest part is actually setting the time aside. Once you actually sit down and start studying it, then you just get into the flow and it doesn't seem so bad, it might even seem fun, as if your playing a game and trying to get the highest score, trying to beat those idiots at CollegeBoard. So, in the end, Nike says it best, JUST DO IT.</p>
<p>TI-83 has PolySimult. I really don't see why an 89 is more useful than an 83.</p>
<p>Well, I am not going to speak for Nike, BUT...</p>
<p>I sometimes work with blue-chippers, and I can tell you that sitting and studying, really steeping in the material, aint gonna happen. So for those people, you need a sub-optimal strategy by your context, but optimal for theirs.</p>
<p>I majored on Philosophy and Biochemistry as an undergraduate; I profoundly understand the lack of intellectual curiosity in the contemporary US. But I cant change that, what I can change are student's scores. And that my friend is what I will JUST DO.</p>
<p>What is polysimult? It solves any univariate problem? Is it installed on the 83's or the 84's?</p>
<p>Go ahead, just do it. But "my friend," please be aware that to truly score the best score, doing the hard work, like working carefully through a thick SAT book, and then also purchasing Kaplan workbooks for additional exercises on a section in which you are weak, are the only options. When you say you can change students' scores, go right ahead, but you will only go so far with what you think to be the optimal approach. For I am not saying you have to study hard, I'm saying you have to study smart, and to do such is to cater to your own personal needs to the FULLEST extents, something of which you think is unnecessary. One can use shortcuts, but only in conjuction with the real stuff, the knowledge. The SAT is designed so that you shouldn't even have to use the calculator for any questions, nonetheless use fancy gizmos and whatever else like this polysimult.</p>
