tbh this is a stupid idea

1. The Bluebook app is only available on Windows, Mac OS and iPad (no Linux support)
2. Desmos calculator refused to work on tor (I don't want to use clearnet and tor at the same time!!!!)
3. You need a (((Windows / MacOS))) device to test. Luckily you can borrow (((Chromebook))) from your school.

oh, also battery should hold charge for at least 3 hr

Lol, that's retarded. There is apparently no sound or video questions, so the format doesn't require a computer. I initially thought they wanted to save the cost of test centers, but
>Students will take the test at a school or test center, not at home.
What's the point of making it digital then?
>Students will have access to a series of tools through the digital testing app, including a timer, a calculator, a reference sheet, and a flagging tool to mark questions for review.
All of which are more convenient as separate tools. They themselves recommend test-takers to bring their own calculator.

Also,
>and students will not be able to see their battery percentage while in the digital testing app.
Why did they go out of their way to do that? Do they just want people who use an old laptop to go fuck themselves? I'm sure that app is extremely bloated and drains battery way faster than it should too.

>Desmos calculator refused to work on tor (I don't want to use clearnet and tor at the same time!!!!)
Why would you want to use an (((online calculator))) in the first place? You can buy a second-hand ti84 for 15€, or an 83 for 5€ (the latter might not be allowed for exams though). I don't know burger prices, but I don't see why they should be more expensive.

That said, I'm glad I don't live in your shithole.

P37851 Did you take SAT pilot? If you did, the calculator was based on Desmos. Yes, I have TI 84, Ti-nSpire and TI84 CE (these are SAT approved). I found the digital test less stressful than the Paper-based though (probably because it's the SAT pilot, not the actual test).

Do they just want people who use an old laptop to go fuck themselves?

New laptop hardware is full of spywares unlike old laptops. BIOS configuration is also easier on old laptops. But battery life sucks. They really want you to get a Windows or Mac laptops.

No thanks, I think I am going to finish the test this school year.

>Did you take SAT pilot?
No. As I said, I am not a burger. All our tests are done on paper (yes, even when they're about programming).
>the calculator was based on Desmos
wtf, it's not within the application? You're literally using a computer to connect to a remote server to ask it to make calculations that could have been done locally. It doesn't look that hard to embed geogebra (if you need graphs) or a python shell (if you don't) into the application.
>I found the digital test less stressful than the Paper-based though
Uh, is that the sort of tests you have to take multiple times? I thought it was to enter university?

P37853
Eh, whatever. OP said you could borrow a computer from your school for the purpose of the test.
