My son wants to take some practice SATs... but the official Bluebook program from CollegeBoard does not support Linux:

https://bluebook.collegeboard.org/students/prepare-your-device/approved-devices

In fact, it doesn't even support personal Chromebooks (only institutionally managed ones). So none of the computers in my house can run this (they are all running Ubuntu, Debian, or ChromeOS)...

Very annoying.

Fortunately, I still have the SSD with Windows that my son used to use, so I put that into his desktop and now he is dual booting (using the UEFI boot menu)... for that killer Windows App, Bluebook, the practice SAT program :|

Approved Devices - Bluebook for Students | College Board

You can run Bluebook™ on a Windows or Mac device, an iPad, or a school-managed Chromebook that can connect to Wifi but NOT a mobile phone.
