What ever method you use, calipers, electrical inpedence, hydrostatic etc just use the same method each time. That way even if not totally accurate it will give you a benchmark to work with.

Well what does everyone one feel is the most accurate test that you can buy (affodarble)?

underwater testing is supposed to be the most accurate BF test in the world and calipers are the most affordable lol.

Wong the most accurate test is actually a bone density scan..It will tell you exactly how much fat muscle etc you have..In my areas it is stupid expensive(280-300) I know some areas have it for 50-100 bucks..Def worth it to know..Oh I think it is called a DEXA scan..

Electronic scales (like Tanita) are the fastest way IMO. Accuracy is debatable of course but taking a reading at the same time of day is a must for comparison.
