Your SAT is coming up. You’re worried that you won’t do as well as you need to do to get into the college of your choice. You’re stressed because you’ve got to study for it while still holding down good grades at school and trying to have a social life. Besides, you’re not very good at these kinds of tests. You always end up guessing and you never know how to guess well.
To top it off, you go to the bookstore to find a study guide only to find that all the study guides out there are…HUGE! They’re like telephone directories. The information is overwhelming. If only there was a study guide out there that gave you all the information you need without taking hours and hours of your time.
Student, meet this book. Score Higher on the SAT. A study guide for the new SAT, this book will give you all the important information you need without burying you under it. With just over 260 pages, Score Higher on the SAT gives you the inside scoop about what colleges are looking for, what you can expect on test day, and even how to guess well during your test.
No lightweight on information, this book includes complete Math, English, and Essay practice tests with answer keys, along with grammar help, and lots of pointers along the way. And for those of you die-hard stressers, there is even a Q & A section answering all the worries you really face (even down to “I showed up to the test naked”).
Score Higher on the SAT is broken down into several easy-to-digest sections that can be read, practiced, and mastered in just a fraction of the time it takes to even find the information you’re looking for in one of those other mammoth study guides. A student can easily systematically work through this book in bits and pieces and feel fully prepared come test day. And if you’re wondering when you should begin studying for the SAT (and at what pace), there is even a section for you that looks at the schedules and study styles of four types of students (from Ivy League or bust to Slacker) and gives a suggested year-long study calendar that will likely suit you fine.
Whether it’s samples of essays, testimonials from students who’ve been there/tested that, or just an inside look at what types of questions to expect on the new SAT, you will find it all in Score Higher on the SAT. Now, go get studying!
