Description
SAT test questions are designed with a progression in difficulty and include a certain number of questions that they expect very, very few students to be able to answer correctly. Most test prep books start with the general and don't even attempt to prepare students for that extremely difficult mini-percentage of questions. However, if you are a student who can zip through the basic questions, you may be one who has a real chance at achieving a 2400 score on the SAT a perfect score. This is the book that will help you. Ignoring the basic questions and the basic strategies, the focus of this book is on the especially tricky concepts and tough questions. Why the push for a perfect or near-perfect score? To get into the school of your dreams.
There are six sections:
- 1) An overview of the SAT
- 2) Critical reading how to handle the hardest Long and Short Reading Passages, with special attention on the difficult Narrative, Science, and Paired Passages. Also include the best strategies for the difficult Sentence Completion questions (those with two blank and hard vocabulary).
- 3) Writing section how to turn a so-so essay into a top-scoring one as well as the Writing Multiple Choice questions.
- 4) Math basics- effective strategies for handling the toughest math questions.
- 5) A follow-up section that deals with the trickiest "straight math" questions really tough questions that are not word problems.
- 6) A follow-up section that deals with the ugly SAT Math word problems.There are five strategy chapters within these various sections each with advanced level strategies ending with a practice set to apply them.
The best test preparation for high scorers involves a combination of taking real or simulated SATs under test-like conditions and studying the tips and techniques for acing the hard questions. This book is all about those tips and techniques. 395 pgs, pb ~ Janice
