Product Description:
Tackling one of the monster SAT test prep books is fine if you have a semester or more to prepare. But if you find yourself with less time than that or if you want to prep more efficiently, SAT Express provides the study framework. With an overview of the test, specific chapters on each part, and test-taking strategies, along with practice test/answer explanations, it has all the basics you expect. However, it also has a finely developed strategic planning sense about it. With study schedules for two months, one month, two weeks and even one week before the test, it targets prep work with an eye to efficiency, effectiveness, and (what I appreciate most) logic and reasoning skills. 300 pgs, pb. ~ Janice
