SAT Preparation Tools

Few prospects are as frightening to college-bound students as taking the SAT. From an admissions
perspective, your concern is not without merit. After years of hard work, your odds
of getting into a top-tier school may ultimately hinge on your performance on this marathon, one-
day exam. Not surprisingly, the market is filled with books, tapes, CDs and training classes
for the SAT. Despite the differences in format and price, the underlying approach for these products
is eerily similar; students are advised to read an 800- page book, memorize several thousand vocabulary
words and review every math topic known to man.

Sadly, the results of this marathon approach are rarely successful. Even worse, this tedious cramming is largely
unnecessary. Although the SAT requires an excellent math background and a fairly sophisticated
vocabulary, it is a highly predictable test that uses the same type of questions (and the same
clues and traps) over and over again. For diligent test takers, this predictability offers a great
competitive advantage, if you know how to harness it.

Ironically, most SAT guides do NOT teach their readers how to do this. In fact, from our perspective, the
most popular books are as onerous and intimidating as the exam itself. Although many of them offer helpful
suggestions, the typical test taker does not have the time to wade through hours of sample exams (with
overly easy “mock” questions), to get to the most usable and practical advice. Far too often, students toss
the guides aside after a few hundred pages, without getting the details they need to attain a top
score. Inevitably, they walk out of the SAT frustrated and disappointed, wishing there had been a
better way to prepare for such a life-changing exam.

Ultimately, that is why we wrote the following efficient, well-organzied digital publications - there IS a better
way to conquer the SAT without driving yourself crazy. To learn more about these guides - and to view sample
