My son is homeschooled, so his SAT score is going to be weighed heavily in college admissions, since most homeschool classes don't have grades, and schools are reluctant to accept "mom grades" especially for subjects which have been taught unconventionally. He did extremely well on his PSAT, but his first SAT scores were disappointing, in particular because a) the essay is like nothing any decent writer should produce and b) the questions are based on rote learning, not critical thinking.So you can rage against the test, or you can learn the game and win it. My son wanted to do the latter, and this book had the strategy to help him win. He loves tests, he just needs to know what the field is like. So, thanks to the strategy here, my son learned how to create a template for the essay, and built his own arsenal of $10 words he could liberally sprinkle through it. As for other tests, it was useful that Shaan identifies the kinds of questions the test will ask so you know to study towards that. Other guides will repeat what the College Board says it wants students to know; this one tells you what they're _really_ looking for, so you can focus your study efforts appropriately.The book also stresses the importance of treating SAT preparation as yet another high school subject, and the importance of devoting time to it. Besides reviewing the strategies in this book, my son practiced pumping out 25-minute essays to previous prompts 2-3 times a week, and took a full practice SAT test at least once a week for 4 months.Nonetheless, we were all floored when his scores came in last month, and he scored a perfect 800-800-800, including scores of 6 from every reader who looked at his essay. This SAT preparation book was the only one he used, together with practice tests and essay prompts off the internet. While it's just a score, it will open doors for him, and get admissions officers to look seriously at his other accomplishments and academic work. I'm really grateful Shaan Patel wrote this book, and I can vouch for its effectiveness.
As a former Kaplan SAT Instructor and professional SAT teacher for the past 10 years, I've seen this book change dozens of students' lives. My Kaplan students used to average 100-200 point improvements. Using this book, my students are now averaging an amazing 400 point improvement. I teach classes of 10-12 students at a time, as well as private tutoring. I've switched over to using this book as my primary instruction manual for both. I love that the writer wasn't naturally a test-taking genius. His book says he scored in the 1700's his Junior year, and jumped to a 2400 by learning how to play the SAT game and beat the test.Essay: My students consistently jump from an average of 6/12 to 11/12 on the essays. Telling students to memorize several pre-planned phrases and paragraphs for the essay? Genius! I can't fathom why other big name test prep companies don't recommend this.Writing: You memorize the 15 writing tools taught in this book, and it doesn't matter if you've never paid attention in English class. You'll know everything you need to ace the writing section. I've had 4 students score perfect 800's on the real SAT since using this book. I had a foreign exchange student who spoke very limited English break 700 in the Writing section by memorizing these 15 writing tools.Reading: The "line specific question first" strategy is my favorite. Why doesn't anyone else teach this? It seems so obvious now that I've learned it. My average improvement is about 120 points per student.Math: Some of the strategies are similar to those taught by Princeton Review, Barrons, and Kaplan. But there are also some excellent new pointers (circling the unknown, making difficult problems simple, etc.) that are really innovative.Overall, probably the best SAT book I've read. Any prep book can help average and below average students improve. This book helps them improve a ton. But my weakness as a Kaplan teacher was always helping high-end students improve. Once kids approached 2000, they usually plateaued. Now I have no problem assuring my 1800-2000 scorers that they'll be able to jump into the 2200+ range.Ryan FitzgibbonsLas Vegas, NV
Quite simple. Good for strategies AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW ALL OF THEM. Before the test, make sure to keep the strategies in mind. Grammer is the easiest and most helpful part for me to bring my score up. Hit a 2100 from a 1940 after taking some practice tests and using strategies/practice from this book.
Before using this book, I had tried implementing various strategies to increase my scores in the three different categories, which ultimately did little for me. Upon taking the exam for the third time, I found this book and saw that the engaging and extremely helpful tricks and tips helped my confidence level increase, along with my scores by more than 200 points! It's filled with plenty of problem sets and examples that allowed me to understand and pinpoint my weaknesses so I could feel more prepared and confident going into the test. Truly taking the time to thoroughly read this book before my test helped me in so many ways!
