ABOUT THIS BOOK

If you don’t have a pencil in your hand, get one now! Don’t just read this book—study it, scrutinize it! In

short, for the next six weeks, this book should be a part of your life.

Although the SAT is a difficult test, it is a very learnable test. This is not to say that the SAT is

“beatable.” There is no bag of tricks that will show you how to master it overnight. You probably have

already realized this. Some books, nevertheless, offer "inside stuff" or "tricks" which they claim will

enable you to beat the test. These include declaring that answer-choices B, C, or D are more likely to be

correct than choices A or E. This tactic, like most of its type, does not work. It is offered to give the

student the feeling that he or she is getting the scoop on the test.

The SAT cannot be “beaten.” But it can be mastered—through hard work, analytical thought, and by

training yourself to think like a test writer. Many of the exercises in this book are designed to prompt you

to think like a test writer. For example, in the math section, you will find “Duals.” These are pairs of

similar problems in which only one property is different. They illustrate the process of creating SAT

questions.

The SAT is not easy—nor is this book. To improve your SAT score, you must be willing to work; if

you study hard and master the techniques in this book, your score will improve—significantly.

This book will introduce you to numerous analytic techniques that will help you immensely, not only

on the SAT but in college as well. For this reason, studying for the SAT can be a rewarding and satisfying

experience.

Although the quick-fix method is not offered in this book, about 15% of the material is dedicated to

studying how the questions are constructed. Knowing how the problems are written and how the test

writers think will give you useful insight into the problems and make them less mysterious. Moreover,

familiarity with the SAT’s structure will help reduce your anxiety. The more you know about this test, the

less anxious you will be the day you take it.
