More About This Book

Overview

The Princeton Review realizes that acing the SAT is very different from getting straight A's in school. They don't try to teach you everything there is to know about math and English — only the techniques you'll need to score higher on the SAT. There's a big difference. In Cracking the SAT, The Princeton Review will teach you how to think like the test makers.

This is accomplished by teaching you how to:
  • Eliminate answer choices that look right but are planted to fool you
  • Solve SAT analogies when you're not sure what all the words mean
  • Tackle verbal problems by using clues in the questions
  • Cracking SAT algebra by "plugging in" numbers in place of letters
  • Ace the geometry problems by "guesstimating" and "sketching"

    *This book and CD-ROM package includes 6 full-length, simulated SAT exams: 2 in the book and 4 on CD-ROM. Plus, it will show you how to go online and take an additional exam with instant analysis. The questions in these tests are exactly like the ones you'll see on the actual SAT, and every solution is fully explained.

Robinson, a rated chess master, devised and perfected the Joe Bloggs approach to beating standardized tests in 1980, as well as numerous other core Princeton Review techniques.

    A must-have book for high schoolers preparing SAT

    My son and I are working on this book together. It is a good book, easy to to understand. The plug -in technique is wonderful in many circumstances. However, I believe the statistic part is weak. Listing the possible outcomes are very time-consuming. The vocabulary list contains mainly easy-to-medium difficult words, I believe.

    I couldn't believe it...

    I didn't think this book could really help. However, it did, a lot. It's written in a relaxed manner with a couple of cute joke thrown in to lighten up the serious business of studying for the SAT. The Joe Bloggs prinicple helped me a great deal.

    Great learning book for SAT tips!

    This book was easy to read and had tons of great tricks/tips to learn how to get a higher score on the SAT. It also has practice tests, a big vocabulary section w/ roots and their meanings, and goes over each section of the SAT. If you don't have time or the money to take the course, get this book.
