WE KNOW THE SAT The experts at The Princeton Review take the SAT and other standardized tests each year to make sure you get the most up-to-date, thoroughly researched books possible. WE KNOW STUDENTS Each year we help more than two million students score high with our courses, bestselling books, and award-winning software: WE GET RESULTS Students who take our six-week SAT course have an average score increase of 140 points (verified by Roper Starch Worldwide). The proven techniques we teach in our courses are in this book. AND IF IT'S ON THE SAT, IT'S IN THIS BOOK The Princeton Review realizes that acing the SAT is very different from getting straight As in school. We don't try to teach you everything there is to know about math and English--only the techniques that you need to score high on the SAT. There's a big difference. In Cracking the SAT & PSAT, we'll teach you how to think like the test makers and: *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 *Crack SAT algebra by "plugging in" numbers in place of letters *Ace the geometry problems by "guesstimating" and "sketching" This book includes two full-length diagnostic exams that will predict your score on both the SAT and PSAT. The questions in these tests are exactly like the ones you'll find on the real SAT, and we fully explain every solution.
