Synopsis

Nobody from College Board is going to tell you that the best way to do well on the SAT is to use your calculator when it’s supposed to be a test which evaluates your so-called "mathematical reasoning."

Ace the SAT is the first book of its kind, developed to help students get the most out of their study time and an important SAT math tool: their graphing calculator. This book begins by setting the stage for learning efficiently, then delving into test taking and calculator strategies which will help you to solve problems faster and with more understanding. It also discusses why good students often get bad SAT scores and ways to address this problem.

The strategies and learning plan contained in this book draw on the author's personal experiences, from being a mediocre student to eventually scoring a perfect 800 on the SAT math section, graduating with honors, and receiving a full tuition scholarship to college. No matter what your proficiency, the techniques in this book can help you to hone your problem solving and calculator skills.

The SAT is practically a rite of passage for college-bound teens, though many people do not realize its importance. The SAT is used not only for college acceptance, but also for determining scholarship cutoffs—if you spend 30 hours studying for the SAT and get a $120,000 scholarship, that’s a salary of $4,000 an hour. This book could be worth 10,000 times its cover price!
