How to Ace the SAT Reasoning Test, using our easy step-by-step SAT test study guide, without weeks and months of endless studying...

Dear Friend,

On a beautiful late spring afternoon, this past year, a young woman received the devastating news. She had just gotten back her score on the SAT test. It was not what she had hoped for. In fact, it was not even close to the expectations she had and what she thought her 4.0 grade point average would help her score on the SAT test.

The worst part was that she knew that she could never get into the university she had planned to go to with an SAT test score that low.

Then she remembered her friends and felt even worse. All of her closest high school friends had already gotten their SAT test scores back and had already been accepted into the university they all planned to attend together. She had been procrastinating about taking the SAT test, because she hated standardized tests, and this only confirmed her hatred.

"Why do you have to take the SAT test to get into college?" she angrily wondered.

She didn't look forward to having to tell the embarrassing news to her friends. "What would they think of her?" she thought, eyes brimming with tears, as she imagined her friends starting college without her and the isolation and exclusion of being the one left behind.

How to Solve the Problem

Unfortunately, this hypothetical situation occurs all the time. Someone thought they were going to a prestigious university, told all of their friends, made plans for the future, picked out a degree, and then got an embarrassing reality check from their score on the SAT test.

The SAT Reasoning Test is quite simply an objective assessment of a test taker's requisite foundation of knowledge and skills.

SAT test scores are used by the College Board as a uniform standard of qualification. While it may not be fair, all of a person's plans for the future may be dependent upon needing a certain SAT test score.

That is the whole purpose of the SAT Secrets study guide: to give test takers the keys to understand how to succeed on the SAT test.

Our SAT Test Study Guide Is Unlike Any Other

If you'd like to get the SAT test score you deserve, to quit worrying about whether your score on the SAT test is good enough, and to beat the test taking game, then this might be the most important message you read this year.

Our comprehensive study guide for the SAT 1 Reasoning Test is written by our test experts, who painstakingly researched the topics and the concepts that you need to know to ace your SAT test. Our original research into the SAT Reasoning Test, offered by the College Board, reveals the specific content areas and the essential skills that are critical for you to know on the SAT test. We've taken the information and developed a study guide that is guaranteed to help you be successful on the SAT test.

The Exclusive Test Taking Techniques

• Learn why, when, and how to guess to your advantage. Many test takers use exactly the wrong strategy, but you can avoid the pitfalls with the help of our standardized test experts.
• Why answers that sound correct are often the very ones that are wrong and how to tell the difference between the right answer and the many clever-sounding traps set for you by the test writers.
• Our benchmark method for deciding which of the answer choices you should pick.
• What to do about the tough questions that you have no clue how to answer. Don't just give up, use the advice we offer to make sure you give yourself the best chance of getting the right answer.
• Learn how to group your answer choices into families that often narrows down the pool of correct answers. This is a quick way to immediately eliminate one or two of the answer choices and increase your odds of getting the question right.

Before we go any further, let us clarify what SAT Secrets is not. It is not a stale rehash of all of the things you have already learned in the past.

SAT Secrets is our exclusive collection of the tips and the information that we have specially selected to give you the best results on the SAT test for the least time spent studying. It's written in everyday language and is easy to use.

We cover the essential skills necessary to do well on the SAT test, plus comprehensive reviews covering the Mathematics, Critical Reading, and Writing tests.

Chris G.

"I just had to thank you guys for the test prep! I bought the guide as a last minute prep, I mean maybe 5 hours before the test. Like I said, I had ZERO preparation! I was nervous about the test let alone receiving the score I needed. I read the guide through only once before test time and needless to say, the only way I passed was thanks to your refresher!!"

Brian

"Just dropping you a note to let you know that I am completely satisfied with the product. I had already taken the test once and landed in the 75 percentile of those taking it with me. I took the test a second time and used some of your tips and raised my score to the 97 percentile. Thanks for my much improved score."

Denise W.

"I heard about your website from a friend. I am enrolled in a review course, and in hindsight, I wish I wouldn't have taken my review course and instead spent a fraction of the money on your program. Thank you!"
