Emily's TV interview about the SAT
The Tricks.
The Traps.
The Shortcuts.
Learning to solve the huge array of problems is hard enough, but performing on command at breakneck speed for 3 hours and 45 minutes with the clock ticking loudly can be pretty overwhelming. Constructed like a game, the SAT is different from the typical high school test – strategy is therefore key. Secret Rules of the SAT Game shows students how to play the game effectively.
"This book was incredibly helpful. The math chapter made more sense logically than much of the material and methods I learned in school. I read the math thoroughly and found the ‘tricks’ to be foolproof; I believe I finished every math section about ten minutes early." ~ Caitlin Dalere, age 17
"After reading the book, I felt much more confident when I arrived for the SAT. When I received the test, I said to myself, ‘this is going to be fun.’ I looked at every page as a game, so the test flew by fast and I left my testing center with a smile on my face." ~ Jackson Renaud, age 17
"The real truth behind taking the SAT." ~ Brandon Miller, age 17
"The writing style and concise format make this resource much more appealing in comparison to most SAT prep books. In particular, the strategies given for the Critical Reading’s long passages are excellent. In my experience, Bunker’s approach to the long passages is rather unique and, most importantly, highly effective." ~ Tiffany Terranova, SAT reading and writing instructor
- Students appreciate this book because they can easily use it on their own, unlike the intimidating phonebook-sized prep books that are bought and rarely opened.
- Strategies are taught from the perspective of logical thinking, in order to help students find shortcuts and avoid traps and irrelevant details. In other words, test-takers will save time and improve their scores because they will have learned how to second-guess the test-makers.
- Lots of practice problems, with an emphasis on the reading passages and math because these sections cause the most trouble. Included are complete explanations for why the right answers are right and the wrong ones are wrong.
- More advice for coping with test-taking anxiety than what is usually offered in test prep books.
- Real-life anecdotes and original cartoons that illustrate the issues students face.
This unique “player’s guide” challenges the giant test prep book industry by presenting a concise list of time-saving strategies in a clear and innovative way.
