Description:
What causes more teen angst than bad skin breakouts or finding a prom date? The SATs! Luckily, those question-happy folks at the College Board (the very masterminds of the dreaded test themselves) have created 10 Real SATs, a guide to help test takers reduce their SAT stress and achieve higher scores. Information is provided on relaxation techniques, pacing yourself, and the ever-popular "guessing" tactic. Entire chapters are dedicated to each type of test question (vocabulary skills, sentence completion, critical reading, mathematics, etc.), with sample problems, tips, and solving strategies from the experts. As the title promises, this resource also offers 10 actual SATs--administered between 1994 and 1997--for student practice (although the authors kindly suggest that readers not try to complete all of them). This reference also includes a three-inch diskette with sample software for a test-prep demonstration. For young people who worry about being fully prepared, 10 Real SATs will help them feel more at ease (and maybe prevent a few ulcers, too). --Brangien Davis
