What is the most effective way to prepare for the SAT? Take practice tests that reflect the exact type of material that is included on the actual SAT. The Official SAT Study Guide by College Board (2nd edition) includes ten full-length exams, providing ideal practice material. The problem is that the answer key, at the end of each test, states "what" the correct answers are, but not "why." The goal is for students to learn from their mistakes, not repeat them. Therefore, SAT SMART: STRATEGIES and ANSWERS to the SAT, is the ideal companion guide as it provides detailed answers to all of the questions on two full-length SAT exams, teaching students the easiest way to get the correct answers on the day of their "real" test! SAT Smart: Strategies and Answers to the SAT provides innovative strategies that teach students the best way to attack the three different areas of the SAT while effectively managing their time. It also teaches students "300 Words Frequently Seen on the SAT" (including such SAT favorites as "pragmatic," "ephemeral," and "loquacious") so students can feel confident and prepared when these words appear on their actual test!
