Product Description:
A top SAT coachwhose high-scoring strategies earned him $300 an hour from Manhattans elite private-school students now makes his unique, proven secrets available to all.
Money can buy academic success, and the SAT is no exception. Harvard honors graduate Eliot Schrefer discovered this lucrative truth when he took a job at the nations most exclusive test-prep firm. He has helped hundreds of his clients raise their scores an average of 300 points and reel in admission to exclusive colleges. Now, in a guide that is as unique as his tricks, Schrefer brings his extraordinary pointers to every anxious applicant.
This user-friendly rescue manual delivers such scoreboosting features as:
a killer vocabulary list, including words the SAT has repeated for decades (and why reading Vanity Fair magazine is smart test prep)
cheap tricks to master the math section (surprise! you learned all you needed to know about SAT math by the eighth grade)
how to be a grammar genius without cracking another book (bonus: discover the tiny subset of grammar rules that is the SATs secret lover)
Schrefer writes in a snappy, conversational tone, dishing gossipy anecdotes about former clients while presenting advice not found in competing books. With a design that is as vibrant as a gamers virtual world, this is the ultimate weapon in the quest for test-score triumph.

- Nervous yet? You will be, after reading this book.
I found this book while buying an SAT guide for my nephew, and spent about an hour reading it. While I was impressed by the rates the author charges his students to tutor them (hundreds!), I wasn't impressed with the book. The book seems overly obsessed with scores and scoring higher. I scored above 2300 on the SAT and got into every college I applied to --- including Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, and the top small colleges --- but reading the book with its intense focus on scoring made ME nervous. ...

- FUNNY AND HELPFUL
My son read this book and enjoyed it. He is 16 years old and he does not usually read a lot of books unless required. He stated that this book was funny and he feels it will be helpful when taking the SAT test. Get this book for your child to read and they will not complain about reading it like other prep books. There were some errors in the book, but the author mentions them on his site at www.eliotschrefer so it's all good.
My son looks forward to reading other books by the author, since ... Read More
Rating: - A Mixed Bag
This book is truly a mixed bag. On one hand, it's funny, easy to read, and contains some smart tips. On the other hand, it contains very few examples and some embarrassing errors, which caused me to question its accuracy.
I applaud the author for writing a concise SAT guide that is accessible to the typical student. However, I would strongly advise readers to use this book in conjunction with the College Board's own preparation guides. On its own, this book does not provide adequate background ... Read More
Rating: - finally some humor about this topic
I'm a youth services librarian and am constantly being asked for SAT review books. They are traditionally tedious and painful - somewhat like the test itself. This is such a relief - there is so much angst involved in this process and this book takes a lighthearted approach that is appreciated by all. This is not just my adult view - I have shown this book to the kids themselves - my own daughter actually laughed reading passages aloud comparing them to her own experience with the test. Laughing about the SATs? ... Read More
Rating: - CLEAR AND SMART!!!!
Having taught SAT preparatory courses myself, l was so glad to find this book. Mr. Schrefer has finally given us a clear guide that is free of the useless hype and silliness that plagues so many other guides and courses. Schrefer shows the SAT test for what it is, an exam that every student can do well on if given the proper preparation and reassurance.
CONGRATULATIONS, MR. SCHREFER ON FINALLY GIVING STUDENTS A SUCCINCTLY WRITTEN GUIDE THAT CUTS THROUGH THE SUPPOSED "MYSTERY" OF THIS EXAM.
