Core ConceptsThe SAT, despite recent criticism, remains one of the more merit based components of the college admissions process. It is admirable to argue about the social and demographic statistics of the SAT, but the real task for a student is to go inside an actual SAT test to see how it works.
The most important thing the SAT tests is a student’s grasp of logic. The test operates on principles of reasoning. Test designers test the same things on every test-without recycling questions- because they always follow strict rules and patterns in writing new questions. “Training” to recognize these rules for standardized tests is the easier, faster, less costly, and more effective approach.
Any student who has spent a great deal of time reading is virtually assured of a high SAT score.
Students don't back their way into a good score. Those who do well prepare conscientiously.

Do you know these facts about the SAT?
The directions at the beginning of each section are misleading. Are you really looking for the “best” answer?
The SAT is NOT a vocabulary test. Memorizing is a waste of your time. But, knowing what you don’t know is a key element in the test design.
Most of the Payback is in the question, not the answers.
Omitting a question can GAIN you points.
Guessing is DEADLY.
There are only twenty or so error types possible in the Grammar portion of the Writing test. The SAT designers can’t invent new grammar errors.
You can have spelling mistakes in the Essay and still score a perfect 12.
You can get more wrong answers in one test than in another and still get a higher score. Do you know that the test is “scaled”?
The SAT has a design that can be “reverse engineered”. We’ve done it!
Traditional test prep has painful shortcomings—how do you avoid them? Most test preparation for the SAT, PSAT, GRE, LSAT, and GMAT is deeply flawed. Logic, not tricks, is the key. |
