Up Your Score: The Underground Guide to the Sat pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Amazon.com Tired of those stuffy test-prep books written by people "who were born before the invention of the number 2 pencil"? Wouldn't you like a bit of mirth with your math, some vigor in your vocabulary? Then try Up Your Score: The Underground Guide to the SAT. Of the six authors, three scored perfect 1600s on their SATs (the others earned respectable 1500+ scores) and two of them were still in high school when the book was written. As a result, the book is both humorous and helpful, and packed with strategies to outsmart the SAT. This guerrilla guide contains key rules to remember for the verbal and math sections (for example, know that questions always get harder in each subsection), a great word list with helpful mnemonic devices, hints on educated guessing (and a reminder that it can't hurt you to guess--at worst you'll probably break even on points), and even a section on writing better essays for the SAT II. Best of all is the "But Wait! You Also Get" chapter, which offers advice on improving your concentration, relaxation techniques, the moral quandary of cheating, the fastest way to fill in the answer ovals, and even the secret of food smuggling (and a recipe for sugar-packed "Sweet and Tasty 800 Bars"). Easily the most entertaining of the SAT guides, Up Your Score will certainly help you do just that. And remember what the authors say--"It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you outsmart the ETS." --C.B. Delaney --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Book Description Up Your Score: The Underground Guide to the SAT is the only test-preparation book written for students by students. It's the strategy guide with attitude. Now for the 1999-2000 Edition, Up Your Score is completely updated through the work of a new guest editor, high school junior and proud owner of a perfect 1600 SAT score - Hannah Bowen. As solid as it is savvy, as practical as it is hip, Up Your Score is the one guide that takes the dread out of the dreaded SAT. Written in a voice teenagers can immediately identify with, the book shows potential test-takers how to think like the SAT; improve memory and concentration; master insider math tricks; learn 600 key vocabulary words; and hone speed and timing. An entire section is devoted to becoming a better guesser, including why it's almost always better to guess than leave a question unanswered. And there are the side issues - what to do if you have a nasty proctor and how best to fill in the answer circles and save nearly six minutes.
