Big changes are coming to the SAT. Much to the consternation of America's high school students, beginning in March 2005, the SAT will include a written exam with required essay; the math section will add questions covering Algebra II; and the verbal section will be reconfigured as a critical reading exam. But one thing won't change--the best way to ace the test is to outsmart it with strategy and attitude, which is why the Up Your Score franchise is growing every year. Janet Xu knows: Using the student-tested Up Your Score as her study guide, she scored a perfect 1600 on the SAT and is this edition's guest editor.

A special edition that straddles the new and the old, the 2005-2006 Up Your Score is revised and updated to address the specific changes in the upcoming SAT, yet still contains all the material relevant to students taking the current SAT in Fall 2004. It combines guerilla tactics with rock-solid strategies for acing the writing, math, and verbal sections, and wraps it all in humor that does the opposite of distract--in fact, as so many students know, attitude actually makes the material more memorable, the lessons more effective. Up Your Score covers the thirteen rules of the essay section; 600 key vocabulary words, and how to improve memory and concentration so you can actually remember them; insider math tricks; how to do the sections in the best order; techniques to hone speed and timing (just filling in the answer circles correctly can save six minutes); plus, why it's better to guess than to leave a question unanswered. With recipes for Sweet & Tasty 800 Bars (and how to smuggle them into the testing hall) and a revamped Web site,

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
