Up Your Score’s guide to writing essays was very informative and was the same as students are taught in high school. It is the basic five-paragraph essay style. That means an introduction, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion. It should be drilled into everyone’s head by senior year.
Finally, the book finishes up with a section on how to concentrate and other insider tips for the SAT. Oddly enough, they suggest drinking games without the drinking to improve concentration. They also list your rights as an SAT taker. The most striking right I hear was the right to 30 minutes of uninterrupted silence, even from instruction time. Funniest were the sections on how to bubble in the circles so as to spend less time and how to sneak food into the testing center. The section on food even included a recipe for Sweet and Tasty 800 bars. The last two emphases were about the SAT providing you scholarship opportunities and how to dress for success on SAT day. I found this book thoroughly informative, will use this information, and plan to practice more for the SAT. After all, they said that there is no match for doing practice tests to prepare for the SAT; it will boost your concentration.
