Great Advice for Those Who Heed ItFor many of my students, the SAT essay is the most difficult part of that formidable test. Wanting to get a different perspective on how to help these students and being interested in reading sample essays and their evaluations, I purchased this book from Amazon sight unseen.
There are many things about this book that I like: the humor, the short chapters, the insightful recommendations, the example essays and the analysis of these essays from different perspectives. I can't say that I learned a great deal from this book, but it did bring important topics to the forefront and proved to be a great refresher course on the SAT essay for me.
Though it's tempting to read but one chapter a day and contentrate on that one lesson, doing so would entail stretching out the reading for almost two months. I found it more beneficial for myself to read two or three chapters a day.
Based on my experiences working with high school students, I think only the most motivated of students will actually read the entire book, stay the course, and benefit from the lessons within. A student also must have a basic understanding of the writing process to incorporate the tips of the authors into his or her own writing program.
For my own purposes I found it best to apply specific principles proferred by the authors to essays previously written by my students. I'd recommend this same strategy to prospective SAT candidates who are studying independently with the help of "3 Minutes a Day."
This is a worthwhile book, one which teachers and serious writing students may find themselves returning to again and again.
I would have liked more examples of relevant topics in the advice chapters, but this would have lengthened the chapters and the book. I guess expecting the perfect book is like expecting a 6 on one's SAT essay.
