| Matt's got the formulaI am Peter Dreyer, currently a student at the University of Pennsylvania. I used the methods in this book last year when I was taking the SAT. Matt has absolutely got the formula down (which he has now put into a book). To all juniors (or parents of juniors), everything on the test is middle school material. The key, and Matt's main lesson in his book, is how to take the test. The SKIP AND COMEBACK method, which is his main point, was extremely helpful and improved my score dramatically. This book is unique in the respect that it goes in depth into HOW to take the SAT, and that's the most important thing you need to know and this is the only book that teaches it well.

| I wish I had read this book in high school...I found this book's recurrent theme to be that achieving the best results on the SAT comes from, or at least begins with, exactly what you already know and exactly who you are. The mission to merit the scores that the best of the best colleges and graduate schools want to see is one that instills fear and makes even the best of the best students feel intimidated. "Conquering the SAT" intersects this rising anxiety and instills confidence. With so many options to IMPROVE YOUR SCORES! out there, it's so easy to forget the most basic principles of succeeding on a test. I was struck with a sense of calm when the authors advocated to simply be creative with math, write what you know about, and sometimes just stop and THINK! I wish I had just relaxed six years ago when I took the SAT and had a little fun with learning instead of fiercely focusing on my score.
The book is a little long-winded but a good read to pick up here and there as the student stories are easy to relate to and the chapters have a way of repeating the same suggestions over and over again in different ways. It's more encouraging and engraining than tedious and redundant. For the parent who wants what is best for their child's health, mentality and attitude throughout the college testing process, this is the place to start. The book is no replacement for courses, tutoring, note cards, practice tests, etc. but if the student can become sure of his/herself before tackling the test, which is exactly what "Conquering the SAT" advises, than those aforementioned performance-raising mechanisms will probably work a lot better in the long run.
