We’re not huge fans of the SAT I as a test, but there’s no doubt that it’s important to colleges. Your SAT scores play a crucial role in determining which colleges are within reach. You'll also need to have taken tough classes throughout high school and have earned a strong GPA. You’ll need leadership in the right extra-curriculars and a thoughtful application that pulls it all together. But all of those things can take a lot of time to put in place. (And if you're a senior, it's already too late to change most of them.) Your SAT score, on the other hand, can be dramatically improved in only a few hours.

Most students approach the SAT like a regular subject in school. They pay for 80-hour classes that drill them in grammar, vocabulary,and math formulas. And to top it all off, their scores often don't improve afterwards. We used to have to send our clients to these classes because there was no alternative, and the SAT score is such an important part of the application that we had to try whatever we could to bring it up.

We have finally found a better alternative. Mike Barrett has been quietly helping people with the SAT for over 10 years, and he knows the test inside and out. Unlike large SAT companies, Mike doesn't take the SAT at face value. He doesn't cram your head full of definitions and theorems. Instead, he takes you "behind the scenes" of the SAT and shows you how it really operates.

The result is an improved score in only a few hours. There's less frustration and more free time. You can't lose.

Mike has been working with some of our clients one-on-one, and their success is measurable. We are now thrilled to offer Mike’s expertise in a downloadable SAT program.

Our Application Boot Camp™ Ultimate SAT Guide shows you:

• What's wrong with writing the SAT Essay like a regular high school essay -- and what really scores high (even though it shouldn't).
• Why calculators and formulas are useless on the Math section. In fact, SAT Math questions are designed to punish people who use their calculators.
• Why memorizing 5,000 words of SAT vocabulary is a colossal waste of your precious time, and what you should do instead.
• How the Critical Reading questions try to exploit the years of higher-level reading you've done in school. If you're not careful, they'll turn your verbal skills against you.
• Why learning to recognize a handful of simple patterns gets you a higher score on the Writing section than memorizing every grammar rule in English.
• Why the single most popular SAT strategy of all time, the "educated guess," is the worst thing you can possibly do.
• Our own tips on the role the SAT plays in admissions and how to relax on test day.
• And that's just the tip of the iceberg . . .

Whether you're struggling to break 500 points on a section or closing in on that elusive 800, Mike's advice can get you where you want to go.
