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, www.upyourscore.com.

Review by Kristin : Not another dry, boring SAT book! 
I teach an SAT Prep course, and I recently was thrilled when I found this book. It is totally in tune with a teenager's sense of humor. I was even laughing out loud in some instances! Even better, it is an excellent preparation tool that identifies tried and true techniques. They have updated this edition so that the jokes are new and fresh, and the writers are completely down-to-earth. They truly seem to recall what it is like to be an eleventh grader who is extremely anxious about taking this test. Additionally, it's not too long and cumbersome that it will scare away students who truly wish to up their scores; I read the book in one evening. (I wish I had read it when I was in high school!!!) It's a necessity for any college-bound high school student!
Review by "naomiii" : Funny & Helpful
There's one thing that separates this book from all the other SAT books -- it's written BY students FOR students. That, and you actually WANT to keep reading it. There's nothing dry and boring about this book. It's funny, it's helpful, and I give it more credit for helping me raise my Verbal & Math scores than any of the other books that I bought. I believe that the only books you really need to prepare for the SAT I are "Up Your Score" for insight on the test, tips on how to master the different types of problems, and a no-fail vocabulary builder, and "10 Real SAT's" for the practice tests. I've recommended "Up Your Score" to all my friends-- it's the only SAT book I've read that was fun to read & helpful at the same time.
