***This is the OLD second edition of the SAT Prep Black Book. The NEW third edition is fully updated for the Digital SAT. Click the link above that says "There is a newer edition of this item" to find the new, updated third edition.***The fully up-to-date SAT Prep Black Book, Second Edition gives you unique, effective SAT strategies from Mike Barrett, an SAT tutor with clients all over the globe who pay him hundreds of dollars an hour for phone tutoring. In addition to extensive and effective training on every aspect of the SAT, the SAT Black Book gives you detailed, systematic, easy-to-follow walkthroughs for every question in 4 of the College Board's official SAT Practice Tests. The Black Book is a must-have in your SAT preparation, whether you want to make a perfect 1600 to apply to an Ivy, score a 450 in each section to claim a sports scholarship, or anything in between.You can find the first 4 Practice SAT tests from the College Board for free on the College Board’s website, or in the "Blue Book," which is the College Board's Official SAT Study Guide, 2016 Edition or 2018 Edition---both editions contain the first 4 official SAT practice tests. (The SAT Prep Black Book has no affiliation with the College Board.) The Black Book and the real practice SAT tests from the College Board are all you need to get your best possible SAT score. The Black Book is the ideal SAT book for 3 major reasons: It covers every aspect of the test with advice that actually works, making it unique in the SAT prep field. It doesn't just review material from your high school classes! Instead, you'll learn to exploit design flaws in the SAT, using its own "SAT tricks" against it. The Black Book contains 600+ detailed, systematic, easy-to-follow walkthroughs for real SAT questions from the College Board, so you know that what you're learning actually works. You'll see every question from the first 4 official SAT Practice Tests attacked in a way that clearly demonstrates the ideal thought process on the SAT. (You'll need your own copies of those real SAT practice tests, which you can get for free from the College Board’s website. You can also find them in the College Board’s 2016 or 2018 “Blue Book.”) The Black Book is a clear, concise roadmap to the SAT. (See the selected highlights below). It explains exactly how every SAT question works, and how to beat it in the least time possible.Selected Highlights from the SAT Prep Black Book: Why the SAT isn’t designed like a high school test, and how this fact influences every aspect of the proper approach to SAT preparation… Why every SAT question can only have one valid answer, no matter how much it might seem otherwise sometimes… How to look at SAT questions the same way the College Board does when it writes them… Why it’s so important to work with real SAT questions from the College Board…and why you shouldn’t pay much attention to the College Board’s written explanations for those questions! What you’re actually supposed to do when the SAT asks you about an author’s attitude… Why you shouldn’t put your faith in diagnostic tests, even if they come from the College Board… The simple formula that allows you to crank out a top-scoring essay (that is, if you even need to do the SAT Essay in the first place)… The special grammatical rules that are followed by the SAT Writing and Language section…and how they sometimes differ from common usage in school… The many ways to approach an SAT Math question, and which ones are likely to work best for you… Why every real SAT question can potentially be answered in under 30 seconds… And much more than we can fit in this space…

This Advanced Course from the 28 SAT Math Lessons series, for the revised SAT beginning March 2016, gives you all of Dr. Steve Warner's unique tips, tricks and tactics that he has developed over the last 14 years to get his strongest students from a 600 to an 800 in SAT math. Dr. Warner has used his Ph.D. in mathematics to create the ultimate system for generating huge score increases in SAT math with only 20 minutes of preparation each day.The material in this book consists of Dr. Warner's exclusive strategies that students usually pay $500 per hour to access during private tutoring lessons. The unique techniques Dr. Warner teaches, now available in his "Get 800" collection of books, are the most effective ever published and cannot be found in any other SAT prep book!Be careful! Some of Dr. Warner's students have shown such significant score increases that the College Board has accused them of cheating with no evidence besides their score increase from one SAT to the next. If you feel that this may happen to you after using one of Dr. Warner's books please contact him before taking your next SAT and he will tell you how to protect yourself.Beware of other books on the market that claim to be as good as Dr. Warner's. No book can be as effective as this one unless it targets students in a specific score range. Other tutors and authors, while very intelligent, often make a mistake by teaching every student how to solve problems in the same way. They do not understand the philosophy of the test and do not always know how to translate their own genius into points which would fit a specific student's needs depending on his/her math level.The "28 SAT Math Lessons" three book series is perfect for your SAT math prep for 5 reasons: Each of the 3 books in the series (Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced) targets students within a specific score range. The targeted nature of these books allows you to choose a course that is a perfect fit for you. This means that you will not waste any time practicing problems that you do not need help with. The Advanced Course is perfect if you are currently scoring 600 or higher on College Board practice tests and are aiming for a perfect 800. Dr. Warner has had to teach SAT math prep for 15+ years to accumulate the powerful combination of insights and strategies found in this book. Years of experience and a unique approach have led to the ultimate product that outdoes any other SAT prep book. While other books teach general mathematical knowledge, Dr. Warner's strategies are designed to exploit the test's weaknesses, which allow students to save huge amounts of time, avoid careless mistakes, and answer questions correctly without any messy algebraic computations. The lessons will naturally increase your mathematical maturity so that your potential score increases simultaneously with your actual score. This means that you can actually become capable of getting an 800 even if you were not before picking up the book. The information in the introduction alone is enough to raise your SAT math score up to 50 points before you even attempt one math problem There are more than 300 SAT math problems to practice with,most of which are Level 4 and 5. Explanations of the solutions are extremely thorough and comprehensible. The course is designed to ensure that students are preparing in the most efficient way possible just by reading the book from cover to cover. No choices ever have to be made. The author has ensured that good preparation happens automatically with no effort on the reader's part.
