The Practical Guide Series is intended as a digital guide to be used while on the train, waiting for friends, or just have that spare minute to review. We have learned the hard way that simply spending hours in the library studied does not produce better results than maximizing time throughout the day. The human brain is better at absorbing information in short spurts as opposed to long dull study sessions. Therefore, this guide serves as a review for the writing and reading sections as well as the SAT II Social Science Exams.
