The Girls' Guide to the SAT: Tips and Techniques for Closing the Gender Gap

by Ron Foley, Alexandra Freer, Nancy C. Redding

Taking the SAT can be stressful and it doesn’t help that the deck is stacked against you. Even though girls tend to earn better grades in high school and college, guys score an average of 40 points higher on the SAT. How can you beat the gender gap? Raise your score by learning the ins and outs of the test, rather than spending hours studying math and English. By learning what to expect on the test and how to think like the test writers, you will score higher. In Girls’ Guide to the SAT, we show you how to beat the gender gap by giving you:

-A plan to help you focus on the areas you need to work on most
-Math and verbal reviews
-Practice exercises to work on your timing, confidence, concentration, and nerves
-Four study plans designed to help everyone, no matter what kind of student you are or how much time you have to prepare
-A special chapter to get you through that last nerve-wracking week before the SAT

I read this book, because my teachers got me into SAT s, so I asked my mom to check it out at the library for me and she did. It really helped me understand what questions I will have to answer when it is my turn to take this amazing test. This book is very well written and it really helped me see what is coming up for me in the future.
