Thoroughly overhauled for the new SAT, Up Your Score is the only test-prep guide written by students-all of whom achieved perfect or near-perfect scores and went on to the colleges of their choice. A complement and reality check to the mainstream SAT study guides, it's the book that kids recommend to one another, because it's as entertaining as it is effective-over all editions, it has more than 585,000 copies in print.
