Organic SAT

by Dean Westwood





... is simply the best way to prep for your SAT—or any standardized test, really. It's all about optimizing your learning skills and applying those skills to exam questions.
  Designed to reshape and revitalize your current study habits, Organic SAT is truly fun to read and easy to grasp. Things will just unfold and you're on your way to building a stalwart academic foundation.

This book is an absolute MUST-HAVE for high school students for obvious reasons, but actually, IDEAL for middle school students, and INVALUABLE for parents to guide younger children. As with most things in life, the earlier you start, the more efficient and permanent learning becomes.


WHY Organic SAT WAS WRITTEN...

Simple. We just need to raise a few questions:

  • Why do students—even the good ones—UNDER-ACHIEVE on the SAT?

  • Why do we forget what we learn so quickly?

  • Why can't we think faster when taking tests?

  • Why can't we answer questions even when we know the material?

  • Why do we have to study SEPARATELY for the SAT?


THE STORY...

Jane is a high school sophomore who has her heart set on a top tier college. After countless practice tests, doing all the tips and tricks, searching out the most popular tutors, and devouring vocab and grammar lists… she still couldn't crack the 2000 barrier. Her GPA would remain stellar, but she knew she just had to score higher on the SAT… a lot higher.

Like most students, Jane found it difficult to retain what she learned, but even more frustrating to apply what she knew to never-seen-before questions…
