Acknowledgments
An SAT course is much more than clever techniques and powerful computer score reports. The reason our results are great is that our teachers care so much about their students. Many teachers have gone out of their way to improve the course, often going so far as to write their own materials, some of which we have incorporated into our course manuals as well as into this book. The list of these teachers could fill this page.
Special thanks to all those who contributed to this years edition: Sara Kuperstein, Amy Minster, Scott ONeal, Cynthia Ward, Anne Bader, Gabby Budzon, Brittany Lee, Jomil London, Jason Morgan, Jess Thomas, and Chris Vakulchik.
We are also, as always, very appreciative of the time and attention given to each page by Jason Ullmeyer, Liz Dacey, Emily Epstein White.
Finally, we would like to thank the people who truly have taught us everything we know about the SAT: our students.

Foreword
Welcome to Princeton Review SAT Prep! The SAT is not a test of aptitude, how good of a person you are, or how successful you will be in life. The SAT simply tests how well you take the SAT. And performing well on the SAT is a skill, one that can be learned like any other. The Princeton Review was founded more than 35 years ago on this very simple idea, andas our students test scores showour approach is the one that works.
