We all know someone who has a son or daughter in high school who will have to experience the rite of passage from high school to college by taking the SAT test. What many don’t know is the book, 101 Ways to Score Higher on Your SAT Reasoning Test: What You Need to Know Explained Simply by Marti Anne Maguire with Jaclyn Bissell is filled with a wealth of information on how to “ace” the SAT.
Maguire gives a wealth of information to assist students as they prepare for the SAT, she also gives good advice such as, accept that the SAT is “L-O-N-G” and no easy task. But Maguire explains if students compare it to running a marathon, going slow and steady like marathon runners, high scores are attainable. Maguire expresses “the premise that knowing more about the test will lessen the stress of taking it.” The book goes into details explaining how the test is structured, using the old saying “keep your friends close, but keep your enemies even closer” to explain it. The first tip she gives is to “engage your enemy.” She goes on to say students must look at the SAT test as the enemy and know what the enemy is up to. This is the explanation given on how to “master” the SAT. To me this is what is called “common sense,” something we all sometimes forget.
Overall, I found Chapters Six through Ten in the book gave great strategies to use, explaining them very clearly and how student’s can use them to their advantage. The many chapters covered vocabulary enhancement, math formulas, reading comprehension and much more to assist a student. And in bringing the book to its conclusion, Maguire even becomes a motivational speaker in Chapter 14, inspiring students with ways to keep up their morale and believe in themselves. Finally, Chapter 15 is a chapter focused on helping students find the right college, learning who they are and organizations that offer financial assistance for college funding. If a parent has a student that needs assistance with the SAT test, 101 Ways to Score Higher on Your SAT Reasoning Test: What You Need to Know Explained Simply by Marti Anne Maguire with Jaclyn Bissell comes highly recommended.

Today’s SAT is not your father’s SAT – or even your older sister’s SAT. The SAT has changed significantly in form, focus, and duration even since 2004. Maguire proclaims that “the test has changed so much that no one over the age of 22 would recognize it.”
Understanding and knowing how the SAT works and managing the stress, structure, rigor, and role of the SAT are crucial to producing a SAT score reflective of your current knowledge, abilities, and skills and indicative of your future potential and worth as a student within and representative of the university of your choice. Moreover, your future potential and worth extend beyond academia and expand into your subsequent, evolving professional and personal life.
Through “101 Ways,” you will acquire this essential, requisite understanding and knowledge of how the SAT works. Through “101 Ways,” you will learn how to manage the stress, structure, rigor, and role of the SAT. Fifteen chapters and nearly 300 pages lay the groundwork for the SAT’s understanding, knowledge, and management. Supplementing and augmenting this main body is an Appendix of Internet Resources for the SAT addressing Overall SAT Preparation, Math Resources, and Reading and Writing Resources, a Bibliography of prime sources providing in-depth analyses and perspectives on the SAT, and a Glossary of terms and concepts central to understanding, knowing, and managing your SAT experience.
You are the key, independent variable in the SAT equation. The guidance offered and preparation framed by Maguire and Bissell afford you the information and guidance to control all dependent variables impacting the solution of that equation. Solve wisely.

Anyone who has ever sat the SAT knows you can quickly become a fish out of water when you begin the arduous task of studying for the test that will define the rest of your life. But this book creates a friendly rapport between the basics (what you need to know), the studying process, mastering the content and getting yourself into the SAT mind set by becoming a Zen warrior. It may sound absurd but the techniques offered in this book are a safe bet on your journey to life beyond the great SAT yonder.
Just as in a game of chess, you need to plan your attack and what you want to accomplish. Setting a goal is a critical aspect in preparation and with the tips provided your goal is in easy reach. Using the authors SAT Strategy provides time saving techniques which will ensure you work efficiently in the lead up to taking the test. The book also contains Case Studies which provide real stories on how others prepared and studied for the SAT – a vital resource when attempting to put the tips into practice.
The 101 one liner tips are scattered throughout the book and reinforce the techniques discussed in length by the authors. The book also takes you beyond sitting for the SAT and openly discusses what comes after, by discussing how to choose the right college for you, exploring the possibility of scholarships and finding financial aid to suit your needs.
Not only will this book give you proven strategies when it comes to preparing and sitting for the SAT, but a portion of the proceeds collected from the sale of this book are donated to the Humane Society of the United States as a tribute to Bear, the beloved pet of Atlantic Publishing’s Douglas and Sherri Brown. Now that’s a feel good ending.

101 Ways to Score Higher on Your SAT Reasoning Test is a must-read for any high school student planning for college. Unlike other dry, academic study guides, this book breaks down the SAT process into manageable chunks, and its light-hearted, casual, even humorous style is far more appealing than other texts on the subject.
The first section is devoted to understanding the test and creating a personal study plan. The second provides an introduction to the concepts tested in the SAT, complete with practice questions in reading, writing, and math–and the type of content that catches students off-guard. The SAT is an intimidating test, but 101 Ways to Score Higher on Your SAT Reasoning Test will help students maintain their sanity while mastering this important step in their college goals. It includes solutions and helpful suggestions–everything from how the scores are tabulated; what to bring on test day; how to prepare a plan of attack; time-saving techniques; when to guess and when to skip; essay strategy; and how to handle uncertainty and stress. It also has a very useful section with scholarship information, Internet resources and practice tests, sites that offer free math tutorials, and other resources. This book is an invaluable tool for any college-bound student.
