Synopsis

Pwn the SAT Say no to gimmicks. There's a rampant belief in the world of test prep that the SAT essay can be beaten with a few little tricks. This is unfortunate for two reasons. First, it isn't true. Second, it compels students to spend their SAT prep time memorizing hackneyed essay templates, rather than working to become better, more persuasive writers. "PWN the SAT: Essay Guide" is aimed at high-achieving students who understand that the surest way to receive a high SAT essay score is to produce a thoughtful and convincing essay. This book will help you develop strong rhetorical skills that will not only deliver high SAT essay scores, but also continue to pay divide...

• Candy (not really)

Biographie de l'auteur

Mike McClenathan used to wish he was a natural born athlete instead of a natural born test taker, but over the years he has learned to embrace his nerdy superpower. He was the valedictorian of his high school class, and a member of Brown University's Class of '03.

Mike has scored 2400 on the SAT himself, and currently uses those skills to help kids in and around NYC maximize their scores. He blogs about SAT prep—and gives all kinds of free advice—at PWNtheSAT.com.

Mike donates 10% of the royalties he receives from book sales to students in need via DonorsChoose.org.
