Drawing on the first study of 1600 scorers conducted with the full cooperation of the College Board, here are the 7 secrets to success on the SAT -- and in life.
Every year roughly 2.3 million high school students take the SAT; of those, however, only 650 students on average achieve a perfect score of 1600. Such a statistic raises obvious questions: Who are these kids? What are they like? And how do they do it?
In a new landmark study, educator and executive recruiter Tom Fischgrund became the first researcher ever granted comprehensive access to these high academic achievers by the College Board, the body that administers the SAT. Weaving together in-depth interviews with perfect-score students, insights from their parents, and exclusive College Board data, in 1600 Perfect Score he reveals the 7 secrets that separate the cream from the crop.
Among the Revelations
* Attending small private schools (or any school with classes) doesn't always make a big difference ... but having strong family support does
* Paying for expensive classes or tutors doesn'talways make a big difference ... but takinglots of practice tests at home does
* Having a strongly motivating teacher doesn't always make a big difference ... but having an independent passion for learning definitely does
Packed with intriguing case studies and practical advice -- and tips from the 1600 scorers themselves -- this essential book brings hard data and a new, more human perspective to one of the greatest challenges parents everywhere face: how to make sure their children have the best chance to thrive in high school, college, and beyond.
Here's an enlightening investigation of the lifestyles and study habits of SAT perfect-score achievers. Don't expect the findings to push every test taker to the top, but they do shed some light on what it takes to get there. Fischgrund, a professional educator and executive recruiter, surveyed a select number of 1,600 achievers, comparing their responses with a control group to bring out the idea that there's more to scoring high than simply being smart. He brings together his findings in "seven secrets" that any motivated student can apply. Along with the practicalities, Fischgrund presents some interesting background on the test itself, an examination that has become, for good or ill, almost a rite of passage among high-school seniors. The practical takes a back seat to the sociological, though, so this may not be a first choice for teens preparing for exams. Still, some of the revelations are bound to surprise not only those who aim for perfection but their parents and teachers as well.

市麵上關於SAT的資料多如牛毛,很多都是大同小異的重復炒冷飯,讀起來讓人感到乏味且效率低下。然而,這本書的“數學部分”處理方式,徹底顛覆瞭我的認知。我原以為數學無非就是背公式、多練習,但這本書深入挖掘瞭SAT數學中那些看似簡單卻暗藏玄機的“陷阱題”。它用非常形象的比喻解釋瞭例如“概率悖論”和“綫性函數交點”這類概念,使得原本抽象的數學語言變得非常直觀易懂。例如,它講解的“反嚮驗證法”在處理多變量應用題時,簡直是神器。我過去總是被題目中冗長的文字描述繞暈,但通過書中教導的,先假設答案再反推條件的技巧,我能迅速過濾掉乾擾信息,直擊核心。我感覺作者不僅是精通SAT,更是深諳應試者的心理弱點。這種將復雜問題簡單化、將枯燥知識趣味化的能力,是這本書最核心的競爭力所在,它極大地提升瞭我對數學部分的學習興趣和自信心。
评分從整體來看,這本書最寶貴的價值在於它構建瞭一個完整的、可執行的備考藍圖,而不是零散的知識點集閤。它不僅僅告訴我“要努力”,更重要的是告訴瞭我“如何有效地努力”。貫穿全書的,是一種“效率至上”的理念。它細緻地劃分瞭不同學習階段的任務側重,從初期的“弱點診斷與基礎夯實”,到中期的“高強度模擬與策略優化”,再到最後的“考前心態調整與快速迴顧”。這種結構化的引導,讓我的備考過程變得有條不紊,極大地減少瞭焦慮感。我尤其喜歡它在每章末尾設置的“自我反思清單”,它強迫我停下來審視自己的學習進度和方法是否偏離瞭軌道。這種持續的、主動的學習監控機製,是很多其他資料所欠缺的。讀完這本書,我感覺自己不再是那個被考試推著走的考生,而是成為一個掌控自己學習節奏的戰略傢。這套方法論,我相信不僅能助我衝刺SAT高分,對未來麵對其他標準化考試也會大有裨益。
评分這本書的封麵設計得非常吸引人,簡潔的排版和醒目的標題立刻抓住瞭我的眼球。“提高SAT考分的7大秘訣”這個名字聽起來就讓人充滿期待,仿佛找到瞭通往高分的捷徑。我一直對SAT考試心存敬畏,麵對那些復雜的閱讀理解和邏輯推理題時,常常感到無從下手。在翻閱這本書之前,我對自己的備考策略充滿瞭迷茫,不確定應該把精力放在詞匯積纍上,還是多做真題來熟悉題型。這本書的齣現,就像在一個迷霧重重的考場裏,突然齣現瞭一束清晰的指引之光,讓我對接下來的學習路徑有瞭一個初步的框架感。它不僅僅是一本習題集,更像是一位經驗豐富的導師,在告訴我如何科學、高效地分配我的時間和精力。我特彆欣賞它所強調的“秘訣”這個概念,這暗示著它提供的方法並非泛泛而談的通用建議,而是經過提煉和驗證的、能帶來顯著提升的策略。初讀之下,我感受到瞭一種久違的踏實感,不再是盲目地刷題,而是帶著目標和方法去學習,這本身就是一種巨大的進步。這種對備考全貌的梳理和引導,遠比單純堆砌難題要來得重要得多,它構建瞭我的信心基石。
评分這本書的排版和內容組織邏輯簡直是一場流暢的閱讀體驗,完全沒有傳統應試書籍那種枯燥乏味的感覺。作者在講解每個核心概念時,都穿插瞭大量的真實案例分析,這一點我非常贊賞。比如,在處理閱讀部分那些拐彎抹角的推理題時,書中不是簡單地給齣“選C”的答案,而是詳細拆解瞭齣題人的思維定式,教你如何從原文的特定措辭中反推齣唯一正確的結論。我記得有一次嘗試書中講解的“排除法優化”策略,原本我需要花兩分鍾纔能勉強選齣答案的題目,用這個方法後,幾乎能在一分鍾內鎖定正確選項,而且錯誤率明顯下降。這種從“知道怎麼做”到“能迅速且準確地做到”的飛躍,正是高分備考的關鍵。此外,書中對不同題型的時間管理建議也極其實用,它不是教你一刀切地分配時間,而是根據題目的難度係數和分值權重,動態調整答題順序和用時上限。這種精細化的指導,讓我在模擬測試中,終於體會到瞭那種遊刃有餘的感覺,不再因為某個難題而耽誤瞭後麵簡單題的時間。
评分我是一名偏科嚴重的考生,尤其在寫作部分總是拿不到理想的分數,語法錯誤頻齣,論證結構也顯得鬆散無力。這本書對寫作部分的剖析,可以說是為我量身定製的“手術刀”。它沒有過多糾纏於晦澀難懂的語法規則,而是聚焦於SAT作文評分標準的“高頻得分點”。書中提供瞭一套被稱為“三段論升級”的結構模闆,它教會我如何將一個略顯平庸的觀點,通過引入對比論證和數據支持,迅速提升到接近滿分的水平。更讓我驚喜的是,它裏麵包含瞭一係列“萬能句式”和“高級轉場詞庫”,這些都是可以直接融入到我自己的練習草稿中的“武器”。我嘗試著將這些句式運用到最近的一次模考中,結果評分老師給齣的反饋明顯比以往積極,尤其錶揚瞭我的邏輯連貫性和句式多樣性。這種立竿見影的效果,讓我對這本書的實戰價值深信不疑。它讓寫作不再是我的噩夢,而成為瞭我拉開與其他競爭者差距的利器。
