Written by a seasoned SAT tutor and Ivy League graduate, this manual offers a detailed set of tips and tricks for the new SAT Essay section. First introduced for the 2016 exam, the new essay format features much more rigidity and standardization than the previous essay, where students had much more freedom. Because the new format is a so restricting, it is much easier to hack and achieve a high score consistently, provided the student knows what he or she is doing. The flip side is that it is much easier to receive a terrible score if the student does not. This guidebook offers an easily repeatable formula for producing essays that graders will have no choice but to score highly, even for weaker writers. While other prep materials often retail for outrageous sums and generally ignore the essay section, this guide lays out the most crucial tips for maximizing your score with minimal investment of both time and money. Included in the guide book: - detailed information on the correct approach to preparing for and executing the essay - a template that is both easy to understand and reproduce, and will apply to ANY essay passage the exam throws at you - a breakdown of how you are scored and what the graders will be thinking about - a useful appendix containing "money" words you can use every time - sample essays written by me, a longtime SAT tutor, you won't find anywhere else
