First things first: This is not your standard(ized) prep book. Plenty of books tell you what to study for the SAT or ACT. But if earning a perfect score were as simple as knowing what to study, it wouldn't be such a rare achievement. There must be something else. A missing piece. A hidden factor. Something that distinguishes one person's performance from another's. The difference between test takers isn't access to content, but the ability to work with it effectively during preparation and on test day.
