Local Test Prep Center Publishes New SAT Study Guide

Direct from Diamond Bar, California, comes SAT Study Guide: Your ultimate resource for the redesigned SAT—direct from the test experts! This book, available on Amazon.com under the product code 1523364416, has been purchased by high school students across the globe. All of them are studying relentlessly for the SAT, hoping to achieve an exceptional score on what is the United States’ most popular standardized college entry exam. For decades, SAT scores are what universities across the U.S. have looked at when considering prospective applicants.

The SAT has recently been redesigned and was implemented March 2016. The new is more focused on evaluating students’ ability to form conclusions based on relevant evidence, and as such is aligned with the Common Core.

Upon announcing the coming change to the test, the College Board (makers of the SAT), released a study guide almost immediately. However as numerous students purchased the book, ambition turned to anger when students discovered that the included practice tests were available free of charge on the College Board website. “Nothing in here you can't get for free online at Collegeboard.org…” one irate customer wrote. “College Board should be ashamed for ripping people off this way.”

Ms. Diane Sartor, director of Keystone Educational Publishers, recognized the need for a new study guide that was relevant, helpful and original. It would provide students with the skills and practice they need to attack the new test with confidence.

“My motivation for creating and publishing this book was to ensure that we would give these hopeful students something that is clearly missing from the College Board’s study guide. When I heard our own students complain that the College Board’s latest book was also a waste of their time and money, I decided then and there that I, with the help of my gifted writers, would publish an SAT study guide that all high school students could trust; and it would be done the right way.”

For Sartor, this meant including brand-new original tests (two more than in the College Board’s), a score calculation chart, a clear evaluation of the New SAT standards, and plenty of lessons to guide students in the types of problems they will encounter on the real test.

SAT Study Guide has been on the market since the implementation of the New SAT in March 2016. Since then, the newly acclaimed book has been sold by bookstores, online retailers and test prep centers nationally and internationally. Currently at a rating of 4.5/5 stars, SAT Study Guide has elicited a positive response from customers. “As a tutor, I have found this book to be the best I've used for the New SAT prep,” one review reads. “The lessons are comprehensive and easy to understand and the 6 tests are well-written… it's a big help for my students.”

In a city like Diamond Bar, sending your child to a specialized institute for SAT preparation is basically the standard. Being sent to a test prep center is a no-brainer for the high-income students of that city for two reasons: 1. because preparing for the SAT is imperative to getting into the best universities and 2. because parents here can afford the classes. But for lower-income students who still hope to attend that dream college, going to a test prep center, which can cost somewhere around $1500 - $3000 a semester, is out of the question. For other studious high-schoolers, there just aren’t any local test prep centers available. Effectively preparing for the SAT and achieving an excellent score for these students depends on hard work, dedication—and an exceptional study guide.

“Many students, for whatever reason, don’t want the cake, they just want the recipe. Our guide provides them with the opportunity to compete with their peers. But regardless of your background, we encourage all high school students to purchase this book. Use it to study alone or with your best friend, and take the SAT with confidence.”
