It's back... the latest edition of the other  

SAT

  guide, Up Your Score, is available. What sets it apart from the multitude of practice test--filled guides out there (which are also pretty helpful if you use them), is that this one is chock--full of strategies from super SAT takers. It has attitude and irreverence, and you'll learn tons. Even better, you can get SAT--savvy at UpYourScore.com, too. What you can do...

Scroll for tips >> Two good ones we found:
-- If you skip a question because you don't know the answer, put a mark next to it. For ones you don't think you can figure out, put an X; for ones you may be able to go back to if you have time, put a question mark.

-- If a problem has fractions in the question and the answer, don't waste time converting to decimals. You should be able to do the problem without your calculator. Mnemonic word play >> Wile E. Coyote used wily means of sneaking up on Roadrunner. Get it? Choose a letter and get definitions with memorable sentences like these. The lesson here? The more creative you are when using a word, the easier you'll remember it.

Chat it up >> Guest authors Smitha Prabhuswamy and Jason Abaluck act as moderators on an all--SAT, all--the--time message board. Log on for daily exercises, general and specific tips from other test--takers, or just to rant about how much you hate the SAT (don't we all!).
