In addition to individual students, K-12 public and private schools have documented exceptional results using his copyrighted approaches to improve scores. This ground-breaking book provides a unique, insider's perspective on how test writers develop those "tricky" questions and answers while explaining proven test-taking strategies that can conquer them. This engaging, motivating approach describes how standardized tests are surprisingly like games. The parallels to sports, video games, and board games will astound you and encourage your child to keep working. You and your children will learn the opponent's (test writer's) game plans for developing questions. More importantly, the book explains proven strategies that tens of thousands of students have used to beat test writers at the testing game. Dozens of specific activities are provided to use with your children/students to level the playing field for test day.

As you and your child/students get into the test writer's head, you will discover this test-taking system does not simply apply to any particular test. It has been highly effective for elementary, middle, and high school students. The techniques have helped test takers conquer state tests as well as national tests like the ACT, SAT, Stanford (SAT10), SSAT, GRE, GMAT, and even licensure exams. The additional payoff is that students report learning their new skills is both motivating and fun.
