Part of the Standard Deviants curriculum collection—featuring young-adult-friendly MTV-style quick cuts and visual sight gags—this fast-paced series is designed to improve test-taking strategies for high school students gearing up for the SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test). Hosted by college-aged students, the set is divided into six programs—“Introduction to the SAT & Sentence Completion,” “Critical Reading & Vocabulary,” “The Writing Section,” “Introduction to the Math Section,” “Algebra,” and “Geometry”—each of which are broken up into short segments that outline the material, present the lesson, and finish up with a brief summary. A terrific resource for public, school, and higher-ed libraries (since the strategies presented here would also transfer to most graduate school entrance exams), New SAT Prep will prove to be a boon for students as well as teachers hoping to prepare their classes for taking the SAT. The programs are also available individually for $29.98 each. Highly recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (L. Stevens)
