Teaching SAT math has been Philip Keller’s “other job” since 1985. While studying mechanical engineering at Princeton University, he taught SAT classes for a company called Pre-Test Review, a pioneer in SAT preparation. After graduating, he became a high school math and science teacher, teaching mostly physics but also chemistry, calculus and geometry. All through his years of teaching, he has continued to work with students to prepare them for the SAT. He has also worked as a free-lance writer for the ACT, writing math and science questions, so he has seen the standardized testing world from inside and out. Currently, he teaches physics at Holmdel High School, in Holmdel, New Jersey. He also teaches the math classes for Keller and White, a small SAT and PSAT preparation program. He lives in Shrewsbury, New Jersey, with his wife Daphne, his children Reuben and Jane, and his dogs Ranger, Pippin and Rosie.
Devised for high school students who want to improve their math SAT scores, this study guide offers a comprehensive strategy for approaching the test. Concise and efficiently organised, this book provides powerful techniques for improving scores dramatically in the short term, as well as acquiring long-term test-taking savvy. Difficult test questions are explained in a clear, step-by-step fashion to give students the skills to approach the test with confidence. Included are tips that are particularly useful for students who have been granted extended time to take the test.
