In order to succeed on the SAT, it is most important to use your mind. If you
arrive at the testing area without your mind, you are sure to do poorly on the test.
(There have been reports of test takers in California who scored above 800
without their minds; these rumors have been investigated and have been found to
be vicious hoaxes.) Most of this book is devoted to training the mind to meet the
intellectual challenge that the SAT presents. However, a certain amount of
physical conditioning is necessary as well. Each year, thousands of students all
across the nation suffer from muscle fatigue, leg cramps, and spinal curvature as
a direct result of the SAT. Yes, the SAT can be a grueling, bone-breaking, lung-
collapsing experience for the ill-prepared. How can this be? How can taking a
test be so physically draining? Simply stated, all the misery is caused by the
beastly little desk pictured below.
