More specifically, it is to teach you to apply those concepts to the specific ways in which they are tested on the exam. Instead of providing explanations and examples for a single version of a rule and leaving you to deduce its subtler or more complex applications, this book walks you through multiple iterations of each concept, showing you how it can be tested from various angles and in combination with other concepts.  \nAt the same time, however, this book is intended to teach you to simplify – that is, to quickly identify just what each question type is testing so that you do not become distracted by irrelevant details, and to reduce seemingly complicated questions down to their essential terms. Concepts guaranteed to be tested on every exam are presented first, while less frequently tested ones are presented later. In addition, concepts that could plausibly be tested but that have not (yet) appeared on a released exam are noted as such in the text.  \nIn order to make your transition to the actual test as smooth as possible, this book is intended to complement the eight official College Board Guide/Khan Academy practice exams  \n([https://www.khanacademy.org/test-prep/sat/full-length-sat-1/paper-sat-tests/a/full-length-sats-to](https://www.khanacademy.org/test-prep/sat/full-length-sat-1/paper-sat-tests/a/full-length-sats-to)take-on-paper) .  \nIf you have a limited amount of time to prepare for the SAT, you should work as follows: take a College Board practice test as a diagnostic.
