The new Must Know series is like a lightning bolt to the brainEvery school subject has must know ideas, or essential concepts, that lie behind it. This book uses that fact to help students learn in a unique way. Most self-study guides begin a chapter with a set of goals, often leaving the starting point unclear. In
Must Know SAT, however, each chapter immediately introduces students to the must know idea, or ideas, that lie behind each concept tested on the exam. As students learn these must know ideas, they are shown how to apply that knowledge to solving the problems featured on the SAT.

Clear explanations are accompanied by numerous examples and followed with more challenging aspects of the subject. Practical exercises close each chapter and instill learners with confidence in the topic at hand.
