When you think about writing the SAT essay you probably get a warm, fuzzy feeling in your stomach right?
Not likely; if you’re like many students, the essay is one part of the SAT you’d rather skip, but because it’s an essential element of this test, the smart student (that’s you!) knows it’s best to prepare for writing the essay well before test day (or do you?).
To help you write your best essay, any student preparing for the SAT should read my SAT essay guidebook titled Write the Best SAT Essay of Your Life. This book covers the secrets and methodology behind writing your best SAT essay ever!
While you may think that you have nailed the art of essay writing in high school, think again.
If you’re not specifically prepared to write the SAT essay, which is NOT like other essays, you’re not prepared at all.
Feel more confident with my SAT Essay Guides:
What could be better than walking into the SAT with an idea of the essay prompts and having already selected your evidence, knowing exactly what evidence to pick and what not to pick?
Wouldn’t it be great to already know the format and structure you were going to use, and just how long your essay should be?
Would it benefit your writing if you could learn the elements most important to your essay intro paragraph?

Do you know the most effective methods for brainstorming?
What about the top ways to build your SAT vocabulary and strengthen your writing?
These are all secrets that could only have been discovered by a professional SAT tutor with over 1000 hours professional tutoring experience and who, at the age of only 24, achieved a perfect SAT score.
My SAT essay guide will teach you the methods to writing that you need to know to succeed from someone who has already done it.
There are secrets of SAT essay grading that you probably don’t know.
This book will reveal these secrets (not in an attempt to ‘cheat’ the system) but to point out what they look for when grading your work.
How can you write the perfect essay if you don’t know how they grade your work?
Like I tell my students, writing the SAT essay is like playing a game (ok, a very boring game), and you just have to play by the rules so that the referees don’t penalize you.
Give the graders what they need to see and what they expect to hear. It’s easy with just a little bit of guidance and practice to improve your essay score by 2, 4, or even 6 points, and raise your overall SAT score with a significant 40 to 100 point increase – enough points to make the difference between being accepted and being rejected by your favorite college or scholarship.
More SAT Essay Reference Materials:
If you’re looking for SAT essay reference material, you won’t find a better book than my popular Top 30 Examples to use as SAT Essay Evidence.
Many students mistakenly believe that their essay writing skills are much stronger than they really are, and as a result, lose points unnecessarily.
If you’re not getting a perfect-12, you’re losing points that you can easily win back by including stronger evidence to support your writing.
These 30 examples, chosen to provide inspiration and interesting information, include characters such as adventurers, musicians, artists and athletes; classic books and new works of literature; politicians and other great leaders, scientists, mathematicians and not to forget, personal examples from the author that you can adapt to your own life.
You can also enroll in my Conquer SAT Vocabulary video course for a hi-def video course, quizzes, and additional reading to boost your vocabulary and verbal skills – this will also help with the essay!

Hi :)
I’ve been following your blog since August and its great. I have my exam in May and I wanted to buy your SAT Essay Examples book. Thing is, I live outside the US and shipping takes a while. Is your book available in ebook format, instead of paperback?
Hey, thanks for the kind words! Encouragement from my students has ALWAYS been what keeps me going and I can’t get enough of it, hahaha.
Ok – good news – I’ve got you covered. If you click on the “Premium SAT Books” tab at the top navigation you’ll be taken to a page where you can use PayPal to buy ALL my books at once as PDF e-books.
This is actually by far the best way to get the books – it’s currently less expensive to get ALL of them digitally than it is to buy ONE of them in paperback, since there’s no printing/shipping cost!
One more question – do you think I could make it more obvious to site visitors that they can get my books via download, and if so, how could I help visitors find it? Thanks so much for your feedback :)
Hope this helps and thanks again for your kind words,
– Christian
Yay :D
I did see that link, but I wasn’t sure if that PayPal order was for the ebook or the actual paperback. Thank you SO much for clearing that up *and* for the amazing offer. It’s been an enormous help! I have major issues with the essay section and I’ve been wanting your book for a while now.
I think mentioning that the ‘download’ actually means ‘download as an ebook’ would help, because shipping isn’t super fast or all that convinient in many countries— and you have tons of international students giving the SAT (this is where blogs like this also help in SAT prep). Oh, and the part where they’re less expensive than the physical copies would help too, haha.
Moreover, I find that ebooks are a great way to study for the SAT because physical copies of SAT guides like McGraw-Hill and the Official SAT Guide aren’t all that easily available in bookstores in some countries.
Best of luck and thanks again!
