Here's an enlightening investigation of the lifestyles and study habits of SAT perfect-score achievers. Don't expect the findings to push every test taker to the top, but they do shed some light on what it takes to get there. Fischgrund, a professional educator and executive recruiter, surveyed a select number of 1,600 achievers, comparing their responses with a control group to bring out the idea that there's more to scoring high than simply being smart. He brings together his findings in "seven secrets" that any motivated student can apply. Along with the practicalities, Fischgrund presents some interesting background on the test itself, an examination that has become, for good or ill, almost a rite of passage among high-school seniors. The practical takes a back seat to the sociological, though, so this may not be a first choice for teens preparing for exams. Still, some of the revelations are bound to surprise not only those who aim for perfection but their parents and teachers as well. Stephanie Zvirin
