I've never seen of that site...EVER. It looks dubious, but you never know.
That book (commonly referred to as the "Green Book") will help immensely, but I didn't find the CD to be of much use. The Scan portion and Letter factory were completely different from the test, and the timing on the math/angles portion had much faster time limits(ridiculously so, so don't anticipate that). Others beg to differ...
AT-SAT Information
Every link on this page will help.
Any other questions, please feel free to ask. Make sure you nail the math section -- it's weighted very heavily...
Also, I'm too lazy to check if this site is on that page but
www.jeremyjustice.com/games has great Scan & AT-SAT Scenario games to practice.
Just remember with the Scenario one -- on the test:
- The screen will only re-load every 7 seconds (so make the right decision the first time).
- You'll need to triple-click each plane (once for speed, once for altitude, once for direction) - very annoying.
- You cannot fly over the airports (at any altitude) or very close to the borders. On Jeremy Justice, I had used the borders as a bit of a pathway for some planes, but it's not a good habit to get into, because the official game will consider it a separation error.
- It is also easier to land on the test itself -- the borders are not as sensitive, and the landing direction does not change quite as often.
- You need to click each plane as it enters the screen, and it times how quickly you notice and assign it an altitude/direction/speed. Don't leave them hanging.
- There will be less planes on your screen, but it's always best to be comfortable with more.
- With the online game, you will need to pace YOURSELF, because the AT-SAT will time you on how efficiently you get the planes where they need to be. It's easy to get into bad habits with JJ in this regard.
I wouldn't worry about the Scan portion at all - very easy. Also, there is no real way to prepare for the analogies (they are mostly pictoral...it was pretty easy for me, but others had trouble), or the letter factory questions. Just try to maintain as much awareness you can about the color of the last letter you dropped into a box, color of the last box you picked, how many letters were in each box, and at what height was the line of each row (if that makes sense), and which of those were going at the fastest and slowest speeds. I usually just remembered where the highest and lowest ones were, and that was sufficient. It slows down when the questions are going to come, so make sure you give it a good look around then! The ordering boxes part on the test is much easier - I got into the habit of ordering them immediately once I was down to one of a certain color to avoid issue. Don't order boxes any earlier, or it will b#tch and deduct points. You're being too efficient, you see.
That's about it. Oh, and don't flip out when it gives you really low efficiency scores on the Scenarios portion on the real test. I swear they are half-attempting to psych you out, and see how you perform after the stress of failure.
feel like i'm missing something
