About the Author:
Dr. Gruber is recognized nationally as the leading expert on standardized tests and originator and developer of the critical thinking skills necessary for use on standardized tests. It is said that no one in the nation is better at assessing the thinking patterns of “how” a person answers questions and providing the mechanism to improve the faulty thinking approaches. His SAT score improvements with students have been documented to be the highest in the nation.
Dr. Gruber’s unique methods have been used by Public Television(PBS),Sylvan Learning Centers and Grolier’s Encyclopedia, and are being used by school districtsthroughout the country, in homes and workplaces across the nation and by a host of other entities. Most recently he has trained the University of California ’s teachers to create programs for specific critical thinking and problem solving skills for the minority programs.
Dr. Gruber (doctorate in physics) has published more than 30 books with major publishers on test-taking and critical thinking methods, with over 7 million copies sold. (At one point, three of his books were listed among the 30 top-selling trade paperback books in the nation.)
Dr. Gruber’s quest started in fifth grade when he received a 90IQ (below normal) on an IQ test and became determined to find out what made up intelligence. He subsequently developed powerful thinking strategies which are now used by millions. Because of Gruber’s tenacity, enjoyment and creativity in solving problems and using the strategies he has developed and honed for years, the Washington Post has recently called him “the super genius.”
Dr. Gruber’s work is consistently featured on numerous national television programs including Good Morning America, The Today Show, NBC Nightly News and in newspapers and magazines throughout the country. One of his earlier SAT books, Gruber’s Inside Strategies for the SAT,was rated bythe Washington Post as the best commercialSATbook and “the only book that would help a test-taker.” Dr. Gruber also writes syndicated newspaper articles regularly on the SAT, test taking, creativity and intelligence, (syndication by the Los AngelesTimes Syndicate,the New YorkTimes Syndicate,Universal Press Syndicate, and Gannett News Service).
