Nailing the New SAT

In 1980, when he was education editor of the New York Times, Edward B. Fiske sensed that college-bound students and their families needed better information on which to base their educational choices. Thus was born Fiske Guide to Colleges. A graduate of Wesleyan University, Ted did graduate work at Columbia University and assorted other bastions of higher learning. He left the Times in 1991 to pursue a variety of educational and journalistic interests, including a book on school reform, Smart Schools, Smart Kids. When not visiting colleges, he can be found playing tennis, sailing, or doing research on the educational problems of Third World countries for UNESCO and other international organizations. Ted lives in Durham, North Carolina, near the campus of Duke University, where his wife is a member of the faculty. They are coauthors of When Schools Compete: A Cautionary Tale and Elusive Equality: Education Reform in Post-Apartheid South Africa. Since entering Yale in the early 1980s, Bruce G. Hammond has devoted much of his time to counseling students about college admissions. At Yale, Hammond was editor-in-chief of the Insider's Guide to the Colleges. He subsequently served as managing editor of Fiske Guide to Colleges, and is also the author of Discounts and Deals at the Nation's 360 Best Colleges. He has been quoted in numerous national publications, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, the Washington Post, U.S. News and World Report, Business Week, Money Magazine, and Good Housekeeping.
