"Carly Biels' future is right on track: she's a great student (mostly As and Bs), her boyfriend, Brad, is captain of the lacrosse team; and she's a shoo-in for Princeton (Her dad's an alum - love that legacy status). she's never been great ast test taking (so nervewracking), but she's always figured she do well enough on the SAT to get by. But when Carly gets her results, she hast to face it; she tanked. Really tanked. Not even genius tutor Ronald Gross (rhymes with "floss") coud help her get her scores as high as she needs. Then she gets a mysterious note signed "The Taker". The Taker will take the SAT for her guaranteeing a score withing 150 points of perfect - for a price.
Does Carly: A) Agree to use the Taker? B)regret it? C)get in way over her head? D)All of the above."

The plot of this book was pretty good, but I wasn't particulary impressed with any of the characters. The main character, Carly, is really stuck up and kind of annoying throughout the book. J.M. Steele (with is actually two writers with their names combined) also wrote The Late Bloomer.
