This book is probably the best resource out there if you are like me, who guarantees your math score at the 700's range but is terrible at reading. The last couple of practice tests I took (before buying this book) I was scoring in the 590's range for the Reading section. Frustrated, I decided to pick this book up to try and see if it would change anything. I read it completely, highlighting key information, marking important pages to review later, etc. from beginning to end, and it paid off. The first practice test I took awarded me with a sweet 710 for the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section. I got 5 questions wrong on the Reading part, compared to the over 15 I would get before reading this book.The book is a comprehensive guide to the SAT Reading. It covers every question in the test and gives you tips and tricks on how to approach such questions. The great thing about this book is the way it makes you think of the Reading section: instead of mindlessly reading passages, focusing on small little details and pretty much guessing when you come down to two questions that you "think might be right", after reading this book you will approach passages and questions in a much more systematical and objective manner, which greatly increases your score.Overall, I have no reason to not recommend this book. Before reading it, I always thought that there was nothing I could do to raise my score. I know how to read and I know how to circle in an answer choice, what else do I need? Well, this book tells you! If you struggle with Reading and see yourself in a plateau that you just can't get off of, I highly recommend this masterpiece by Erica Meltzer, you sure won't regret it!

This is the book for students who don't have any idea for SAT reading and also for the students would like to get more detail what SAT reading looks like. I suggest all students who are preparing SAT should have this book.

まあまあ。

中で、同じ文章が使い回されてる。それを例として示しているのは、問題の傾向です。指示語問題や、言い換え問題などかな。SATには、こんな指示語問題が出ますよ、解き方はこうですよ、と、長々と解き方の説明が延々続く感じかな。とりあえず、半分読んで、置いてます。文章自体は語彙の難易度が高くよし。capillaryなど。
