Not really the same level as the SAT
The problems are worth doing, but the level of difficulty is not that of an SAT. In SAT critical reading questions, you will often be asked to make judgements based on a gut feeling of what the author was trying to portray. Also, the SAT readings can contain a few lines that are quite incomprehensible, and you are forced to answer questions even though you are in a state of partial confusion. There are neither of these pitfalls to be seen in this book. Also the readings in this book are shorter. For these reasons, this book has to be supplemented with others for a really good preparation for SAT critical reading.

Patience is the key
I used this book to study for the SAT Verbal. I scored well over 200 points after finishing this book ( from 510 to 760 ) ! As in almost every standardized test, long term planning is the key. This book is very very comprehensive and should be used for the patient and the long term planner. The other SAT verbal books mainly deal with memorizing Vocabulary. However, app. half of the SAT verbal questions and points are Reading Comprehension. Quite often, these SAT books give you a few RC samples and advise an overly generalized method. This book is specifically committed in tackling these specific questions with lots of examples and an emphasis on self-learning. With consistent effort and patience, you will score BIG! The only thing that turned me off about this book is that it can be repetitive and boring. You get pummeled by sooo many actual RC questions that you just get sick of it! But it's worth the effort. Along the way, you will master RC questions and smile! ... Read more
