501 Reading Comprehension Questions

Absolutely nothing of any value.

There is nothing wrong with this book but the reading practice inside is of a high school level. I purchsed it to use with my middle school students but gave it to the high school teacher. I think the reading level should be posted with these items so other teachers don't run into the same problem.

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!
