Reading and Writing Workout for the SAT

the ideal springboard for test prep
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I have used this book and its companion Math Workout for many years as a prep guide to tutor students. It should be digested over about 6 weeks, and should be used along with a book of practice tests to practice the techniques introduced in the chapters and problem sets. Also, the book's content requires drilling and pacing (practice practice) to work. Do not buy it with "Cracking the SAT" (which is a condensed version of the 2 workout books combined with a couple practice tests.) Explanations for all problem answers are given, making it helpful in understanding implementation of strategies. The occasional typos and, worse, occasional wrong answer choices listed for revised problems (with the old problem explanation accompanying) make the editing of this book sometimes surprisingly sloppy. The flash cards are silly, since flash cards only work when self-prepared, but they do have nice sentence examples. Still, the basic messages of this book--with its Math Workout twin--are the best available.
Good For Starters... Only!

This book is only good for starters. If you think you can get a good score just by reading this book then be prepared to be rejected by the college you want to get in! I'm putting 4 stars on this book based on how it is written. It's easy to understand, and is good for people who have just started studying for the SAT. It's concise and to the point and easy to understand. The vocabs on the back is helpful too! And I agree with the others that this book is too short! I hate that! Again, GOOD FOR STARTERS ONLY!!!
Very helpful

This book is perfect for anyone having trouble on the Writing and Critical Reading section. To me, it felt like this book went into much more detail than the basic book that the Princeton Review releases. Even reveils some unknown tactics. Really really good. Worth every penny.
