Customer Reviews

so-so
The book is not okay, but not that great.
I like it for the practice problems though, but from doing Problems by college board, i feel the Kaplan is a bit easiler.
I think the explaination is good, better than collegeboard ones.
This is only a practice book, no good tips and other stuff

It did help. But not much like the real SAT
I am a Chinese student who have currently took the SAT Reasoning Test. This book did help, but the samples in it is not that much like the real critical reading questions in some way.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
I used this book and scored a 770 on the march 12 sat critical reading section. A massive improvment from my original 580. The most helpful part of this book was the explinations. Each one adds on to your understanding of exactly what CR tests and they REALLY help! When I answered a question I thought I had gotten right but I had really gotten wrong, (or questions I didn't know/guessed on) the explinations really made me understand and let me tackle questions like that in the future. This book offers a great deal of quite realistic practice. The vocab list was very helpful and many words on the test that were in this book, including the really hard ones! I recomend the offical guide with this book for real questions!
