TABLE OF CONTENTS

This book will help you prepare for the first two sections of the SAT: the Reading Test and the Writing and Language Test. Your scores from each of these two tests will range from 1040. These scores will be summed and then scaled to a 200800 score. The result will be your Evidence-Based Reading and Writing score.

Start by becoming familiar with the structure of these sections. Then work your way through the chapters of this book and do as many of the practice sets as you have time for between now and test day. Be sure to review the explanations carefully. (Review them even for questions you got right, to make sure your reasoning is sound.) As your test date approaches, take the Reading Test and Writing and Language Test found at the end of this book. Do this in a quiet environment and use the indicated timing guidelines. Again, be sure to review the explanations to reinforce what youve learned.

Elimination and Guessing

Note that there is no penalty for guessing on the SAT, so it is in your best interest to answer every question. Ideally, taking a strategic guess means eliminating one or more choices and guessing from the rest to boost your chances of getting the question correct. However, if you are pressed for time, taking a guess on a potentially time-consuming questioneven without eliminating any of the choicescan help you get to more questions and get more points out of a section.

The SAT Reading section consists of five passages with a total of 52 questions based on them. Youll have 65 minutes to complete the section, which means that in order to answer all the questions, youll need to complete each passage and its associated question set in about 13 minutes. Some passages will be longer (and thus more time-consuming) than others, but 13 minutes per passage should be your average pace.

Each SAT Reading passage is accompanied by 10 or 11 questions. Two or three of the questions may ask about the passage as a whole. The others will ask about specific paragraphs, details, or other elements within the passage. Youll need to use deliberate reading strategies to answer all of the questions quickly and accurately, with a minimum of rereading.

Because the SAT Reading section often presents questions that can easily trip you up if you try to answer them from memory, and because some of the questions ask about the passage as a whole, the best reading strategy is one called passage mapping. Passage mapping means reading the passage fairly quickly, without trying to memorize every detail, while taking brief notes of the main features of each paragraph. Taking notes accomplishes two goals: it helps you focus on the most important points as you read, and it provides you with an outline that you can use to quickly zero in on the right part of the passage to revisit to find the details for a particular question. Once you have finished reading, take a moment to consider the
