The Critical Reader, Fourth Edition: The Complete Guide to SAT Reading

I think had I used this book for more time (I was a senior when using this and only had three weeks), I would have scored even more than 730. This book is very very good and helps you break down those tough hard questions on reading. Highly recommend, it’s a bit of a grind but if you stay disciplined, do the chapters and all the practice questions it will be well worth it.

Helped me get a much better score on the reading section. Has a lot of examples and different question types you might encounter during the test. I would recommend getting this book if you're taking the paper SAT.

The book offers detailed explanations of reading strategies and breaks down different question types, making it easier to understand how to approach the SAT’s reading section. The practice questions closely resemble those on the actual test, which provides a realistic prep experience.What I really appreciate is the thoroughness of the explanations, which clarify why each answer is correct or incorrect. However, the material can be dense at times, and it might be overwhelming for those looking for a lighter, more approachable study guide. Overall, it's a fantastic tool for serious students aiming for a higher SAT score!

Thriftbooks sold this book and as mentioned book had no markings, highlights, and looks new.

The book is in very good condition.Thank you!

Thanks

As advertised, there’s barely any blemishes and very limited writting

This book was listed as in Very good condition. Most of the pages had writing underlines, and answers were marked in practice test pages. These were mostly pencil marks. So I could erase them. Nevertheless, since there were too many pages with answers marked for a test prep book, it was not in very good condition.

it is good for beginner for SAT. it includes a lot of explain for strategy.

Book came in great quality, no bends or creases on the spine or any folds on the pages. Only very miniscule creases on the very edge and corners of the cover (which was probably due to the shipping process) but apart from that, it looks like it came straight from the printing press.
