Extensive strategies for simplifying and answering paired supporting evidence questions as well as graph- and chart-based data analysis questions.
A list of alternate definitions of common words, plus strategies for using context clues to decipher the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary.

Perfect! The book is amazing Perfect! The book is amazing, it has been on my wish list since last year and I totally raised my score to +700. The explanations are really good and they come along with exercises for each skill.Best Author. Best Author. Help me to boost my reading score.Amazing, Thorough Prep Book TL;DR: If you are a self-motivated person, I recommend buying this prep book due to the thorough explanations, good paper quality, and plenty of practice problems (with thorough explanations of the correct answers) albeit the textbook-like nature of the book. No pain, no gain!Let me preface by describing what kind of student I am. I am a rising junior that has self-motivation to study independently. I wanted to get a SAT Prep book that is higher quality than the run-of-the mill SAT Prep Books out there. For reference, I have read cover to cover the 2016 edition of the Kaplan SAT Prep book. Using that only, my PSAT score was 1350, 690 in Math and 660 in reading. For some, this is a good score. However, I wanted to push beyond that and perhaps score above a 1500. I have never went to any tutoring places.Along with this book, I am using the practice on Khan Academy. After my October 2017 test, I will try to update my review.Pros about this book:Very Thorough Explantions: Ms.Meltzer's explanation are very high quality and it is almost as if I have her by my side explaining the mistakes I made. I am not the most talented when it comes to English, however with Ms.Meltzer's explanation of the what the SAT test likes to regularly test, and the fundamentals of English, I feel like I am learning more from this book than I have done this past English class.Good Paper Quality: I don't know about anyone else, but I personally hate the flimsy, newspapery paper of the mass produced SAT Prep books (like Kaplan, Princeton, Barron's, etc). Just a personal preferencePlenty of Practice: The book is divided into chapters of study. In each chapter, there is an explanation of the concept, along with a couple of practice problems that Ms.Meltzer walks you through. As I said, the explanations are killer. What I like even more is that the chapter has EVEN MORE PRACTICE QUESTIONS at the back of the chapter, and it tests only on the topic you learned. For example, if the chapter is Vocabulary in Context, there is a couple Vocab in Context practice problems and then even more practice problems (with answers and explanations on a separate page) paired with full length articles. I really like this feature of the book.Cons:Price(?): At first I was a little hesitant on buying the book because of how expensive the book was relative to its pages (I purchase everything out of my pocket). However as I am 3/4th done with the book, I don't regret paying the price for the quality of this book.Textbook-Like: The only, ONLY, complaint I have about this book is that BECAUSE it is so thorough, the explanations can get a little dry, especially if you are working independently. I admit, there are times when I am self-studying and I get really bored reading after reading. But honestly, this is totally tolerable and doable.At first I was going to write the review AFTER I have taken my test and AFTER I received my score. However, because of the high quality nature of this book for a person like me, I wanted to give my two cents.
