Verbal Review and Workbook for the Scholastic Aptitude Test
This book is a complete guide to preparing for the verbal part of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). It includes practice tests, word lists, information charts, and test-taking strategies—all of the standard materials of test preparation guides.
Yet this book is unique in its approach to learning. Instead of merely explaining each section of the verbal SAT separately, this book presents 20 Reading and Vocabulary Units, each of which prepares students for the entire verbal SAT. The readings have been selected because of their excellence. Each selection is, in its own way, a literary classic. Because of the method of instruction, the high quality of the readings, and the difficulty level of the vocabulary, this book will aid students in developing basic English skills as well as helping improve their verbal SAT score.
