This was a very exhaustive test preparation guide. I feel like it did a good job of breaking down all of the parts of the RICA and helping me make a plan for finally taking it. I also appreciated how each chapter discussed the impact or process for supporting struggling readers, English Learners, and Advanced readers.

It helped me pass; I recommend it! (Especially digital version on Pearson+ app. You can download it on the app, read and study the hell out of it for 2 weeks and return for full refund, but you didn't hear that from me.)
