SAT Reading & Writing Prep

Book Preface

Become Familiar With The Sat Evidence-Based Reading And Writing And Essay Tests

Learn the structure of the SAT Reading, Writing, and Essay Tests-what kinds of questions appear on them, how they are scored, and how to best approach each one. Knowing what to expect will set you up for success as you prepare. You will find all the information you need in the next few pages of Kaplan’s SAT Reading and Writing Prep.
Practice Sets

This book contains a total of 19 practice sets: eight for Reading, eight for Writing & Language, and three for the Essay. Each section is preceded by a brief instructional review that includes the applicable Kaplan Methods and Strategies for that part of the SAT.
Answers & Explanations

Following each practice set, you will find detailed answers and explanations. Use these to determine why you answered a question incorrectly and how to avoid the same mistakes on similar questions in the future. Each explanation includes both advice on how to approach similar questions and a detailed step-by-step solution. Read the explanations for questions you answered correctly to ensure your reasoning in selecting the correct answer was sound.
Practice Test

When you have completed all of the practice sets, take the Practice Test under test-like conditions, using the timing indicated for each section of the test, which is approximately two-and-a-half hours long. Make sure to check your answers, calculate your score using the conversion chart provided, and read the answers and explanations to reinforce what you’ve learned.
