Reading & Writing Test Book: Digital SAT®

For daughter prepping for SATs

This author keeps things simple and to the point, which my students need. There is a lot of practice included.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Invaluable Resource for SAT PrepI've been teaching the SAT for 21 years, and after incorporating Meltzer's materials into my instruction, I've seen even greater improvements in my students' scores. The content is challenging—in the best way—highly consistent, and incredibly effective in building the skills necessary for success on the test. This is by far one of the most valuable SAT prep resources available, and I highly recommend it to both students and educators.

The book test 1 is a copy of the official college board questions adding TOO MANY errors and answers left and right. Same article and same math question! Plagiarism. It asks you to leave a good review and then give you some tips. Also the 10 online tests are not full tests!! They Are 10 question test…lol. How could such a book be offered for anyone to purchase. Waste of people’s time…

The material is good, but there's an error on page 5 which directs you to scoring for the old SAT, not the digital version. I believe there's an error on page 29. It states that for question 13, "D", is the correct answer, but it misreads the graph and contradicts the "D" answer explanation later in the book, by stating that "Avignon's rank was much lower in 1600" when it was actually higher. It's probably just a typo, but it's confusing. I haven't worked the remaining 2 modules yet, but so far, the material seems comparable to that in the College Board Book.

The description suggests the book will work through the different types of digital SAT reading and writing questions, thus helping the student learn how to answer these. The book's cover says "includes 3 full practice tests." What it really should say is "This book ONLY contains three practice tests -- nothing more!" In my opinion, a complete waste of money. College Board gives away FOR FREE at least four digital practice tests online and will probably be adding more. I expected to see a series of questions that worked the student through inferences, cross-text connections, words in context, main ideas, purpose, and standard English conventions. What I got was just three more practice tests.

This is an ok book. This is not realistic practice, however, as they do not include two potential second modules (so these tests are not adaptive like the real exam) and also the question order within each module is screwed up. The book seems to randomly place Text Structure and Purpose, Cross-Text Connections, Central Ideas and Details, Command of Evidence, and Inference questions and mix them up, but on the actual exam the questions should appear in that exact order as specified in the exam specifications. A bit disappointed as this author has a very strong reputation and you'd think she would have been aware of that. I hope this is fixed in later editions.

just get the grammar guide not this - unhelpful. lots of mistakes..
