Good, not not a game changer
Good book! I’m a junior studying for The Who-knows-what’s-happening SAT and I struggle with the reading section the most. Not a life changer but definitely is very in depth. To be honest I’m not a huge fan of the format because it cramps all the concepts together and then a long practice at the end of the section. I wished it was more explanatory and takes you through different scenarios and how to approach them. But overall it is worth it and you really do need a lot of self motivation to get through this book

Got my score from higher 600s to mid 700s in just three weeks
I think had I used this book for more time (I was a senior when using this and only had three weeks), I would have scored even more than 730. This book is very very good and helps you break down those tough hard questions on reading. Highly recommend, it’s a bit of a grind but if you stay disciplined, do the chapters and all the practice questions it will be well worth it.

Highly Recommended!!
One of the best book for SAT Reading preparation. This book was recommended by a good friend as his kid used it past year and my kid used this year and it helped to improve her reading section. I wish this author writes actual detail book for SAT and ACT.

Truly amazing quality.
Book came in great quality, no bends or creases on the spine or any folds on the pages. Only very miniscule creases on the very edge and corners of the cover (which was probably due to the shipping process) but apart from that, it looks like it came straight from the printing press.
