The Princeton Review recognizes that acing the SAT Critical Reading and Writing sections is very different from getting straight A’s in English. We don’t try to teach you everything there is to know about reading, writing, and grammar–only the techniques and information you’ll need to score higher on the SAT. In Reading and Writing Workout for the SAT, we’ll teach you how to think like the test writers and
-Eliminate answer choices that look correct but are designed to confuse you
-Master the strategies for writing a strong essay on the SAT
-Tackle important writing material, including word choice, grammar, and usage
-Improve your Critical Reading score by effectively using clues in the questions and efficiently finding the main idea
This book includes flashcards of the words that most frequently appear on the SAT, plus more than 200 practice exercises. All of our practice test questions are like those you’ll see on the actual SAT, and we fully explain every solution.
the ideal springboard for test prep
| Customer Rating: | | I have used this book and its companion Math Workout for many years as a prep guide to tutor students. It should be digested over about 6 weeks, and should be used along with a book of practice tests to practice the techniques introduced in the chapters and problem sets. Also, the book's content requires drilling and pacing (practice practice) to work. Do not buy it with "Cracking the SAT" (which is a condensed version of the 2 workout books combined with a couple practice tests.) Explanations for all problem answers are given, making it helpful in understanding implementation of strategies. The occasional typos and, worse, occasional wrong answer choices listed for revised problems (with the old problem explanation accompanying) make the editing of this book sometimes surprisingly sloppy. The flash cards are silly, since flash cards only work when self-prepared, but they do have nice sentence examples. Still, the basic messages of this book--with its Math Workout twin--are the best available. |
Good For Starters... Only!
| Customer Rating: | This book is only good for starters. If you think you can get a good score just by reading this book then be prepared to be rejected by the college you want to get in!
I'm putting 4 stars on this book based on how it is written. It's easy to understand, and is good for people who have just started studying for the SAT. It's concise and to the point and easy to understand. The vocabs on the back is helpful too!
And I agree with the others that this book is too short! I hate that!
Again, GOOD FOR STARTERS ONLY!!!

Disgustingly terrible. Not surprised.
| Customer Rating: | This is the WORST prep book for the SAT (along with the Princeton Review's Math workout). Do not buy this, it is extremely short and is filled with errors ranging from incorrect answers to faulty grammar. Having grammatical errors in a SAT Reading and writing prep book shows how seriously PR takes the SAT. I felt like I was editing the damn thing.
Another thing to note is THEY USE THE SAME QUESTIONS MULTIPLE TIMES. I do not understand the point of this... too lazy to make up new questions? I bought both the Reading and Math book and feel cheated and used. This is a warning out there to everyone, do not waste your precious time on this book. As I have said in my other review, somebody sue these flukes. |
way too short
| Customer Rating: | | This book was useless as it was way too short...don't bother.... |
Very helpful
| Customer Rating: | | This book is perfect for anyone having trouble on the Writing and Critical Reading section. To me, it felt like this book went into much more detail than the basic book that the Princeton Review releases. Even reveils some unknown tactics. Really really good. Worth every penny. |
