Most SAT guides concentrate on Math and Writing, only briefly touching on Critical Reading; The SAT Reading Bible, however, dedicates the entirety of its 450 pages to detailed methodologies that have been proven to raise student capabilities, confidence, and ultimately their scores in this most difficult section of the SAT.
The SAT Reading Bible includes:
Instructions for deconstructing the four types of question stems in Sentence Completion questions
Key identifiers for the 6 types of wrong answer traps in Sentence Completion questions
Strategies for decoding difficult vocabulary
A vocabulary diagnostic to determine the extent of study of vocabulary words
A glossary of common SAT root words, prefixes, and suffixes

Analysis of Passage-Based Reading right and wrong answer choices, including 6 types of answer traps
Directions for deconstructing the 3 main types of Passage Based Reading questions (Vocabulary-in-Context, Literal Comprehension, and Extended Reasoning questions) and 13 question sub-types (such as Comparisons and General Inferences)
Over 300 example and practice questions in Sentence Completion and Passage-Based Reading, all with full explanations
