First is a 25-minute period during which students must write an essay on a given topic. Later, students must answer multiple-choice questions that test their skill in correcting poorly-written sentences, finding mistakes in grammar and usage, and correcting mistakes in the first-draft version of a student essay. This manual familiarizes students with all aspects of the SAT Writing Test and presents review chapters and questions with answers that are designed to hone test-takers' skills. Also included is a helpful overview of the Writing Test and details on how student essays are scored. This manual presents five writing tests. The first introduces students to the test's format and the following four are similar to the actual SAT writing test in length and question types. All tests have answers and explanations, and come with instructions on how students can convert their practice test score to the familiar SAT scale of 200-800. Average Rating:

Of the collection of SAT books on my shelf, this entry from Barron's is the one I use most often for supplementary practice and reinforcement. Barron's approach is to give much practice on writing and evaluation essays while providing much practice in specific components of the essay like main idea, supporting ...

But be ready to handle the book very carefully as if it is an antique book because of very poor paper quality! I keep it in its original postal package all the time in order not to tear pages. Rating: - good book to haveWhen i take self SAT Exam,I get 100 point more by doing all problem of this book. Rating: - Great Workbook!Buy it now!I purchased this workbook because i got a 500 in my writing section of the SAT. It has some typos here and there but they are only blemishes to anyone who can read. Be warned: this is A LOT of work. If you don't have at least a month an a half in advance to prepare for the SAT, don't buy this book. You won't get through it. On the other hand, if you prepare well this gem will improve your scores dramatically. There are rewards for every minute of studying that you do with this book. Read More
