SAT Sentence Completion Workbook

Book excerpt: The SAT Sentence Completion Workbook offers students studying for the SAT the chance to apply their vocabulary knowledge to 350+ practice sentence completions, grouped by both level (easy, medium, and hard) and in SAT-style sets of 5-8 questions in ascending order of difficulty. All questions feature words used on recent SATs, with an emphasis on high-frequency vocabulary, and a thorough explanation is provided for each question. This book also includes strategies for working through challenging sentence completions; 25 top word lists as well as a breakdown of words by category; a list of common roots and prefixes; and a list of 50 common words with multiple meanings. It can be used effectively by students who seek to improve on easy and medium sentence completions as well as those aiming to consistently answer the most difficult questions. Please note: the discussion of strategies and vocabulary/root lists in this book are excerpted from The Critical Reader. The 350 practice items and explanations are entirely original and appear in print for the first time here.
