Dalla seconda/terza di copertina

(back cover)
Completely revised to reflect the current SAT test format, Simon's Saga for the SAT literally takes a "novel" approach to building students' verbal skills. Simon, a very cool college dude, shows college-bound kids around campus, introducing them to academic and social life. In the process, he helps them expand their vocabulary and develop overall verbal fluency. Simon emphasizes words and meanings students should know as they prepare to take the SAT. All new words to learn in Simon's story are printed in boldface type--your signal to check their definitions and correct usage. The boldface words appear with meanings and cross-references in a glossary at the back of the book.

This new edition's updated exercises reflect the question types as they appear on the latest version of the SAT--

More than 100 SAT-type Critical Reading questions

More than 300 SAT-type Sentence Completion questions

Simon's story also familiarizes students with ideas and issues in history, science, and culture that often appear in SAT Critical Reading passages. HereÆ?â??â??'s a practical and entertaining way for college-bound students to ace the very important Critical Reading section of the SAT.
