Winners' Guide to SAT Reading Comprehension Ebook

Winners' Guide to SAT Reading Comprehension

This ebook will help you Identify & rectify your 'Reading Blocks' &
Triple your reading speed within a few days.

If I were to point out one single skill that strongly correlates with your final SAT Score, it would be 'Reading'.

Ability to read fast not only helps for the RC section of the SAT, but is also invaluable in the
whole of the Verbal section.

Moreover, a fast reader can shave off seconds on each Math problem by reading and
digesting the information quickly.

But there is more..... being able to read faster will also help you throughout your career. Most
of the top professionals have reading speeds that are double the national average.

Good Reading skills will not only help you immensely on ALL sections of the SAT, but
throughout your college & your professional career.

So how do you improve your Reading skills?

Well, if you look at hundreds of 'Reading Programmes' available in the market, each one
pushing their own 'strategies & techniques', it is easy to get confused.

Is there a book or a programme that helps you improve your Reading Speed, but with
reference to the sat exam?

Unfortunately, there is none!!

Well, there was none, till the 'Winners' Guide to SAT Reading' came along.

This is book that contains winning strategies for improving your reading speed, and more
importantly, enables you to apply these to the SAT RC section.

Some of the unique features of this book are:

1. Addresses the problem rather than the symptoms. It does not give you dry tips to
   improve your performance in RC. It gives you strategies to improve your Reading Speed and
   then applies these strategies to the RC section.
2. Contains proven methods that have helped scores of students double/triple their
   reading speed WITH Better Comprehension.
3. A thorough analysis of various RC question types and strategies you can apply to
   each of these.
4. Detailed discussion of which strategies you can apply to come out a Winner on the
   SAT RC.
5. Over 100+ Unique RC questions from varied passages for you to practice your
   newfound skills.

Reading is natural to all of us & poor reading is more because of bad reading habits rather
than any innate disability.

Using the right techniques and methods, it is possible to get rid of poor reading habits and
considerably increase your Reading Speed.

This comprehensive 150+ page book will do just that. It will help you:

• Identify the 'blocks' to reading faster.
• Clear these blocks and double/triple your reading speed.
• To apply the same strategies that SAT RC Winners use to get that 99 percentile.

And above all, it will help you become a better and faster reader in a much shorter time than
any other course/book/programme.

Over the years that I have taught the SAT Verbal, and from my own SAT & GMAT experience

( I have scored 99 percentile in GMAT Verbal. See my score here), I have compiled this book to

specifically help out students who want to improve their reading skills in general & score big on

the SAT Reading Comprehension section in particular.

Why Should you Buy this Guide?

Reading is perhaps the most important skill on the SAT.

Most of the commonly available SAT prep books address the symptoms rather than the
problem of slow reading, resulting only in incremental improvements in your RC performance.

You simply cannot improve your SAT RC performance without addressing the underlying
causes of slow reading and getting rid of 'bad' reading habits.

I have trained scores of smart students, who did well in All sections of the SAT, except the
RC.
And this is primarily because reading skills take time to develop, and you need to thoroughly
understand your reading habits and focus on improvement areas.

Over the years, we have closely observed which techniques/methods result in maximum
improvement in reading skills in the minimum time.

These concepts are now included in the 'Winners' Guide to SAT Reading Comprehension'.

This book focuses not only on the reading techniques, but how to apply these techniques to
solving the various types of SAT passages and questions.

One of the most important parameter that the admissions committee looks for, is their English
score.
Your Verbal score doesn't have to be in the nineties, but the closer the better. It has to be high
enough to convince them that you deserve that offer letter.

This guide has been especially written from real life experience teaching the nuances of
Reading Comprehension to hundreds of students..

This guide was originally prepared exclusively for students who take private coaching from my-
sat.
