Just wondering, what is the best book out there that i can practice CR, because i bombed it on the march 27,2004 test. I want to be able to do reallly well on the CR part, and learn some more vocab.

Is Kaplans Verbal workbook, 4th edition good?

what else is there, and please, i know that im an idiot and i should have read literature and stuff like that, but im just not good at that stuff. i did read lit., and a lot of it for HOnors english..reading comprehension is arduous for me...

please help. thanks

Real SATs. There's absolutely no substitute. The passages and questions that test prep companies ask are not nearly as good.

kaplan verbal workbook is too easy. If you run out of Real SATs then I'd suggest buying princeton Review or Barrons (super hard)

get a prep book that has line reference questions, vocab in context, etc. Something similar to the real Sats. I went from 50% correct to over 80% because I kept practicing the techniques from pr. I was using a kaplan book that had 10 passages.
