My son is an advanced middle schooler who is eager to begin college classes as soon as possible. Because verbal comprehension is so important, not just for testing, but for his desired career in science, we've been stocking up on books to give him the best possible advantage. We both are really enjoying this Verbal SAT book. It takes a gentle approach to larger and more complex vocabulary words.  In terms of test prep, this book will help prepare a student for the reading and writing portions. 

There are 162 daily instructional worksheets, on which the student is to break down and correct an ungrammatical sentence, then dissect a vocabulary word, and finally, complete an analogous exercise related to that vocabulary word. Quizzes are to be taken after completing 18 daily worksheets.
