CHAPTER ONE
Introduction

People on the Internet love to tell me that I’m wrong. Among my “controversial”
opinions are

● Vocabulary is important
● Cultural and generational bias exists on the SAT
● Grinding question after question won’t get you perfect on the Reading section

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Of course, these “experts” wait to chime in until some
unsuspecting person attempts to provide an answer to a question. Where were they when
you first asked the question? Who knows. They just seem to wait and pounce on any flaw
they can tease out of any answer. They like to offer contradictory advice because they
were able to achieve a perfect score with a minimum of effort, and therefore they are
experts in the test, teaching, and your personal set of circumstances.

Great.
Why am I telling you this?

I’m telling you this because the ideas in this and my other books are opinions. My
opinion based on years of experience, study, trial and error, and lots…and lots of reading.
Others’ experiences may be different from mine, and that’s okay. What works for me has
worked for hundreds (possibly thousands—I’m pretty old) of students, but that doesn’t
mean I can guarantee it will work for you.

But what if…

What if this book does help? What if the ideas and strategies in this book do improve
your reading score (and your reading skills in general)?

Let’s try something a little different. Let’s reach a little further, learn something that
(gasp!) might not be on the test, but may help your reading in general. I’ll try to keep it
light (possibly funny) if you have a sarcastic sense of humor.

You don’t need to read the book in order, but you should start with Chapter 2 for a quick
overview on dealing with the passages.
