Correct Answers can be found frequently without reading the passages. For almost all students preparing for the SSAT, one of the biggest concerns must be the uncertainty of the Reading and the verbal scores. This book presents several practical techniques rather than relying on conventional approach. The purpose of this book, if summarized into a short phrase, is to "shift your focus from the reading passage to the question patterns." In fact, many correct answers can be found without even reading the passages. To make it more objective and verifiable, we are going to use the official test. Go to the SSAT Website ssat.org, the one that you've registered or will register for the test. Sign up and click on the SSAT practice test. Then choose the upper level. Go to the first Reading passage. Please do not read the passage yet.
