Grammar instruction paired with extensive practice

Nielson Phu’s workbook organizes SAT writing preparation around grammar, moving from foundational rules to more advanced topics. Explanations and examples introduce question types, while drills, practice questions, and three practice tests provide opportunities to work through them. The book also addresses common mistakes and includes material on topics such as data interpretation, sentence combining, and transitions. Its publisher notes that this 2018 edition has not been updated for the Digital SAT, though it still covers grammar essentials for that exam; the description also identifies chapters that Digital SAT students can skip.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students preparing for SAT writing who want grammar explanations alongside practice questions.
  • Test takers seeking a structured workbook with drills and full practice tests.
  • Students using the Digital SAT who are comfortable consulting the publisher’s chapter guidance for this edition.

Book overview

This edition has NOT been updated for the Digital SAT. However, it still covers all the grammar essentials you need to know for the Digital SAT. In fact, you can skip chapters 2, 5, 10 to 13, 18, and 20 and above.

This book brings together everything you need to know for the SAT writing section, from the simplest to the most advanced grammar rule. Unlike most other test prep books, this one is truly geared towards the student aiming for the perfect score. It leaves no stones unturned.

Inside, You'll Find:

  • Clear explanations of all the tested SAT grammar rules, from the simplest to the most obscure
  • Tons of examples to illustrate each question type and the different ways it can show up
  • Hundreds of drills and practice questions to help you master the concepts
  • The most common mistakes students make (so you don't make them)
  • Three practice tests
  • Fun illustrations

Changes from the 1st edition include:

  • Additional chapters on topics that have been added to the exam (faulty comparisons, pairs, singular plural noun inconsistency)
  • An overview of the present perfect and past perfect tenses (with additional exercise questions)
  • More tips, common traps, and examples in the "Topic, Conclusion, & Transition Sentences" chapter
  • A completely revised "Odds & Ends" chapter now with two exercises (now encompasses question mark errors, point of view errors, and more)
  • Removal of paragraph placement section and exercises (seemingly no longer tested)
  • Fleshed out "Data Interpretation" chapter with tips and examples
  • Removal of "Comparatives vs. Superlatives" chapter (not tested)
  • An even easier to understand section on Dashes and Colons
  • More strategies in the "Combining Sentences" chapter
  • Fixes for all known typos in the 1st edition
  • Improvements to the "Word Choice" chapter
  • More answer explanations to questions that students have frequently asked about
  • A handful of edits to the practice tests

This is the most thorough SAT prep out there. For more sample chapters and information, check out http: //thecollegepanda.com/books
