Preface
n writing this edition of Barron’s SAT, we have aimed to give you the
advantages on the SAT that the students we tutor and teach in classes have
enjoyed for decades. Therefore, we’d like you to think of this study guide as
your personal SAT tutor, because that’s precisely what it is. Like any good
tutor, it will work closely with you, prompting you and giving you pointers to
improve your testing skills. It will help you pinpoint your trouble spots and
show you how to work on them, and it will point out your strengths as well.
After working with your tutor, you should see marked improvement in your
performance.
Your personal tutor will be available to work with you whenever you like,
for as long or short a time as you like. Working with your tutor, you can go as
quickly or as slowly as you like, repeating sections as often as you need, or
skipping over sections you already know well. Your tutor will give you
explanations, not just correct answers, when you make mistakes, and will be
infinitely patient and adaptable.
ONLINE
This book comes with online access to two additional practice tests and vocabulary flashcards.
You can access all online content here:
http://online.barronsbooks.com/
Here are just a few of the things your tutor offers you:
It takes you step by step through thousands of reading, writing and
language, and mathematical questions, showing you how to solve them

and how to avoid going wrong.
It offers you dozens of clear-cut Testing Tactics and shows you how to
use them to attack every question type you will find on the SAT.
It enables you to simulate actual testing conditions, providing you with
a diagnostic test and four practice tests—all with answers fully
explained—each of which follows the format of the SAT.
If you’re on the move and don’t have your book with you, you can
access two additional practice tests online. These tests provide you
with timed conditions and fully explained answers.
It provides a comprehensive review of all the math topics you need to
know to do well on the SAT.
It thoroughly prepares you for the Writing and Language sections of the
exam. With step-by-step lessons on English grammar and
informational graphics drills, you will have the tools to approach these
sections with total confidence.
It gives you Barron’s Master Word List, your best chance to acquaint
yourself with the whole range of college-level vocabulary you will face
on the SAT.
It even gives you access to the word list in the form of online
flashcards. Test your vocabulary on your tablet or on your smartphone,
at home or on the go.
No other book offers you as much. Your personal tutor embodies Barron’s
ongoing commitment to provide you with the best possible coaching for the
SAT and every other important test you take. It has benefited from the
dedicated labors of Annie Bernberg and other members of the editorial staff
of Barron’s, all of whom wish you the best as you settle down with your tutor
to work on the SAT.

Countdown to the SAT
The day before you take the test, don’t do practice tests. Do look
over all the tactics that follow so they will be fresh in your mind.
BEFORE THE TEST
If the test location is unfamiliar to you, drive there before the test day so that
you will know exactly where you’re going on the day you take the test.
Set out your test kit the night before. You will need your admission ticket,
a photo ID (a driver’s license or a non-driver picture ID, a passport, or a
school ID), your calculator, four or five sharpened No. 2 pencils (with
erasers), plus a map or directions showing how to get to the test center.
Get a good night’s sleep so you are well rested and alert.
Wear comfortable clothes. Dress in layers. Bring a sweater in case the
room is cold.
Bring an accurate watch—not one that beeps and not your cell phone—in
case the room has no clock. You’ll want to use the same watch or small clock
that you’ve been using during your practice sessions.
Bring a small snack for quick energy.
Don’t be late. Allow plenty of time for getting to the test site. You want to
be in your seat, relaxed, before the test begins.
Pick your favorite letter from among A, B, C, and D. This is the letter you
will always use when you have to make a quick guess.
TIP
Leave your phone at home. You won’t be able to use it during the test or during breaks. If your
phone makes noise or you are seen using it, your scores could be canceled.

DURING THE TEST
Pace yourself. Don’t work so fast that you start making careless errors. On
the other hand, don’t get bogged down on any one question.
Feel free to skip back and forth between questions within a section.
Play the percentages: always eliminate as many of the answer choices as
possible and then make an educated guess, not a random one.
If you have no idea, quickly guess your favorite letter and move on.
If you are running out of time in a section, use your last 20 seconds to fill
in your favorite letter on every question you didn’t get to.
Watch out for eye-catchers, answer choices that are designed to tempt you
into guessing wrong.
Change answers only if you have a reason for doing so; don’t change them
on a last-minute hunch or whim.
Check your assumptions. Make sure you are answering the question asked
and not the one you thought was going to be asked.
Remember that you are allowed to write anything you want in your test
booklet. Make full use of it.
Do math calculations and draw diagrams.
Underline key words in reading passages.
Cross out answer choices you are sure are wrong.
Circle questions you want to come back to, but first make a guess.
Be careful not to make any stray marks on your answer sheet. The test is
graded by a machine, and a machine cannot always tell the difference
between an accidental mark and an intentionally filled-in answer.
Check frequently to make sure you are answering the questions in the right
spots.
Remember that you don’t have to attempt every question to do well. Just
be sure to fill in answers for every question you don’t attempt.
TIPS FOR THE EVIDENCE-BASED READING
QUESTIONS
Read all the answer choices before you decide which is best.

Loading page 15...

Think of a context for an unfamiliar word; the context may help you come
up with the word’s meaning.
Break down unfamiliar words into recognizable parts—prefixes, suffixes,
roots.
Consider secondary meanings of words. If none of the answer choices
seems right to you, take another look. A word may have more than one
meaning.
When you have a choice, tackle reading passages with familiar subjects
before passages with unfamiliar ones. First attempt the passages that you
know are easier for you. Leave the sorts of passages that are hard for you
until later.
Make use of the introductions to acquaint yourself with the text.
Read as rapidly as you can with understanding, but do not force yourself.
As you read the opening sentence, try to predict what the passage is about.
When you tackle the questions, use any line references given to help in the
passage.
Base your answer only on what is written in the passage, not on what you
know from other books or courses.
In answering questions on the paired reading passages, first read one
passage and answer the questions based on it; then read the second passage
and tackle the remaining questions.
On graph analysis questions, ask yourself this: (1) What information is
here? (2) What does it mean? Take time to evaluate the graph labels and axes.
Be mindful that you will often need to integrate information from the reading
passage with information presented in the graph.
The vocabulary in context questions typically involve unusual meanings
of words you know—be sure you read enough of the text in which the word
appears so that you’ll be able to figure exactly how the word is being used in
the passage.
If you notice that a question is immediately followed by a second question
that asks which lines in the passage provide evidence supporting your answer
to the first question, don’t waste time going over the second question’s
answer choices. Instead, as you answer the first question, note where you
found the evidence supporting your answer choice. Mark the lines with an
asterisk, or set them in brackets. Then answer the second question.
Do not hesitate to come back to questions if you are unsure; a question
