Hi-

I know everyone recommends Chalk Dust Math SAT dvds, but what about for the Critical Reading part of the test? That's where we'll need more testing review!

Thanks,
Myra

I need an answer for this as well. What about the IEW SAT prep DVD or is that for the essay only? How have you liked this DVD for essay-prep? We have done Bravewriter's essay course, but the girls found some discrepancies in the instructions and what they read about the essay in the Rocket review.

I have no great ideas but a couple of possibilities - none are DVD's though. My dd took AP English Language this year which involved a lot of rhetorical analysis and critical reading type skills, and she thought it helped her with the SAT C.R. as well. Maybe using a prep book for that might help? Also some of the Critical Thinking Press materials might be helpful - the ones that focus on critical reading and maybe some of the ones that apply critical reading to history. Primarily just working through practice PSAT/SAT exams/exam prep books is one of the best ways.
