Comprehensive and realistic practice is essential for success. This workbook provides over 1,700 multiple-choice practice questions dedicated to the Reading, Language, and Verbal Sections, giving students the quality and quantity of practice they need.

Students and educators will find:

• 1 diagnostic test to pinpoint areas for improvement.
• 2 full-length practice tests to simulate real exam conditions.
