Over the next few months, updated versions of several Critical Reader guides are projected to be released.

Late October 2024: 

  • The Complete Guide to ACT® Reading, 2nd Edition

The book will be aligned with the 2024-25 Official Guide and will also include, for the first time, an index of Official Guide Reading questions, grouped by category.

Early January 2025 (exact date TBD):

  •  SAT® Vocabulary: A New Approach

This will be the 3rd edition and will include detailed definitions/discussions of all 250+ words as well as additional exercises. It will also place a stronger emphasis on learning high-frequency words in terms of categories/topics and in relation to one another, as opposed to memorizing straight-up definitions.

  • The Ultimate Guide to SAT® Grammar & The Critical Reader: The Complete Guide to SAT® Reading

Indexes of Official College Board Reading and Writing questions will be added to the respective guides (currently available for download via the Books page).

The reading book will feature about a dozen pages of new material; in the grammar book, some material will be reworked slightly in order to be more precisely aligned with dSAT.
