85 pages. 136 original practice questions (two full-length 56-question practice tests plus 24 bonus drills), each with a rationale that explains the right answer and the most tempting wrong one.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• The 5713 test at a glance: 56 selected-response questions in 85 minutes, the three content categories and their weights, the four kinds of reading material (long, paired, short and brief), the two question formats (five-choice and "Select ALL that apply"), the 100–200 score scale, and why passing scores are set by each state (with examples)
• Registration, at-home vs. test-center rules, breaks, rescheduling and the 28-day retake wait
• A 3-pass reading method, a question-stem decoder, the four ways wrong answers usually fail, and a pacing plan with checkpoints
• Key Ideas and Details: main idea, primary purpose, summaries and paraphrases, supporting details, NOT and EXCEPT questions, and inferences and implications
• Craft, Structure, and Language: the author's attitude and tone (with a tone-word table), organization patterns, transition words, the role of a sentence or reference, fact vs. opinion, words in context, figurative language and connotation
• Integration of Knowledge and Ideas: bar graphs, line graphs, pie charts, tables, maps and floor plans, claims and evidence, relationships among ideas, reasoning flaws, strengthen-or-weaken questions, assumptions, conclusions, paired passages and applying an author's ideas to new situations
• A 2-page cram sheet and a night-before checklist
• Two full-length practice tests with score-by-category and score-by-skill tables, plus 24 bonus drills, with "Select ALL that apply" practice in both tests and the drills
