It was very helpful for improving my Reasing skills.

A few drawbacks that may confuse self-study students:
• Certain True/False questions are ambiguous since the Not Given option was opted out.
• Some exercises are quite complex and require good understanding/ use of word transformation.
• Various kinds of exercises require constant focus and adaptation.

Aside from that, the topics are spot on and effective in practicing academic vocab.

[Shirin Heidari]

The book includes best collection of various scientific and academic readings.
