Excellent SAT prep June 26, 2010

After my son took the SAT once with virtually no prep, and mediocre scores, he used this book along with the second volume of the same Kaplan series. He used them over about a 3-4 month period and marked off the words he knew or learned, concentrating on the ones he didn't know. Each book contains 500 words, 3 to a page, and each book is divided about equally into basic, intermediate and advanced words. The book is similar to using flash cards - on each page appear 3 words, together with their phonetic pronunciations. Then, on the back page, is found the definition, a sentence using the word in context, and, very helpful, a list of several synonyms. (Some of the synonyms are also SAT level words, so if you really read everything, you will actually learn many more than 500 words per book). So, you have to flip the page to see the definition, just like you would with flash cards. My son raised his SAT writing score from 560 from 730, and his SAT reading score from 640 to 730. He also used the College Board practice test book, which was very useful, but these 2 books were certainly a key factor in his improvement. Highly recommended, but be sure you give yourself plenty of time, several months, to work through these. Unless you have a photographic memory, it will take time to assimilate all this material. But, if you do study them, you will almost certainly be rewarded with a higher test score. You will also find yourself suddenly hearing, and understanding, a lot of words on National Public Radio that probably just washed over you before. And you will see a lot of the same sophisticated words in the New York Times.

Kind of like flashcards which you get a word on one side and answers on the other side, except this is a book and has three items per page. This is great book to carry around and kill time while expanding your vocabulary, not necessarily for SAT but also MCAT and other standardized tests, or simply to learn. Highly recommended.
Good book for SAT prep April 19, 2009
