Sat Vocabulary for Dummies

Innovative vocabulary-building strategies to help students boost SAT Verbal scoresA knowledge of advanced vocabulary words is crucial to scoring well on the verbal portion of the SAT I exam. Now, with this all-new guide, test-prep guru Suzee Vlk provides students with a fun and easy way to increase their vocabularies–and scores. Unlike most vocabulary books, which provide long, boring, alphabetical lists of words, this ground-breaking guide organizes vocabulary into easy-to-remember categories (such as"personal appearance, ""intelligence, " or"money") and focuses only on"hot" SAT words–the 500 or so that turn up again and again on the exams. Each word is illustrated in a sentence, and some are presented in context, using humorous stories. The book also delivers lots of practical tips and tools for remembering tough words–the lowdown on roots, lists of antonyms and synonyms, ways to increase comprehension using context, practice questions with answer explanations, and more.Suzee Vlk (Ramona, CA) has been teaching test preparation for more than twenty-five years.
