ABOUT THIS BOOK

USER REVIEWS

Fantastic Book...
~ Written on Jul 26, 2007. 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.

I bought this book in preparation for the SAT. The book contains 400 great vocab words. It groups words with similar definitions, and contains several helpful activities after you review the words.

The first review activity is sentence completion. This is exactly like you would find on the actual SAT, and it helps to provide a greater level of understanding of the words.

The second review activity is a paragraph, and you must fill in the words using only the context clues of the paragraph. This is very helpful because on the SAT, you can use these skills to help find the correct answer, and eliminate false answers.

The last review activity is a matching section. This is good for just reinforcing your understanding of the definitions of each vocab word.

Overall, this is a great book for reviewing essential SAT vocab words. It even provides some SAT level practice problems with these vocab words. Great book.
