This book presents far more word games than analogies--the relationships between the words presented are too often not the type seen in the SCAT test, or the "old" SAT. This is not a book to use if you want to prepare your child for the SCAT (testing to join the Johns Hopkins Talented Youth program, for example). I have taken (and scored very well on) many tests with analogies and studied and prepared my daughter for the SCAT, and was hoping this book would be useful for my son. I was ready to throw it across the room. The "right" answers for the relationships between the word pairs are often absurd, or based on the physical appearance of the letters in the word--or, the answer is incorrectly given because it mixes up the word pairs, and the actual pairings make no sense at all! Instead, get Daily Warm Ups: Analogies; it is a GREAT book, though it leaves you needing more practice. SIMILAR ITEMS: |
