I have a 17 year old son, so as you can imagine SATs is a topic of concern around my home. This book was brilliant in the manner in which it focuses on real questions from past SAT tests. First, the words are defined and often given a small clue to help the reader remember -- benevolent elephant was cute and how to know when to use lay/lie will help me. As the lessons advance through the book; the examples become more difficult and the author used many of the words from previous lessons to help build the vocabulary. Now, that I have had a chance to be reminded of my own SAT experiences; I am very appreciative that my son can use this book to prepare.

I received this book in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

This study guide is a great resource for any student that needs to improve their test scores. The exercises will increase your vocabulary which has been proven to increase test scores. Being able to understand the questions on the test as well as already being familiar with the vocabulary used in the English section of the book with improve any student's confidence in their test taking abilities.

This SAT vocab book takes a novel approach by organizing words contextually, grouping similar or often confused words together. Overall, this book is very basic and I don’t think this would adequately prepare someone to do well on the SATs. The study methods presented seem helpful, but the words themselves are lacking. This seems better suited for a middle school level or someone learning English. I definitely expected to see at least one word I was unsure of, but couldn’t find any. Instead, there are words such as “genuine,” “authentic,” and “disguise.” If you don’t know these words and you’re planning to take the SATs, I am scared for you.
