Description:
Unfortunately, most students don't have the wealth of words or the volume of vocabulary that enable them to get top scores on the SAT I (the test that most people call "the SAT"). The fact that you don't have an SAT vocabulary isn't due
to a lack of intelligence, it's due to the fact that almost everyone speaks using concise sentences that get to the point, rather than belabor it.
Everyone begins with a different level of vocabulary. You may already know half of the words here
or you may only know a few. Regardless of how strong or weak your vocabulary currently is, SAT Vocabulary For Dummies will help you build your vocabulary and boost your test scores.
SAT Vocabulary For Dummies focuses exclusively on the
vocabulary you need to know to get a good verbal score on the SAT. In this fun and easy-to-understand guide, test-prep guru Suzee Vlk provides you with a reliable way to increase your vocabulary-and scores. Unlike most vocabulary books, which provide
long, boring, alphabetical lists of words, this groundbreaking guide organizes vocabulary into easy-to-remember categories (such as "personal appearance," "intelligence," or "money"). This book also:
Focuses on "hot" SAT words-the 500 or so
that turn up again and again on the exams
Illustrates the meaning of words by placing them in the context of a sentence-usually through humorous stories
Delivers lots of practical tips and tools for remembering tough words
Gives
the lowdown on roots
Lists antonyms and synonyms and shows ways to increase comprehension using context
Contains practice questions with answer explanations
Packed with tips, tricks, stories, and jokes that will help
build your vocabulary, SAT Vocabulary For Dummies is a painless way to get a handle on the words that you need to master before you take the SAT.
