>> Great Verbal Workout for the SAT and BEYOND
I am a career coach who helps young people optimally position themselves to college grad school and employers I am also a parent who was very proactive about seeking out and purchasing SAT books which would give my son the tools to improve his standardized test scores
Linda Carnevale s book was a powerful vocabulary building tool for my son Its unqiue strength is its categorization of words in related meaning clusters so a student can learn a number of words that have similar meanings but nuanced differently I believe this fits with the way we file away words in our minds so there is something very natural and organically effective about this approach
My son and I worked together with this book and it was an enjoyable way to learn Not only did my son improve his own vocabulary skills but I learned a great deal myself You can t beat that This little book is a painless but valuable addition to a college bound teenager s toolkit Buy it it s a no brainer

>> Clustering is effective
I am taking the SAT in a week This book uses a technique called clustering where vocabulary words with similar meanings are grouped and studied together It s been very helpful as it also comes with mini self tests and reviews
