>> It s OK
The book contains a large volume of words however I do not have information on the applicability of these words to the SAT The format is acceptable but not effective enough to enable digestion or ownership of the new words nor interesting enough to generate enthusiasm to learn more words The user must rely on his/her own initiative or persistence to peruse the book
>> Interesting and instructional at the same time
Probably the primary reason that something is easy to learn is because it s interesting Spelling and vocabulary building are usually not among those that arouse interest however this book makes these topics interesting for the student by creating amusing word use sentences that involve teen think My daughter really likes using it for her weekly homeschooled vocabulary lessons

The best way to learn vocabulary is through reading There comes a point
in studying for the SAT wherein a volume like this one would be helpful
This text has typical words and their usage set forth in an easy to read
format It s important to have comprehensive definitions and sentences
because memorizing vocabulary for the SAT exam would be pointless
Sample words are
o abrasive
o accentuate
o alacrity
o ascetic
o benign
o cacophony
o cadence etc
This dictionary would be invaluable in order to assist in mastering
the diction requisite for success on this exam
