Book De*ion

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.
