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.
