500 Key Words for the SAT, and How to Remember Them Forever! Review
My mother bought this book for me when I was in 7th grade and spent time going over words with me every day. I was able to finish it before I entered high school (I am currently a sophomore) and I still remember all of the words. I haven't taken the SAT yet, but I couldn't imagine using this book to study right before it. So I recommend that you purchase a different book if you are in a hurry because this book takes investing of time and energy.

Customer Reviews
Not quite up to snuff - Kristin Henry - Bellevue, WA USA
I purchased this book for a student, but was disapointed to find that many of the words in it were well below what I consider to be standard in the SAT. My opinion is immaterial, but my student, too, was disappointed. Of course there were many vocabulary words he wasn't as familiar with, but at least one-third of the book was too elementary. If I had been given the opportunity to look inside this book before I purchased it, I wouldn't have, at least not for this particular student.
Pleased with purchase - J. Stephenson - Madison, Tennessee United States
I like the pictures. They help my 8-year old to remember well. I would recommend this item to young and old.
Okay. - Bena Wu - CA, USA
This book is okay. It does contain some flaws. I think it would help me remember the words better if it had some visual aid. I recommend using SAT Vocabulary Cartoons better. Some of the ideas could have been made up easily by myself. It tends to get a bit wordy sometimes. Otherwise, this book could be a little bit useful.
Valuable vocabulary builder - Linda H. Rainer -
As a high school teacher, I return to this book year after year for my AP English Language and Composition class and Honors English 11 classes. It familiarizes students with words they read in literature as well as offers definitions they will encounter on college entrance exams. The tips for remembering meaning are entertaining and effective. My students always enjoy the book.
