<p>I highly reccomend this book. It is very easy to read because on each page it take about 6 vocabulary words and put its into a short paragraph, giving you context clues and an idea of the definition. Then, below is a short matching exercise (word with definition). It may be a nice book, but did anyone have success with this book, or can anyone tell me how accurate it is?</p>
<p>This is great. Thanks a lot. Do you know where I can get it?</p>
<p>I'm not too sure, but you definately can get it in Barnes & Noble or through Amazon.com for about 10 bucks. Anyone have any opinions on it, success stories, or information about its accuracy?</p>
<p>i did the whole book last year. it's great. gets those words ingrained into you. </p>
<p>i wish it had more words tho. 1100 isn't enough for me.</p>
<p>Nice. Well, how did you do on the test?</p>
<p>Verbal SAT</p>
<p>i used this during the summer got up to week 19. I usually did one week per day. That is pretty easy. Its quite useful. I havent looked at it in ages though. There are also sayings, which may not be useful but are cool and add color to your writing and speech "sword of damocles".</p>
<p>"The method used in this book is the best technique I have ever seen. Each word is used in context, and you are encouraged to guess the meaning. Then you review the meaning using a matching test and a fill in the blank test. It is a stroke of brilliance that the words you have already learned are continually reviewed by being used over and over again in the following chapters. Each week has 4 lessons plus a review lesson, and a different storyline is used each week. These stories are of high interest and very clever. It is hard to put this book down; I have to restrain myself from going on to the next page! My only regret is that I didn't have this book 20 years ago!"
Pretty accurate review from Amazon.
I really dont see myself studying word lists or memorizing index cards. This method is infinitely better. I also read one book, a novel with a dictionary which I used to look up words I didnt know. I dont think that helped me much in terms of vocabulary. Reading in general though raises your verbal score.</p>
<p>Very accurate review. I think I am going to spend some time with this book. I see what you mean to do 1 week in 1 day. If you spend the reccommended time it would take something like 49 weeks. Alright.. Thanks!</p>
<p>i didn't even take the sats yet. lol</p>
<p>get the book already. </p>
<p>each week is 20 or so words. do a week every two days or something. 1 day to start and the 2nd to review.</p>
<p>I have the book. I am going to start today. Kenli, definately purchase the book.</p>
