<p>Does anyone know of any SAT vocabulary books that incorporate mnemonics to help you remember the words?</p>
<p>I remember one with the word "austere" with the example being: an austere steer at a party. However, I can't remember the name of the book. Does anyone know?</p>
<p>Hmm. I can tell you it is NOT in PR's Cracking the SAT 2008, RocketReview, nor CollegeBoard (blue book). Not much help, but at least you can narrow down the book now.</p>
<p>i think it's barron's hot word list (something like that)</p>
<p>Does anyone own: 500 Key Words for the SAT, and How to Remember Them Forever! by Charles Gulotta (Author)
??</p>
<p>The SAT "Hit Parade" in WordSmart by Adam Robinson and the Princeton Review is excellent.</p>
<p>i really like up your score. they have the word, the definition, and then a sentence that really helps me remember what the word means.</p>
<p>heres an example:
proliferate - to increase or spread rapidly - The pro-life movement proliferated in the fundamentalist part of the state.</p>
<p>i like those flash cards by Barrons</p>
<p>AlwaysTired. I have that book</p>
<p>as andreaaaaa said, Up Your Score has tons of corny mnemonic devices and it's funny</p>
<p>I have a book called Word Smart (not the software, the book), and it has a really good section on tips to learn new words. The ideas for creating your own mnemonic devices work (make it personal, make it really off-the-wall). </p>
<p>One of the best bits of advice I've gotten on learning anything new, vocab or facts, is to "interact" with the info at least three times. Read it once and highlight it (if it's your book, that is). Say it out loud. Write it down. Make an outline or write your own example. Highlight key words. You basically end up making your own study guide which you can then review before tests. Works like a charm. I got an A in a really boring class by doing this.</p>
