spark notes Vocab Builder "Novel" books

<p>anyone read these online? I peeked at it and it seemed like an interesting way to learn SAT vocab but there are many new vocab words on each page.</p>

<p>here's a link if you don't know what i'm talking about </p>

<p>(book is called S.C.A.M.) <a href="http://www.sparknotes.com/satfiction/scam/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.sparknotes.com/satfiction/scam/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>It looks like this would be an easy way to up your CR score yeah?</p>

<p>bump... (10 char)</p>

<p>interesting novels. there's a lot of pages tho' so you get at least 100 words a novel</p>

<p>bleh, I thought it was distracting,</p>

<p>cool 10char</p>

<p>Meh. For SAT Vocabulary, I recommend RR's 323 word list, the list in PR's 2008 book, and SAT Vocabulary for Dummies. RR's list is okay. Lately, I've realized the author does not give that great a definitions. As for PR, it's okay as well. SAT Vocabulary for Dummies is quite useful. It has roots, vocabulary words, and the author is simply silly. He writes in a humorous tone, and it's much better to memorize words/roots/prefixes. Just recently I think I posted somewhere else that RR's 323 word list was good, but I take that back. I've had this SAT Vocabulary for Dummies book for some time now, but I actually decided to go through it not too long ago. Might want to check into this: SAT</a> Vocabulary For Dummies:Book Information - For Dummies</p>

<p>I actually have a hard copy of "Head Over Heels." After reading it I've found that it has a lot of missing vocab definitions (meaning the word is bolded in the text but the author has forgotten to define it). Also I don't feel as if I have retained any of the words... hahaha maybe that's just me.. :P</p>

<p>yeah it was hard to read a sentence that had 8 vocab words i didn't know. and i don't think reading is a great help with vocab anyways</p>
