It also points out look-alike and sound-alike words used as traps on the SAT, and provides correct pronunciation, alternate parts of speech, and sample sentences. More than one hundred humorous cartoons add to the effectiveness of this powerful vocabulary-building tool. Make sure you order the latest version of this book: the 2013 edition!
The first time I prepared for SAT, I almost couldn't remember a word. But then I found this book in my brother's room and started reading it. It worked. The clues last long in my head and I could still remember the SAT words on the book. Sometimes I find a word that's on the book an couldn't remember the clue, but I still remember the meaning. It's very helpful a book.
This is an amazing book!! I remember the words and clues from this book! In addition to people studying for the SAT (ACT), I would also suggest this book to anyone just wanting to expand their vocabulary!
