Reseña del editor:

Contains 750 Vocabulary words, 25 stories, 25 crossword puzzles, 750 exercises, and 25 tests. This book is a powerful way for the student to master the vocabulary words found most frequently on the SAT; through readings and exercises.

At the end of the chapter, the student will master 30 typical SAT vocabulary words. After 25 such chapters, 25 tests will help the students retain the vocabulary learned. The stories are engaging, and using this book is a fun way to master 750 commonly appearing words on the verbal SAT. The feedback the writers of this book receive is that students like that the words are used in a variety of ways and that the stories help them remember the words. The projected study time is 6-9 weeks.
