This book does more than teach the reader which words to learn. It teaches how to learn them. Permanently. Using visual images, 500 Key Words for the SAT builds a bridge between unfamiliar word and simple meaning. 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
