 Rating:  - It s a nice way to remeber words fast~~It's so great...i wont forget any of them after i read the book~ no kidding~~ Rating:  - Long-term Study Aid OnlyMy mother bought this book for me when I was in 7th grade and spent time going over words with me every day. I was able to finish it before I entered high school (I am currently a sophomore) and I still remember all of the words. I haven't taken the SAT yet, but I couldn't imagine using this book to study right before it. So I recommend that you purchase a different book if you are in a hurry because this book takes investing of time and energy. Rating: - To Everyone Who's Ever Gone Blank While Taking A Test"Dedication: This book is dedicated TO EVERYONE WHO'S EVER GONE BLANK WHILE TAKING A TEST, or said "profane" when they meant "profound," or wished they'd studied Latin when they had the chance. But most of all, it's dedicated to those of you who believe you just aren't smart enough to learn. Because you certainly are." [from the book of the dedication] Rating: - From the word to a mental image to the definitionThis book takes a word and what you might think of just by looking at it, adds a visual image, and then ties that image to the real definition. This is my favorite way to learn vocabulary words because it's not rote memorization, it's an understanding of the word and how it's used. There are pronunciation hints too so when you've learned the words, you can use them in your everyday speech. Rating: - Great,But...I love this book its great if you can sit and read, without being bored out of your mind. This book tries to teach you these words through many mnemonic devices that i think are awesome, if thats how you learn. For instance aloof, "think of a person on a roof, separated and detached" than their might be a picture to further help you remember. Personally I made flash cards with all of these words. That was a tedious job, so i ended up buying a set of flash cards instead.
