Useful and fun,

This review is from: Direct Hits Core Vocabulary of the SAT: Volume 1 (Paperback)
Direct Hits is a really helpful way to prepare for the SAT 1 Critical Reading and Writing. It uses lots of examples from life today to make learning vocabulary fun and easy. Best of all, the words really did appear on the recent SAT I took.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Absolutely amazing for a typical teen,
By Eliot Pooh (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Direct Hits Core Vocabulary of the SAT: Volume 1 (Paperback)
Although I knew most of the words in the Core Vocabulary volume, since I had been memorizing SAT words in the past, the explanations in this book really helped me to "grasp" the meaning of the words I had memorized before. Now I don't simply recognize words when I see them in sentence completion questions but I can also use them correctly in my essays.
The best part of this book is that explanations of the words stick to your mind never to be forgotten. Before buying both volumes I would advise you to look at some of the words from each volume. If you have a large vocabulary you might not need to read the Core Vocabulary volume.

A. DeMarco,"High School Parent",
This review is from: Direct Hits Core Vocabulary of the SAT: Volume 1 (Paperback)
Vocabulary has been a challenging subject for my children and they all have benefitted from the use of this book in their preparation for the SAT's. The way in which the author chooses to introduce SAT-level vocabulary into a teenager's real-life experiences helps them to retain their meanings and use. My children have definitely seen "Direct Hits" each time they have taken the SAT's!
