Book Description

1402220103 978-1402220104 August 1, 2009

Gary Gruber presents a new guide for students honing their vocabulary for the SAT. With more tools and lists than the competition, this guide goes beyond just words and
definitions to also give:

  • Prefixes and roots that denote the same meaning or feeling
  • Commonly confused words
  • The 291 most frequent SAT words
  • 50 vocabulary tests

For more than 30 years, Dr. Gary Gruber has been the leading authority on testing and test preparation. The exclusive Gruber Method has helped students raise their SAT scores by as much as 600 points. These strategies show students how to think best about problems and can be used consistently on every test.

THE MOST TRUSTED METHODS:

  • More schools use Dr. Gruber's books for SAT courses than any other SAT books.
  • PBS chose Dr. Gruber to train teachers nationally to improve the nation's SAT scores.
  • Sylvan Learning Centers contracted Dr. Gruber exclusively to create and develop national SAT and ACT courses to increase scores and critical thinking abilities.

WHAT STUDENTS AND PARENTS ARE SAYING:

"In just two hours, you were able to boost my son Lance's SAT scores by 200 points."
Amy Loomis, Mill Valley, CA

"I've gone through almost all the SAT books I can get ahold of, and so far the best is the Gruber's SAT book. I wish I could have found it earlier."
Online review

"With the aid of your books, my scores improved so dramatically that I am now anticipating acceptance into schools that I was reluctant to even apply to."
Lauren Frascieloo, Princeton, NJ

"In regards to the breadth and quality of material offered, the difference between Gruber's and other publications is quite astonishing. Indeed, only Gruber's deserves the highest recommendation in SAT preparation."

3.0 out of 5 stars An Alternative to Consider, July 7, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gruber's SAT Word Master: The Most Effective Way to Learn the Most Important SAT Vocabulary Words (Paperback)
I just received this book. Spent only 2 min. reviewing it and immediately noted an error.

The description clearly says 100 practice tests. I had made out a study plan for 100 tests.

Right on the cover of the book it clearly says 50 vocabulary practice tests.

No big deal but wanted you to know.

I will review the book later after the student has used the book.

First off congratulations for someone that took the time to change the description in the "description" section above.

Thanks to Jack Limpet for reminding me I had said I would do a review of the book at a later time. Below is my update.

Book did not work for the student I was working with. However, the content and approach is clear. Buying this book is also a lot, lot cheaper than the approach I finally found that fit my style.

Please see my review of The Ultimate SAT Supplement: KlassTutoring solutions to every test problem in The Official SAT Study Guide (2nd Edition) to see a plan that worked for the PSAT and, by June 1st, I will post the SAT results in that review.

My objective is to enable the student to get the highest score they are willing to aim for with the least amount of work and financial investment.
