4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book for Practice!, January 2, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Kaplan SAT Verbal Workbook, 4th Edition (Paperback)

When I purchased this book, I hoped that it would help me improve my SAT score. It has helped my improve my score, but lacked some of the tricks that I had expected to find in it. This book offers a great amount of practice problems and excellent explanations, but it gives very little information about some of the test taking tips that other books give. So, if you're looking for a book that gives you a lot of practice with verbal problems, this books is excellent. However, if you hope to find tricks of the trade in this book, look somewhere else because this book gives very minimal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear Structure, Good Vocab List, July 25, 2003

This review is from: Kaplan SAT Verbal Workbook, 4th Edition (Paperback)

The vocabulary list contained in this book goes on for 90 pages, and contains about 2500 words. Since last month, I have taken the challenge to memorize them all. Everyday, I also took one of the 30 or so question sets (10 analogy, 10 fill-in, 10 reading). By now, I am 2/3 of the way finished. This contributed greatly to the increase of my verbal score to 750 (from 650) on the practice SAT test.

Besides, I also have "hot words for SAT 1", and the Barron's guide. This is because one book does not offer enough practices. Getting a couple books is also advantagous because the varying teaching styles makes the task of memorization less monotonous.
