Very Helpful for SAT's and GRE's!,
This review is from: Not Too Scary Vocabulary: For the SAT & Other Standardized Tests [With 36 Page Booklet] (Audio CD)
I definitely agree with another reviewer who was also studying for the GRE's. I have just started to try and increase my vocabulary for yet another standardized test, and I remembered that I had purchased the Not Too Scary Vocabulary CD's in high school when I was studying for the SAT's. They had helped me on the SAT's a lot seeing as vocabulary has always been my weak point. Personally, the CD's really work for me and Renee's tricks to help remember different words help them to stick in my brain so that I remember them later. If you are a high school student and are using them to study for the SAT's, as the packaging and title suggests, then you will not think much of the stories. The stories may not be appropriate for children, but for high schoolers, the stories should not be anything to cover your ears for. I think Renee was not necessarily trying to reflect on her own personal life in creating the memory devices, as other reviewers suggested, but was trying to keep high school students interested, which I believe she did successfully. For high school and college students this is a great learning tool for vocabulary not frequently heard in conversation and I would HIGHLY recommend!

i used this for my sats!,

This review is from: Not Too Scary Vocabulary: For the SAT & Other Standardized Tests [With 36 Page Booklet] (Audio CD)
I am in college right now and was deciding on how best to brush on vocab for the GREs when i remembered my Not Too Scary Vocabulary CDs that I had in high school...I have always been a smart, dedicated student..but I have also always had a terrible vocabulary (even though I do read a lot!). In high school my mom had me try everything to learn more words so I could improve my SAT scores- and this was the only thing that worked! Sure, some of the stories may be a bit risque, but let's be real- 17 year-old kids who are taking the SAT can handle everything on these CDs, and I know the bizarre anecdotes have sealed many definitions in my mind to this very day! Honestly...just listen in the car, before bed, while walking the dog... it's fun, entertaining, and truly improved my vocabulary!

Extremely Effective,
This review is from: Not Too Scary Vocabulary: For the SAT & Other Standardized Tests [With 36 Page Booklet] (Audio CD)
If you want to learn a ton of vocab fast for the SAT or in general, this is the way to go. This product raised my verbal SAT score over 100 points and I'm not even finished listening to all of the tapes! This is especially great for people who are always busy and want to have some fun studying while learning a ton. And she even comes up with enjoyable poems and songs to help remember the word. Believe me, I was skeptical at the beginning too, but once I kept listening I realized it was really working and I obviously have proof. So don't waste your time boring yourself to death with endless stacks of vocab cards to memorize, because you will learn vocab so much faster and enjoy SAT studying so much more with this product!
