5.0 out of 5 stars superb!!!!, April 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Princeton Review: SAT Verbal Workout (Paperback)

This book was really Great. It's got the "Hit Parade" vocab in flashcards, so you don't necessarily have to be settled at a desk in order to learn vocab. It also gives great tips and hints on how to figure out the answers. It teaches the reader how to not choose "Joe Bloggs" kinds of answers, but instead to make educated, sensible answers! A must have for an SAT candidate!

This review is from: Verbal Workout for the SAT, 2nd Edition (Sat Verbal Workout) (Paperback)

Having purchased other Princeton Review books, I was dissapointed with this book. Not enough of the book was dedicated to examples, and it lacked practice tests. 2 critical things missing considering the price of this book.
I liked that their word lists are composed of the words most common ones on the SAT, but I didn't like the way the words were arranged. Words that didn't really relate seemed to be thrown together into a list.
The vocab cards seem like a plus, but they put 2 words into a card.
Overall, this book isn't worth the money. It skimps over the basic necessities that a SAT verbal book should have.

This review is from: Verbal Workout for the SAT, 2nd Edition (Sat Verbal Workout) (Paperback)

This book is just dumb. It only gives you 200 practice problems in a 200 page book. In addition, it DOES NOT include a practice test. the book costs you 15 dollars in a bookstore. As one of the owners of the book, i strongly recommend you to buy something else.
