With a few exceptions, if you know the word, you will probably be able to answer the question correctly. Thus, it is crucial that you improve your vocabulary. Even if you have a strong vocabulary, you will still encounter unfamiliar words on the SAT.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany students write off questions, which contain words, they don't recognize. This is a mistake. This book introduces numerous techniques that decode unfamiliar words and prod your memory of words you only half-remember. With these techniques, you will often be able to squeeze out enough meaning from an unfamiliar word to answer a question correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNevertheless, don't rely on just these techniques--you must study word lists. Obviously, you cannot attempt to memorize the dictionary, and you don't need to. The SAT tests a surprisingly limited number of words, and this book has 4000 prime candidates. Granted, memorizing a list of words is rather dry, but it is probably the most effective way of improving your performance on the verbal section.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll the words you need for success on the SAT!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* 4000 Words defined\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Word Analysis section\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Sentence Completion section\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* 200 Prefixes, Roots, and Suffixes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Concise, practical definitions \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nova Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039158026480,"sku":"9781889057798","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781889057798_p0.jpg?v=1763607550","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781889057798","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
