SAT sınavına katılacakların kelime hazinesini zenginleştirmek için hazırlanan görsel destekli sözcük öğrenme kitabı olarak beklentim büyüktü. Maalesef beklediğimi bulamadım. Kelime öğrenmenin en iyi yolu metin içerisinde okuyarak, anlamı context içerisinden çıkarmak olmalı.

There are "myriad" of words "explicated" in constrained ways. The "salient" feature of this book is striking illustrations. I was "riveted" by these pictures.

One of the best tools for learning vocabulary! I borrowed this book from a friend and it provides you with many SAT words (A-Z) and incorporates them into easy-to-remember cartoons. In addition, the word is also paired up a sentence that helps you learn the word easier. For example, "There was an ALTERCATION at the ALTER." Also, after every few words, a mini quiz would help you refresh your memory. It definitely helped me do some last minute studying for the SATS and with learning new vocabulary in general.
