More About This Book

Overview

English vocabulary, usage, comprehension, and composition preparation for the New SAT.

As of spring 2005, the new SAT, now with twice as much emphasis on verbal skills as on mathematics, will have an essay component and an expanded grammar section.  Students are expected to recognize and correct grammatical errors and to demonstrate competence in written English including a “varied, accurate, and apt vocabulary” and “meaningful variety in sentence structure.”  [The College Board]  

Reading this work will expose you to a concentrated dose of SAT level vocabulary, a quantity you would encounter only by reading dozens or perhaps hundreds of works of literature.  Rereading the selections and taking the comprehension quizzes in this brief volume a few more times will solidify the terms and put them into your active usable vocabulary.  Studying the language notes and doing the usage and writing exercises will help you learn to solve grammatical problems and will give you practice using the terminology and the varied sentence structure that examiners are looking for.

Originally created for homeschoolers whose education has emphasized creativity and originality over the ability to plow through the tedium and uniformity of institutionalized education, this is ideal English verbal test preparation for those who would bypass the drudgery of traditional methods and achieve the greatest benefit in the shortest period of time.

K. Titchenell is a homeschooling parent with many years of secondary and college level teaching experience.

    book regales with revelrous and salutary stories and info

    Normally one sees a grammer or vocabulary book and thinks 'Borrrring!' Let me tell you: *** This One is Different!!! *** 'SAT Practice' is the most funny, interesting and useful language and grammer book that I've ever seen! (In our house it is read just for fun.) In each chapter a silly and clever story includes short definitions of the advanced words in the margins, and then a glossary section. A quiz follows to check for comprehension. Every chapter then has a section discussing a difficult area of the English language, with the most crystal-clear examples that I've found anywhere. Following is our families' favorite part -- the 'Projects' section. These are interesting, clever, silly ... well, here's an example: 'Devise, define, and describe three parlor games, annoying practical jokes, or decorative mobiles involving paper clips, drier lint, feathers, and/or linguini. Use lists, making sure all constructs are parallel.' Even if you plan never to take the SAT, this book is worth having around for the fun -- and learning -- of it. I wish that I could buy one for each of my friends and family members!
