The Original Still Works Well

This was the original SAT review book back when the College Board kept its tests a secret. The author apparently asked students who had taken the test to remember words on the test that stood out. The book has 1,000 words formally listed. The questions in the book do not necessarily correspond to the questions the SAT or ACT ask, but they should improve your thinking skills. Unlike the large mass-market SAT review books, this focuses on the vocabulary and does it well. One study showed that learning 200 NEW words from a test-oriented word list would increase your verbal score 50 points; 400 new words, 100 points; and so on. That alone should make it worth considering a focused vocabulary list like this one.
