Buy used from: $1.10
I would not use this book on a day-to-day basis but on a weekly basis. It's a great way to "sneak" in the vocab words students need for the reading section of the SAT
500 Key Words for the SAT, and How to Remember Them Forever!500 Key Words for the SAT, and How to Remember Them Forever! by Charles Gulotta
Buy new: $12.69 / Used from: $12.69
This is the main vocabulary text we use in my class. I do not do the pages in order, as it is harder for students to study strict alphabetical order, so I will do something like pages 11, 21, 31, 41, 51, etc. Some of the words have little cartoons but all have clues for remembering them

I use this book primarily to give introductions, strategies and directions for the reading and writing sections of the SAT. I think the explanations the author gives are right on target, especially regarding what the graders expect on the SAT essay.

This book has great practice tests and explains the answers. It's easy to use and the students understand it. (we have not used the CD ROM so I can't say how good it is or isn't) but for personal use, I would purchase the copy with the CD ROM)

For students who need to review and practice their writing skills this is excellent. Most of my students assume the "writing" section of the test means the essay, and are surprised at the difficulty they have with the test of written expression.
