Book Reviews of Picture These SAT Words!
Book Review: Cutesy, and lively, but not necessarily a great help.
Summary: 3 Stars
It's a book that illustrates SAT words with a cute comic and words that go along to the picture to help you remember each one. Often times the word itself will be split up into similar sounding words to help remember it, and some of the comics and word-nym things are quite silly!
I think it's an adorable, and cutesy way to learn vocab! It's not really effective, and when I was studying them, I did already know most of the words, but I do think it adds so fun into cramming. I don't really learn well with these word remember things, but some might. The exercise sections are rather weak, and tend to stick with words in their own respective sections, not cumulative reviews like they should be. And the exercises are far too easy - just a basic understanding of each word should be enough, guessing from a middle schooler could probably supply the right answer.
I think it's more like a novelty than a helpful study aide, really. I don't think I would spend money on it, but I'd check it out of a library! Good for some fun, but not for serious SAT students.
