After searching through about four different vocab books, I finally found one I can truly vouch for: Robert's Extremely Nerdy Guide to Digital SAT Vocabulary.
Robert is actually my daughterโs SAT tutor and recommended this book. At the time, my daughter had almost given up on the vocab portion of the SATโthere were only 7 weeks left to the test date (weโre now down to just 2 weeks). Honestly, what can you achieve in that short time? Still, I decided to buy itโwhat did we have to lose?
Because Iโd already gone through so many SAT vocab books, I knew a good one when I saw it. Just flipping through the first few pages convinced me this was the right fit, and my daughter immediately got to work. The book starts with 6 sections on word roots, then moves into 26 sections of similar-meaning words. Each chapter includes a matching activity (which my daughter finds essential for retention) and ends with SAT-style practice questions.
Since using this book, she spends much more time memorizing and testing words. I only wish we had discovered it earlier so she could have had more time to digest and apply what sheโs learning. Before this, she was getting about 50% of vocab questions right on a good day; now, after just over a month with this book, sheโs averaging 80โ90%.
As a side note, Iโm not a native English speaker, and Iโve also learned so many words by reviewing her answers. Almost every word Iโve come across in the past and thought, โI should look this up somedayโ seems to be in this bookโa testament to why the SAT brought vocabulary back for the digital test.
This book has served my family extremely well, and I plan to start my youngest child on it earlier. Get this book, and start early.
