Clear Structure, Good Vocab List

The vocabulary list contained in this book goes on for 90 pages, and contains about 2500 words. Since last month, I have taken the challenge to memorize them all. Everyday, I also took one of the 30 or so question sets (10 analogy, 10 fill-in, 10 reading). By now, I am 2/3 of the way finished. This contributed greatly to the increase of my verbal score to 750 (from 650) on the practice SAT test. Besides, I also have "hot words for SAT 1", and the Barron's guide. This is because one book does not offer enough practices. Getting a couple books is also advantagous because the varying teaching styles makes the task of memorization less monotonous.

From 500s to 700s...

Well what can I say.. This book is work of art... It is the score raiser..!!^^ KAPLAN thank you.. with your SAT Verbal Workbook and Princeton Review's Word Smart, and College Board's 10 Real SATs,, I raised 200 points of SAT verbal section... My verbal score was 530 before I met these three fascinating books 9month ago.. This June, however, my official SAT verbal score was 730... KAPLAN's questions were awesome.. It gave me courage and built my vocab power!!! I always recommend ur book to people around me who are struggling with the SAT...Thank u again for restoring my dream by giving me courage...!!

Another good Kaplan product.

As usual, Kaplan has come through with a trustworthy guide to the SAT. In this instance, their coverage of the verbal section of the SAT is detailed and easy-to-follow. Though I feel that the verbal section is my strongest on the SAT, I still benefited from all the drills and exercises contained in this book. Certain to be of great help to everyone considering taking the SAT and a good complement to other, more comprehensive SAT books.

This book prepares you well

Thanks to this book, I vastly improved upon my PSAT score and surprised my parents (and myself) with my results on the SAT. The popular SAT vocab is reinforced over and over again throughout the book, so come test day, I wasn't surprised by many words. Plus, there are so many practice questions, I felt like the test was old hat!

EVEN BETTER THAN THE PRINCETON REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I recently purchased the Kaplan SAT Verbal Workbook. Having also used the Princeton Review Verbal Workout and found their amount of practice exercises to be abstemious, I was delighted by the cornucopia of valuable questions in Kaplan. Also, they use better quality paper than The Princeton Review and are cheaper! All and all, this is an excellent piece of work. Moreover, it contains two full-length verbal tests with detailed explanations of every exercise in the entire book!The Princeton Review is a worthy workbook but is a prosaic predecessor of the the Kaplan SAT Verbal Workbook.If you have the time and the money, buy both today. If you really only have the appetence to purchase one book, buy THE KAPLAN SAT VERBAL WORKBOOK! It's not just a putative necessity for the SAT writer; it is the definitive piece in SAT verbal workbooks.Buy it today!
