Amazing Results!

My mom recently purchased this CD/book for me, and within three days, I had memorized half of the songs. They are catchy and fun to listen to. I have never had an easier way to learn vocabulary words- studying through books is tedious. Rock the SAT uses about 20 vocab words per song, and there are context clues so even if you don't look up the words' definitions in the book, (which I still recommend), you will learn the words. I haven't taken my test yet, but I keep coming across many Rock the SAT words in my practice tests- and it makes me thankful that we came across this wonderful CD! My favorite songs are Coalesce, Spitball in the Eye, Harbinger, and Salacious- although I like them all!

SAT-tutor approved!

I've been tutoring SAT students in Manhattan, Connecticut, and New Jersey for ten years now, and I've never seen any other resource or material like this book/CD. It's really a whole new way to approach studying vocab - one of the most dreaded and most necessary parts of preparing for the test - that I think students will really go for. The songs are terrific! I just got my hands on this book (after a friend recommended it) and can't wait to use it with my students this fall.

Love this

I'm in high school and my mom bought me this cd. I really like it. The music is catchy and good and sounds like the stuff I listen to anyway. The book is actually really funny,if you can believe that. It's way better than some of the boring stuff I've tried. It's a great way to learn sat vocab without really feeling like you're doing hard work.

Surprisingly good.

My dad bought me this CD and I was a little hesitant since, well, my dad bought me this CD. But I have to say I really like the music, and I feel like I've picked up a lot of vocabulary words. If even one or two of them end of on the test, then this CD is worth it's weight in gold. You might think an "educational CD" couldn't possibly be cool, but you'd be wrong. I mean, the songs don't make you want to run out and pierce your nipples or anything, but still, they are very well produced, and the melodies are catchy. I am recommending this CD to my friends. If you are a parent, this would be a great gift to buy your kid.

Very good for my daughters.

I bought this as a birthday gift for my two daughters and they love it. They tell me they learned many new words. They want to know if there is another book coming soon. Thank you.
