Book Synopsis


'The number one way to improve your score on the SAT is by improving your vocabulary. Nothing is more important.' 'Princeton Review

Perspicacious. Ubiquitous. Garrulous. Improvident. Solvent. Benevolent.

These are the sorts of words that may befuddle you when you take the SAT. What you need is a book that makes these words fun to learn and easy to remember-and this one does just that. This clever, cogent little volume uses funny, edgy, and even rude rhymes to help you learn-and remember!?more than 500 vocabulary words most commonly found on SAT exams.Acquiesce
(verb) 'ACK-wee-ess'

Do you always give in?
Then you acquiesce.
You never say no;
It's just yes ' yes ' yes—yes.

Careful with that
Don't become a doormat.
Acquiescing is fine.
But not all the time.

Remember this:
To acquiesce is to say yes.

From abase to zenith, this book is all students need to make the grade!
