We titled this book, SAT Vocabulary ?Lightning,? not because we anticipate that you will learn the words as quickly as a bolt of lightning, but because compared to other SAT vocabulary books which emphasize rote memorization, this book will help you remember and apply more words per unit time studied. In other words, you could spend hours memorizing vocabulary words, but if you don?t remember the words at the end of your studies, or cannot apply the words you have memorized, the time and effort spent studying greatly exceeds its benefits. On the other hand, with our new book, the benefits and joy of learning greatly exceed the time and effort you will put in. With SAT Vocabulary Lightning, you will undoubtedly spend much time and effort practicing vocabulary words, but you will also remember those words while you are taking the SAT. Even more importantly, you will be able to apply your new expanded vocabulary to answering the problems on the SAT. Additionally, the words you will have learned will remain part of your vocabulary for the rest of your life. In conclusion, studying this book is a worthwhile endeavor not only to perform excellently on the SAT and to get accepted to a great school of your choice, but also to become more articulate.
