<p>The reading section of the SAT is essentially a vocabulary test.&nbsp; With a few exceptions, if you know the word, you will probably be able to answer the question correctly.&nbsp; Thus, it is crucial that you improve your vocabulary.&nbsp; Even if you have a strong vocabulary, you will still encounter unfamiliar words on the SAT.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Many students write off questions, which contain words, they don&#39;t recognize.&nbsp; This is a mistake.&nbsp; This book introduces numerous techniques that decode unfamiliar words and prod your memory of words you only half-remember.&nbsp; With these techniques, you will often be able to squeeze out enough meaning from an unfamiliar word to answer a question correctly.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Nevertheless, don&#39;t rely on just these techniques--you must study word lists.&nbsp; Obviously, you cannot attempt to memorize the dictionary, and you don&#39;t need to.&nbsp; The SAT tests a surprisingly limited number of words, and this book has 4000 prime candidates.&nbsp; Granted, memorizing a list of words is rather dry, but it is probably the most effective way of improving your performance on the verbal section.</p>
