This book was originally published in 1992 as "500 SAT Words, and How To Remember Them Forever!" This current edition is the eighth printing, and we will soon sell our 50,000th copy.
"500 Key Words for the SAT" uses pictures and stories to help you remember the meanings of five hundred of the words that appear most frequently on the SAT. Learning is fast, fun, and forever!
New to this edition: each word is used in a sentence. And a special section in the back provides tips for the verbal part of the SAT.

I am an AVID teacher and am preparing my students for the SAT. After I started using this book my students now think that learning Vocab is fun! When have you ever heard a high school student say that vocab is fun? I highly recommend this book!

I found this slightly unorthodox way of learning vocabulary words to be entertaining and practically painless. My children (8th and 5th graders)and their Gifted and Talented Program teachers have been enthusiastic about using the book. I especially appreciate the author's humorous treatment of this compilation of words likely to be tested, and the fact that he has updated the book periodically to keep pace with changes in the SAT. I would recommend it for any student-in school or not- interested in expanding his or her vocabulary.

When my daughter was in the 10th. grade, she was homeschooled.
We purchased a set of curriculum, which of course, included
English. I wasn't satisfied with the vocabulary portion of it,
so I used this book. I gave her 10 new words each week and we
both had so much fun learning them! The illustrations are great
and they really do help you to remember them. Every week when
tested, my daughter always got 100% correct. A few years later,
my son was homeschooled for the 7th. grade. Out came the book
again! I also use it to look up words, before reaching for a
dictionary. Having a good vocabulary (and using the words you
know correctly) is very important and I would recommend this
book for everyone.
