Introduction

Brian McElroy (Harvard, ‘02) and Vince
Kotchian (Boston College, ‘97), two of San
Diego's most sought after test-prep tutors,

,provide a series of clever, unconventional,
and funny memory devices aimed toward
helping you to improve your vocabulary and
remember words long-term so that you don't
ever forget their meanings. Brian and Vince
have both taken the SAT and, combined,
have been tutoring the test for over 20 years.
They have analyzed all available official SAT
tests to select the words that appear in this
book.

The vocabulary words in this book are best
suited for students at a 9th-grade level or
above. The words in this edition are
specifically targeted toward the SAT exam,
but they are also helpful for students who are
preparing for other standardized tests such as
the GRE, ACT, ISEE, SSAT, GMAT, LSAT
or MCAT, or anyone at any age who simply
wants to improve his/her knowledge of
English vocabulary.

Disclaimer: a few of the mnemonics might
not be appropriate for kids – some contain

, adult language or situations. Also, all of the
words in this book appear in our other book,
GRE Vocab Capacity.


Why This Book Is Different

If you’re studying for the GRE, SAT, or for
any other standardized test that measures
your vocabulary, you may be feeling a little
bit anxious – especially if you’ve taken a
practice test and encountered words you
didn’t know (or maybe never even saw
before)! Whether you have seven days or
seven months to prepare for the test, you’re
going to want to boost your vocabulary. But
it’s not that simple – you’ve got to remember
the words you learn. And on many SAT
sentence completion questions, getting the
right answer comes down to knowing the
precise definition of the words.
