Cheryl DuBois, producer, novelist Mr. Portug s and I have worked on several projects together - including one about the Sandinistas, another about racism against Latinos. His scripts are always politically and socially important, a celebration of the human spirit struggling against ignorance and injustice, deeply moving, fascinating stories that should be seen by all.
Edward James Olmos, actor, producer, director The Silent Spring of Rachel Carson is intelligent, compassionate, and entertaining--something you have a hard time saying about most scripts these days. And a rare chance for a meaningful performance by someone like Meryl Streep or Susan Saradon, not to mention a good kick in the pants to the men( ) who tried to stop Rachel Carson, that little old lady from Maine.
J.F. Friedman, novelist, director, screenwriter Mr. Portug s is one of those writers we wish we had more of in Hollywood - smart, dedicated, and a real craftsman - not to mention he can tell a damn good story that entertains, moves you deep down, and stays with you for a long, long time.
Jeffrey Selznick, producer Portug s adapted an impossible story (Behind the Veil) for me, and unlike all the others writers who tried it before him, turned it into a beautiful screenplay that should not only make you cry but get you off your backside and do something about the plight of abused women around the world.
Paul Cox, screenwriter, director, producer Paul Portug s is one of the most talented writers I have had the pleasure of working with - a gifted, intelligent, master storyteller.

After searching through about four different vocab books, I finally found one I can truly vouch for: Robert's Extremely Nerdy Guide to Digital SAT Vocabulary.
Robert is actually my daughter’s SAT tutor and recommended this book. At the time, my daughter had almost given up on the vocab portion of the SAT—there were only 7 weeks left before her test date (we’re now down to just 2 ½ weeks). Honestly, what can you achieve in that short time? Still, I decided to buy it—what did we have to lose?
Because I’d already gone through so many SAT vocab books, I knew a good one when I saw it. Just flipping through the first few pages convinced me this was the right fit, and my daughter immediately got to work. The book starts with 6 sections on word roots, then moves into 26 sections of similar-meaning words. Each chapter includes a matching activity (which my daughter finds essential for retention) and ends with SAT-style practice questions.
Since using this book, she spends much more time memorizing and testing words. I only wish we had discovered it earlier so she could have had more time to digest and apply what she’s learning. Before this, she was getting about 50% of vocab questions right on a good day; now, after just over a month with this book, she’s averaging 80–90%.
As a side note, I’m not a native English speaker, and I’ve also learned so many words by reviewing her answers. Almost every word I’ve come across in the past and thought, “I should look this up someday” seems to be in this book—a testament to why the SAT brought vocabulary back for the digital test.
This book has served my family extremely well, and I plan to start my youngest child on it earlier. Get this book, and start early.

Great list of words
Format: Kindle
Useful words, well organized. It's a valuable resource for students who are looking for points beyond grammar/notes/transitions.

Best SAT vocab book you can find!!!
Robert has always been a trusted author in the field of SAT, but I can’t express how helpful this book is for the test and for college. I can’t EXPRESS how much this book helped me through 4 years of writing in college!!! For any type of learner at any level, this book provides the much needed help by grouping words together for maximum learning!!! Highly recommend!!! Buying another one for a family member!!!

well structured review but flawed answer key
good comprehensive guide with lots of variety, but the answer key is flawed with some questions.

Great tool for SAT vocab
I usually don't write reviews but this book has impressed me so much that I have to write one! I would like to thank the author for creating such a helpful book for learning SAT vocab words. Grouping the words together, writing sentences for each word, and exercises to practice them are all awesome ways for remembering vocab.
