The bottom line with a book is the kind of results it gets. I used the Gruber book, the RocketReview book, the Princeton Review book, and the McGraw-Hill book to prepare for the SAT in November. Without any question, the McGraw-Hill book is what made all the difference for me. It's hard to point out all of the ways that this book is superior to the others. The lessons are so unbelievably clear, and well organized, and they are always are followed up with lots of practice so you know you get the concepts. . | 120 MCGRAW-HILL S SAT Vocabulary Lesson 23 Like a Pit Bull Today s roots tract pull tenax holding fast ob- against per- very dogged adj determined unwilling to give up Outmanned and overmatched the dogged fighters nevertheless refused to surrender the Alamo.
