Kurzbeschreibung
Hip-hop is hot, but it's rarely been used as an educational tool until now. That's the beauty of this radical new approach to studying vocabulary for standardized tests, which has been embraced by teachers and reviewers everywhere. Instead of dry test guides that turn kids off, this method builds on our natural tendency to recall song lyrics by infusing difficult words, and their definitions, into irresistibly rhythmic music. Now students can sing their way to better SAT and ACT scores!
Synopsis
Uses rhyme and music from the world of rap to aid in teaching five hundred of the most challenging SAT-level vocabulary words, and includes definitions, lyrics, exercises, and study guides.

My favorite so far
27. Februar 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
I'm a student that has always had trouble memorizing vocabulary words... I got the equivalent of a 710 Critical Reading on the PSAT, and one of my weaknesses is vocabulary, which makes me lose around 20-40 points. It's just ridiculously boring and I forget the words a week later anyways, but I was introduced to new methods of memorization with Rock the SAT, the first book I bought. But Rock the SAT presented 2 problems: the vocabulary was fairly basic, and the singer's voice was extremely annoying.
Having memorized all the words in Rock the SAT, I went to my local store to find Vocab Rock, the only other book like Rock the SAT that I knew about. But when I flipped through it, I saw that the vocabulary was extremely easy and few in number. Fortunately, I noticed Flocabulary and looked through it. There was an incredible amount of vocabulary crammed into each song, and the lyrics looked provocative and interesting, and most importantly, i didn't know about 1/2 of the words. Amazed, I purchased it.
When I put the CD into the CD player in my car on the way home, I thought the radio was accidentally on, since the music was so well-produced, the lyrics were intelligent, and the rappers actually had an extremely well developed sense of musicality. I could barely believe my ears when the song began to recite vocabulary flawlessly.
If you are looking for a music vocabulary CD, this one definitely is the best, unless you hate rap with a passion. The only problem I found with rap was that as a rock listener, it was more difficult to memorize the lyrics, because there was so much packed in. I wouldn't have it any other way though, it's better than feeling like you are wasting your time while a song rambled on about the definitions of "parallel" and "mosaic" for 3 minutes. And with all music vocabulary CD's, it is important to look at the book's lyrics while listening, since the mind tends to gloss over words it doesn't understand/hasn't heard before as random syllables.

"We're impermeable to bad vibes, we're untouchable /
stick together like Heathcliff and Claire Huxtable"
This CD actually makes studying fun, which for me is saying a lot.

A plethora of words!
3. März 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
This CD is excellent. It took a few times listening to it to start picking up all the vocabulary words they use. Don't be put off by this if you have trouble understanding the singers the first time you listen to them. Just concentrate on the beats and the rhymes in each song. I had some difficulty at first due to their rap accents, but once I got past that I started picking up the words quickly. This is such a painless way to learn vocabulary! The pithy songs pack 500 vocabulary words into one CD. This book is the Zeitgeist!
