Guaranteed to give the student a solid core list of words
for the SATs. Unlike most SAT prep courses, this short concise audiobook is
laser focused on the words themselves. It does not wear down and intimidate the
student with length and breadth. This list was first developed at Choate, the
distinguished American preparatory school with a wide range of graduates
ranging from Adlai Stevenson and John F. Kennedy to Edward Albee and the actor
Michael Douglas. Choate had a long honored tradition of not only getting its
graduates into Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, but also having over 75% of them
graduate in the top half of those classes. Choate, along with Andover and
Exeter, were the only schools that the Harvard Admission Office would predict
their students would have a higher grade point than at their high school.
It is from this tradition of laser focused learning that
this SAT prep audiobook comes. The words were first put forth by a legendary
teacher, John Joseph, as the core 100. “Get these right and we can move on; but
first get these memorized.” As the audiobook says, Choate had the confidence to
start simply with a foundation in a subject before moving to greater efforts.
This is such an audiobook.
The SAT words have remained largely the same over 50 years.
A comparison to other texts indicates that about 98% of the words have been the
same over this period, as an educated listener would expect. After this basic
non-intimidating approach, a student can move on to the SAT and GRE 500 Words.
But first start at the beginning.
With the Core 100 words students will enjoy the speed at
which they master this foundation of the language without having to wade
through a long audiobook to get to this core knowledge. The very shortness
encourages students to relisten to master this core subject.
