Programmed Vocabulary?

<p>Hello,
Just wondering if anyone had used the book Programmed College Vocabulary by Feinstein to study for SAT Vocab.</p>

<p>Here’s the URL for it on Amazon:</p>

<p>[Programmed</a> College Vocabulary (7th Edition): George W. Feinstein: 9780131487666: Amazon.com: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Programmed-College-Vocabulary-7th-Edition/dp/0131487663/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1387116409&sr=8-1&keywords=programmed+college+vocabulary]Programmed”>http://www.amazon.com/Programmed-College-Vocabulary-7th-Edition/dp/0131487663/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1387116409&sr=8-1&keywords=programmed+college+vocabulary)</p>

<p>I can’t find much info on it, and there are a paucity of reviews.
Apparently, it is a Pearson textbook.
I presume the “programmed approach” means you fill in the blanks over and over until mastery is achieved.</p>

<p>Anyone have any opinions on this?</p>

<p>Many thanks!</p>

<p>Wow…$84.79?!? That’s pricey as hell. I’d recommend the Direct Hits series. They’re fun reads and pretty helpful. I think Direct Hits is also one of the most recommended books on CC. </p>

<p>Here’s a link- don’t worry about the editions- they’re all so similar- it’s just the cultural references that the writer uses to help you memorize each definition that changes by year.</p>
