Don't judge this book by its cover alone, listen to the CD! From Defined Mind, Vocab Rock brings real music, from hip-hop to alternative, to SAT and ACT test prep. Students can groove to tunes from independent recording artists and then use the lyrics, definitions, and exercises included in the book to really learn, and remember the new vocabulary found in the songs. Who says you have to turn down the music to study for the SAT!

I borrowed this from the library. Just listening to it gave me goosebumps (and not the good kinds that the music instructors say they get when listening to good music). I was dying even before the first song ended. The only decent song in here was "Already Taken." I don't recommend anyone to get this. I finally found the worst music in the world. The exercises are pretty useful, just DON'T LISTEN TO THE CD! It's for your own good.

Music as always is a very personal experience. Some songs in Vocab Rock! were better than others. The song "Already Taken" could stand alone as a hit. If you like Hip-Hop, you may like the songs in Flocabulary better. But the real point of these works is repetition of advance vocabulary in context. Both works have a plethora of words. Get them both and get a break from flash cards.

Kids thought the music was unpalatable, but enjoyed the worksheets (ultimately opted for Flocabulary).

I gave this book to my 14 year old and she loves it! After listening to the cd for 3 days I couldn't believe how much she learned from it. She brought it to school to share with her friends and they are wondering where to buy the CD....Great Product!!
