On 'The Daily Show' with Jon Stewart a youth correspondent made fun of a new study aid methodology for the SATs. These new study aids come in the form of graphic novels which has dialog rewritten to include many words which are featured in the verbal section of the exam.

One novel in particular is based on the popular Warcraft series. The novel, 'Warcraft: Dragon Hunt' the first book in 'The Sunwell Trilogy' which was originally published back in 2005 in North America by publisher Tokyopop. The new version, released this past July will have over 300 words which can be found on the SATs.

    ROFL, I read gaming novels quite often anymore. Almost done with Mass Effect: Revelations for the second time, and I've read all of the Halo novels so far.

    Great for backstory if you're into that sorta thing.
