Product Description
Standardized tests require extensive verbal and vocabulary skills. Questions are often answered incorrectly simply because the test-taker does not know the meaning of key words used in the question. This book provides a comprehensive verbal and vocabulary builder for the SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, and LSAT. Includes over 1,700 words commonly seen on these tests together with methods and tools designed to teach the meaning of words in context. Also includes 16 carefully designed exercises and 16 practice sets. These exercises and practice sets clearly and concisely increase vocabulary skills without the use of rote memorization. Book uses "self reference" antonyms, synonyms, and context to impact word meanings in a user-friendly, easy to learn manner.

The way this workbook had me actually using vocabulary, rather than just studying lists of words, helped to firmly "plant" these words and their definitions in my mind. By following the instructions to write synonyms, antonyms and sentences using each vocabulary word, without a doubt, has been the strongest tool that I have found to increase my test score.

This book was amazing!
It is very simple and very straight-forward with the sole purpose of helping your improve your vocabulary...and it works. I got through the book in 8 days, completing two chapters a day. It took me approximately two or three hours of work per day to work with this book. It gives you the tools to really understand a word and remember it. Don't try to save time by not looking up the words and not finding antonyms and synonyms for the words. It will not work. You have to get down to the nitty-gritty and then you will see results. Words that would not stick, I wrote down on flashcards and reviewed them along with the 300 word list from Barron's Passkey to the GRE book.
Say the words out loud, repeatedly do the exercises at the end of each chapter and it will pay off on the GRE exam. I promise! By the way, it is a one-time use book....you will scribble on every page and no one else will be able to use it, but that is what it is....a work book. Buy it!
Good deal! November 15, 2002

I am a returning student (about to enter graduate school). We are required to take the GRE. This book was a very helpful refresher for me, and you can't beat the price. Service was quick and helpful too!

The book takes a different approach on vocabulary building. Unlike the other test prepration of books I have seen, this book does not present you with list of words to memorize. The best feature of this book is that it makes you work on each new word. I agree with the authors on the fact that this is an effective approach. However, the words listed in this book are not quite the standard of GRE/GMAT. This book would be helpful to those who might be writing the SATs or are just beginning their GMAT/GRE preparation with a very limited vocabulary. I don't regret buying this book at all, since it isn't very expensive and also i can use the "strategy" of this book with more complex words.
