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.

22 of 22 people found the following review helpful:  quite helpful, but not just by itself, By This review is from: The Ultimate Verbal and Vocabulary Builder for the SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT and LSAT (Paperback) 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. 35 of 38 people found the following review helpful:  Easy to use, By "minkidd" (Austin, Texas United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: The Ultimate Verbal and Vocabulary Builder for the SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT and LSAT (Paperback) 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. 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful:  Place to start for SAT but not great for GRE, By This review is from: The Ultimate Verbal and Vocabulary Builder for the SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT and LSAT (Paperback) The words are very basic even for the SAT. Words included are things like "sever" and "enhance". I am studying for the GRE and am finding the Barron's GRE prep book much better for the vocabulary work.
The technique of giving a brief description and sample sentence is good but can be found in other places as well. The other good point is the words are not in alphabetically order so you don't end up just learning words that start with "A" but never get to "V". |
