Customer Reviews

Excellent Work By The Author

I used this book for the preparation of the verbal section of the GRE. To my suprise, I found it to be much better than other vocab books. This book actually got me interested in learning new words, something I thought would never happen. The presentation and organization style of the author makes it easier to fix the words in memory. I encountered a fair number of words in this book on the GRE exam. Overall I liked this book a lot and I give it five stars. Well deserved kudos to the author. Highly recommended to any one who wants to enrich their vocabulary (and not just to the ones that are preparing for GRE/SAT).

Excellent book for test prep

This was by far the most useful vocabulary book I found while studying for the GRE.

A great investment

I purchased a number of study guides to prepare myself for the SAT and this is the only one I found truly useful. Now, as I prepare for the GRE this book is my savior! Believe it or not, these words REALLY DO appear on the exam, and they're also great for boosting up your vocab permanently. Use them to impress your friends or in your papers to dazzle your teachers. Just don't get carried away or you'll sound pompous (at best), incomprehensible (at worst).

Fantastic!!

I hate studying for verbal exams, but this book made it much more pallitable. They have great hints, word origins, and games along with the usual example sentences that really help you to fix the words into your memory. Much more helpful to me than other verbal aids available.

A must have if your Verbal score is important.

I went overboard in purchasing GRE study guides. This book was my favorite. A really good way to bone up on the kind of words the test makers like. I scored in the 97th percentile on verbal, and I feel this book helped me get there.
