Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Herein are more than 2,000 ought-to-know words for students preparing for college entrance exams such as the SAT and ACT, and for adults who wish to regain their vocabularies of yore. Each word, from "abase" to "zephyr," is defined and presented in a sentence, a short review of word roots and prefixes is included in the back, the book is easily portable, and the font won't cause eye strain. In addition, the words are separated into manageable word lists to study from (with comprehensive practice tests), providing a pulchritudinous amalgamation of erudition to augment one's sagacious eloquence. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review

This third edition provides more than 2,000 words students should know for standard college entrance exams, but it will also provide adults with a strong refresher course and set of vocabulary exercises. An excellent collection, perfect for self-testing. -- Midwest Book Review --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comment from a Japanese reader, January 26, 2000
This review is from: Basic Word List (Paperback)
I am trying to obtain vocabulary level of GRE. And "Basic Word List" is an ideal tool for this. When I encounter unfamiliar words in Business Week magazine, I try to find such words in this book. I am certain that remembering all the index words in this book will strengthen my reading skill.
