This review is from: More Illustrated Word Smart (Smart Guides) (Paperback)

I bought this book thinking that it would be a good starting point to get some new words into my vocabulary for the general GRE. I don't have an extensive vocabulary by any means, and even I knew at LEAST 85% of the words in this book. If you're looking to prep for a standardized exam, don't bother wasting your money or time on this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars picture perfect, August 8, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: More Illustrated Word Smart (Smart Guides) (Paperback)

A fun and painless way to introduce new vocabulary, and a way to review previous school lessons. My 15, 16, and 17 year-olders enjoy the pictures/humor--they banter about the examples. But, most importantly--they remember the words!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good selection, lots of errors, January 1, 2005

This review is from: More Illustrated Word Smart (Smart Guides) (Paperback)

The words selected were relevant and commonplace on the GRE. However, in the practice tests there are many errors. In addition, several of the definitions are not as precise as in other books. A good book to start with, but supplement it with something more academic.
