"An engaging, supportive means of instruction... Just hearing words used conversationally makes them seem accessible and real. This lively production has broad appeal, suitable for high schoolers trying to boost their verbal SAT scores or for the business person who wants to add polish to presentations. The Princeton Review's overall approach is refreshing."

Based on the best-selling Word Smart and Word Smart II books (more than 200,000 copies sold), this four-hour cassette course continues your education.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent series - The Best!, February 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Princeton Review Word Smart II Audio Program: How to Build an Even More Educated Vocabulary (Audio Cassette)

I have several vocabulary series tapes and Princeton Review is by far the best. I have retained 99% of all the words reviewed and each of the three different series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but a little annoying, August 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Princeton Review Word Smart II Audio Program: How to Build an Even More Educated Vocabulary (Audio Cassette)

It teaches you over 200 new words that you can listen and learn. The dialog in the tape can be very annoying. I wish that the tape contains more word and less useless dialog. If you take out all the annoying dialogs in the tape, it will make 5-stars tape :)

If you want to learn as much new words as you can in a short period of time, try Verbal Advantage (ISBN 1559276193).

5.0 out of 5 stars Very well produced., December 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Princeton Review Word Smart II Audio Program: How to Build an Even More Educated Vocabulary (Audio Cassette)

I have a limited vocabulary and wanted to improve it for the purpose of improving my chances of getting a job as a firefighter. I believe that if I listen and practice using the words that the tapes present, I will be a better candidate. In the lines of work I have previously been accustomed too, I have not heard many of the words used. I only can speculate that if I want to improve my communication skills get my desire accross to my interviewers, I will have to increase my vocabulary. I feel that Word Smart can help me with this..... Oh what's the word? Endever? Well, I still have some work to do.
