Word Smart: Building An Educated Vocabulary (Princeton Review)

Were it only available years ago!I left school in the third week of sixth grade and didn't return until a GED test enabled me to start college studying engineering at 23 years of age. A couple of years later as a U.S. army draftee my perfect Verbal/English score of 152 along with my Arithmetic/Reasoning test score of 146 yielded an Army I.Q. of 149; among the top two percent of Mensa members. But it had been won at immense cost in time and effort. Wordsmart provides perhaps 80% of all that is needed for a perfect score; thus much of the benefit of hundreds of books is condensed into one - Wordsmart! I'm ordering from Amazon.com a copy of it for each of the students in my class. It can transform lives!

Very good to improve your vocabulary, easy to follow

Great book for reference. My first copy wore out so this was a replacement.

It's great I love it I shared with my kids and my grandkids thank you very much

Love this book. It is so helpful!

Book was delivered in excellent condition. One of my all time favorites.

Good

When you buy a reliable name, such as Princeton Review you are buying into the company. You are placing your faith that this company will continue to provide good products and satisfy its consumers. I will be honest, I bought Word Smart because of the name and publisher. The people at Princeton Review have belted out hundreds of books with an exceptional amount of educational value. Their review and study guides have helped me get through not only my SATs, but my GREs and SAT 2s. On my expansive book shelves I can be credited with owning probably a dozen Princeton Review books. Word Smart is no disappointment. In order to illustrate how effective these books are, I can not help but to reveal my scores on the SATs, humbly of course. My first time around, I scored a 1350. I was ecstatic to say the least. My verbal score was a 720, and this should be noted because on my next try, after mulling over Word Smart I missed a single question on the verbal section, resulting in a near perfect score. Word Smart's hit parade found in the back of the book was endlessly useful, and many of the words found there were, to my delight on the SATs. Buy this book, you won't be disappointed. No serious student should go without it.
