excellent way to build vocab November 26, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a great supplement to GRE exam study books. While not focusing on how to answer specific exam questions, it does build the critical vocabulary you need for the test. It gives you both definitions and context for the words, as well as numerous drills to help you practice them. I think that combination helped me understand these words a lot more effectively than just studying a list that the comprehensive exam guides tack on the end.
Great Book October 30, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
It really helped me with a lot of words. I still haven't taken the test, but my ability in practice tests has already improved a lot.
Good to have for the test July 9, 2008 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I'm an international student and this book helps me a lot. I remember all the word and understand how to use it. Even you don't take the test, it is good to know these words for graduate level. Thanks Barron.
