by Edward B. Fiske

The Exclusive Method You Can Use to Learn―Not Just Memorize―Essential Words A powerful vocabulary expands your world of opportunity. Building your word power will help you write more effectively, communicate clearly, score higher on standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, or GRE, and be more confident and persuasive in everything you do. Using the exclusive Fiske method, you will not just memorize words, but truly learn their meanings and how to use them correctly. This knowledge will stay with you longer and be easier to recall―and it doesn't take any longer than less-effective memorization. How does it work? This book uses a simple three-part 1. Words aren't arranged randomly or alphabetically, but in similar groups based on meaning and origin that make words easier to remember over time. 2. Deeper Meanings, More Full explanations―not just brief definitions―of what the words mean, plus multiple examples of the words in sentences. 3. Quick Frequent short quizzes help you test how much you've learned, while helping your brain internalize their meanings.

Frustrated that there is no index.

Loves the format but can’t read all of it - will come back to it here and there too much to absorb!

A much better and more interesting study book than the traditional test prep materials. the words stick in my head longer because of the tidbits about each one, however, I already knew about a third of them when I purchased the book.
