Title: Word Smart II: How to Build a More Educated Vocabulary (Princeton Review) by Adam Robinson, Staff of Princeton Review ISBN: 0-679-73863-0 Publisher: Princeton Review Pub. Date: 01 August, 1992 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $12.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.5 (6 reviews)
Rating: 2
Summary: Very basic vocabulary
Comment: I bought this book to study for the GRE based on good reviews listed here, but I have to say I'm very disappointed. Just from skimming through the text book I've found that I already know at least two thirds of the words listed. I'm amazed that they included such simple words like: mode, consolidate, ethics, and access. The words are not sorted by difficulty, but alphabetically so it's not very useful for me to study from. Maybe if your vocabulary isn't so great and you are taking the SAT this book might be useful for you.
I would recommend Kaplan's Word Power Third Edition instead and skip to the 2nd section. You'll learn much more from this book.

Summary: good for cramming
Comment: I hate memorizing lists of words and their respective definitions. Even though they have one or two sentences to show you how they are used. My favorite method is to read them in context. This will probably only be done by reading copiously. Reading the Princeton word (Junior) was fantastic. I wish they could make one like that, but at a higher level. The Junior book had great cute stories and the most amount of new word learning anyone can have from reading so little.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent Vocabulary Building Book
Comment: The WordSmart series is excellent. I worked through WordSmart I and then I worked through this book. I can use more words and I can use words better since studying WordSmart II.
