Exercises to Help You Master the

Vocabulary Skills needed for the SAT,
ACT, GRE, and GMAT
Talia Swinton
Introduction

An expansive English vocabulary has always been an indicator of

upward social mobility. However, in recent times, it has become even
more important: vocabulary tests are an integral part of selection
processes to the best schools in the world. 40% of career selection
examinations have some component of verbal skills testing.
In the modern world, one's vocabulary is an important tool for
success. This book helps you take your English skills to the next level:
more words, better grammar, and more correct spellings.
Here are a few key features of the approach used:
1. Gamification: In each part of each exercise, you are given a set of
clues about a word, one of which is always linked to its definition.
This gamification approach is key to making you come back, Exercise
Set after Exercise Set, to master hundreds of useful new words by the
end of the entire book.
2. Pattern recognition: The clues are carefully chosen so that they link
to key properties of a word that help you remember it quickly in a test
scenario. For example, the first letter of a word, its length, and its
approximate meaning are all patterns that help us create mental
shortcuts to quick + intuitive guesses. These are exactly what the
word clues are based on, and they will benefit you in skill building,
through an indirect approach - just like working out a group of
muscles in the gym gives you muscle gains weeks later!
3. Graded difficulty increase: The pool of words used for this book is
carefully curated - you will start off with challenging but commonly
used words for the most part, and graduate to more obscure words in a
slowly staged manner. All the while, we will sprinkle in a few words
related to those you have mastered in earlier Exercise Sets, so that you
are able to build on what you have learnt earlier. By the end of the
book, you will be ready for anything that a real standardized test can
throw at you - both in terms of skills and confidence.
4. Unique proprietary format: The format of questions used in this
book cannot be found anywhere else - it has been tried and tested with
thousands of students, and works every single time.
Whether you are looking to strengthen your verbal skills in English
for a test, or for career purposes, or just looking to do this out of
interest, this book is for you.
