Updated to meet the needs of students preparing for the latest versions of the SAT and ACT college entrance tests, the new edition of this helpful, longtime best-selling book features word lists with definitions, analogy exercises, word games, and words-in-context exercises. A special feature is the authors’ Panorama of Words, in which each of the book’s 1100 words is presented in a sentence from a well-known novel, play, poem, or other literary source. A new Bonus Materials section commemorates this book’s 40th Anniversary as a leader in vocabulary building and test preparation.

The format of a page a day is superb, not overwhelming. The words are well-chosen, usefully balanced between not too common and not too obscure, but the paragraphs that are supposed to introduce the words in context are so awkward and unnatural.
