In-A-Flash: Vocabulary, 6e

Love this! The format is simple, the definitions are clear-cut, and the sentences are incredibly helpful. I can tell that I'm going to remember these words- It's because I've actually learned them. Some SAT test prep books do not present the vocabulary words in such a way that helps a student really learn and understand the words. Some lack sentence examples altogether. Arco's In-A-Flash solves that.

Although the 270 pages listed is a misnomer(it's 212), In-a-Flash Vocabulary delivers a copious plethora of prodigious vocab in a fun and easy format. From infantile words such as trepidation to more obscure words such as chimera, there is no dearth of new words, sentence examples, word roots, and exercises to put you on the road to a bigger vocabulary. Perhaps a little on the easy side, but it is nonetheless a great tool for anyone preparing for tests or simply to ameliorate your working vocabulary. After all, it's your vocabulary, or lack thereof, that people use as the key discerning parameter as to your level of intelligence. My favorite vocab book.
