The Exclusive Method You Can Use to Learn — Not Just Study — Essential Words 

A important vocabulary expands your world of occasion. Erecting your word power will help you write more effectively, communicate easily, score advanced on standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, or GRE, and be more confident and conclusive in everything you do. 

Using the exclusive Fiske system, you won't just study words, but truly learn their meanings and how to use them rightly. This knowledge will stay with you longer and be easier to recall — and it does not take any longer than less-effective memorization. 

 

How does it work? This book uses a simple three- part system 

1. Patterns Words are not arranged aimlessly or alphabetically, but in analogous groups grounded on meaning and origin that make words easier to remember over time. 

2. Deeper Meanings, Further Exemplifications Full explanations — not just brief delineations — of what the words mean, plus multiple exemplifications of the words in rulings. 

3. Quick Conditioning Frequent short quizzes help you test how important you've learned, while helping your brain internalize their meanings.
