App Store Description
The verbal section of college tests are essentially a vocabulary test. With a few exceptions, if you know the word, you will probably be able to answer the question correctly. Thus, it is crucial that you improve your vocabulary. Even if you have a strong vocabulary, you will still encounter unfamiliar words on most college exams.
Many students write off questions which contain words they don't recognize. This is a mistake. This app introduces numerous techniques that decode unfamiliar words and refresh your memory of words you only half-remember. With these techniques, you will often be able to squeeze out enough meaning from an unfamiliar word to answer a question correctly.
Nevertheless, don't just rely on just these techniques - you must study word lists. Obviously, you cannot attempt to memorize the dictionary, and you don't need to. College exams test a surprisingly limited number of words, and this app has 4000 prime candidates. Granted, memorizing a list of words is rather dry, but it is probably the most effective way of improving your performance on the verbal section.
