WORD SMART, 6th EDITION includes:

science, and the arts
- Need-to-know vocab for standardized tests like the SAT and GRE

The words in this book come from a careful analysis of newspapers (from
the New York Times to the Wall Street Journal), magazines (from
Time to Scientific American), and books from current bestsellers to
classics. We also combed through the SAT and other standardized tests to
determine which words are tested most frequently. We sifted out the
words that most people know, and focused on words that most people
misunderstand or misuse.
You can be confident that with Word Smart, you'll get the help you
need to communicate more clearly and effectively, understand what you
read, and score higher on standardized tests!
