100 Words Every High School Graduate Should Know 3.3 5 4 4

I think these words were too easy for a senior or anyone going into college. Many of these vocabulary words are in the freshman text. Too bad too. I wouldn't advocate wasting money on it. July 25, 2010

This is a great book to prepare your high schooler for standardized tests. A developed vocabulary is important, and is one of the greatest indicators of intelligence. February 20, 2010

This series is great for test prep. Most of the words are on the SAT lists (old and new). December 17, 2008

I feel I spent my money for nothing. Who needs these words? I haven't heard of half of them, why should I expect my teen age son to know them. I urge everyone to save their money and not buy this book October 31, 2007
