This book was released on 2021-05-15 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a Dictionary in Human Form? If you swallowed a dictionary and somehow transferred all its contents into your brain, you would be unstoppable. This book makes that happen in a much less extreme way! Most books that help you prepare for the SAT or the GRE are either compendia or word lists and flashcards, or have multiple choice questions on the lines of those featured in these tests. Very few books concentrate on fun exercises to build up the skills required to become better, organically, at verbal and vocabulary skills in English. This book fills the gap. Within this book, you will find multiple fun games and exercises that help you recognize patterns and guess some of the harder words on the tests, and link them to their definitions. Here are a few key features of the approach used: 1. Gamification: In each part of each exercise, you are given a set of clues about a word, one of which is always linked to its definition. This gamification approach is key to making you come back, Exercise Set after Exercise Set, to master hundreds of useful new words by the end of the entire book. 2. Pattern recognition: The clues are carefully chosen so that they link to key properties of a word that help you remember it quickly in a test scenario. For example, the first letter of a word, its length, and its approximate meaning are all patterns that help us create mental shortcuts to quick + intuitive guesses. These are exactly what the word clues are based on, and they will benefit you in skill building, through an indirect approach - just like working out a group of muscles in the gym gives you muscle gains weeks later! 3. Graded difficulty increase: The pool of words used for this book is carefully curated - you will start off with challenging but commonly used words for the most part, and graduate to more obscure words in a slowly staged manner. All the while, we will sprinkle in a few words related to those you have mastered in earlier Exercise Sets, so that you are able to build on what you have learnt earlier. By the end of the book, you will be ready for anything that a real standardized test can throw at you - both in terms of skills and confidence. 4. Unique proprietary format: The format of questions used in this book cannot be found anywhere else - it has been tried and tested with thousands of students, and works every single time. Whether you are looking to strengthen your verbal skills in English for a test, or just looking to do this out of interest, this book is for you.

Download or read book Advanced English Vocabulary Builder for Education and Test Prep 9 written by Janette Robinson and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-26 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language Learning Master Class One of the hallmarks of a person of culture is the size of their vocabulary. This book will help you learn a large number of new words (between 500 and 5000 depending on the initial size of your word base), and also to apply your knowledge to practical exercises that test whether you have absorbed your new lessons completely. The biggest goal in any language is to learn new vocabulary elements - both words and phrases - and to then apply the new knowledge thus acquired in real world scenarios. This book simulates that experience in a unique manner; theory meets application in the ultimate English language teaching tool. The correlation between a high level of proficiency in English and success in any career path in the modern world is very high. This book will improve your career options by helping you learn a large number of complex new words in English, and will also help you retain the meanings of and usage recommendations for those words. This book has three main sections: Section 1: In the first section, you will learn hundreds of new, useful words - along with important indicators of the part of speech to which they belong, and a definition in simple English that will help the word stick in your mind. At the end of this section, you will definitely have added at least 100 words to your mental bank of English words to use in a professional context. Section 2: In the second section, you will exercise both the portion of your brain that processes information and conducts analysis of words, and the portion of your brain responsible for word memory. Once you solve the thousands of word puzzles in this section, you would have applied everything that you already know about English, and everything that you learnt in the first section, to give yourself great confidence in your mental agility and in your ability to solve anything that the GRE, the GMAT, the SAT, or any writing requirement at your place of work might throw at you. Section 3: This section is simultaneously a confidence booster and a preview of the upcoming books in this series. In the third section, you will be shown a large number of words. 90% of these are intermediate level common English words, and you will not even have to stop to think to guess their meanings. The remaining words will appear in subsequent volumes in this series, and you will be able to give yourself a preview of what is to come, and try to guess their meanings, even if some of them might be unfamiliar. Once you are done with the book (you can spend either a week of concentrated study or a few months to soak it all in), you will be in a great position to tackle all the difficult English words that life sends your way. Have fun!

Download or read book Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.
