How important is Vocabulary? |
| |
A good vocabulary is essential. The verbal sections of the SAT and GRE account for 50 percent of the overall score. It measures a student’s knowledge of thousands of college-level words, any of which may appear on a given exam. A student can not rely solely on a good math score. In order to achieve the overall test score colleges and universities demand, a student must do well on both test sections.
|
| |
| |
|
 |
How many words should be studied? |
| |
The more words studied the better the results. Many tutors and study books focus on about 1,500 or less frequently occurring vocabulary words. While this is enough to produce higher scores, the well-prepared student should be familiar with many more. The 3,000 words used in the Easy-Prep vocabulary system are the result of a sophisticated computer analysis of previous SAT and GRE exams as well as other standardized college-level exams. |
| |
| |
|
 |
Are the quizzes and exams copied from books such as “Vocabulary workshop Level A – H”? |
| |
No! MyVerbal.com built its own word database from scratch. We collected the most frequently occurring words from the SAT, TOEFL, and GRE. We collected more than 7000 of the most common words that appear on these tests. MyVerbal.com is a website where students can learn vocabulary using different tools (and books). |
| |
| |
|
 |
Why do you only provide books “Vocabulary workshop Level A – H”? |
| |
The books are provided as based on the needs of our students. In New Jersey State, USA, these books serve as reference books for middle to high school students. If you would like to suggest different and/or additional books to practice with, you can email to us at service@myverbal.com and our service department will evaluate your book for purposes of determining whether to add it to our Website. |
| |
| |
|
 |
Why do we provide books for student to practice with? |
| |
We have provided books to serve as reinforcement, aiding memorization of vocabulary. Your children will be able to practice anywhere, anytime, even if the Internet is not available. We see the books as a perfect complement to the online study. |
| |
| |
|
 |
I see four books listed as coming soon. What are they for? |
| |
MyVerbal.com will be publishing books in the future. In the meantime, our approach has been to collect 2000 frequently used words and divide them into three books, one each to be used in studying for the TOEFL, the SAT, and the GRE (with the GRE being the most difficult). Thus, not only will subscribers be able to study online, they will be able to study anywhere they take these books with them. |
| |
| |
|
 |
Why should I pay $59 for this website service? There are a lot of websites that provide free words such as dictionary.com, answers.com, etc. |
| |
On those websites listed above, you can only search for the words or find their meanings. On the other hand, MyVerbal.com not only provides you with the meaning of the word but it also generates various types of quizzes that will assist the student in memorizing the word. To reiterate, to improve your test score it is critical that you memorize about 7000 words as your foundation. Our part is to provide you with the necessary tools to aid in that memorization. |
| |
| |
|
 |
Can you provide daily most popular word for us to learn daily? |
| |
Yes. That will be one of our future services. MyVerbal.com likes to specialize in providing for practice a wide variety of quizzes (including synonyms, anonyms, etc.). |
| |
| |
|
 |
How will you charge for the many services provided on MyVerbal.com? |
| |
Although we normally charge $99 for our full SAT 7000 thousand words online practice, for a limited time we are running a special introductory offer of $59 for this service a year. As part of this special the various level Vocabulary workshops are being offered for FREE! Remember, our goal is to provide the best service to our students from elementary to high school. Our website will provide not only unlimited practice quizzes, but also a clean environment to browse in. We will significantly limit the advertisements on our website. You won’t have pop up windows disturbing you online practice. If you like our services let other people know by given us your testimonial. Together, we with our customer’s input will make MyVerbal.com the place to be for online verbal training – a gateway to success on whatever test you take! |
