Synopsis

Does developing a high-level vocabulary need to be a tedious, frustrating task? Direct Hits does not think so. Research has shown that a powerful and vibrant vocabulary has a high correlation with success in school, business, the professions, AND standardised tests, including the PSAT, SAT, and AP exams. This edition offers a different approach. This book includes the following features: Selective vocabulary found on recent PSATs, ACTs, and SATs used in context. No more memorising the definitions of long lists of seemingly random words in a vacuum Relevant, vivid, and memorable examples from literature, historic events, contemporary issues, and pop culture A Fast Review for each chapter, with quick definitions. Formatted as a paperback book, teens are comfortable carrying the Direct Hits Core Vocabulary book with them to study another word or two when time permits. Building on the success of previous five editions, the authors of Direct Hits Core Vocabulary (6th Edition) consulted secondary school teachers, tutors, parents, and students from around the world to ensure that these words and illustrations are on target for students.
