ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Help About Vocabulary Modern ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Vocabulary Modern is wordware which helps you learn advanced vocabulary words
typically seen on college entrance test such as the GRE and the SAT.
There are 4 steps:
1. Choose a word range. There are 53 word ranges.
2. Review the Word-list. This can be done by double clicking on the word range,
or by selecting 'Word-list' from the menubar, or by clicking the right mouse
button to get the popup menu. Use this list of words to expose yourself to the
range of 75 words.
3. Drill yourself by guessing words or guessing definitions. This is the main
stage where you practice the words from memory. This is selected from the
menubar or the popup menu on the word range using the right mouse button. Once
you have gotten all 75 correct, the program will notify you to Quit and go to
the test. You will notice that the word range icon has changed. You only have
to do a few words at a time. The words you miss will recycle every 15 words or
so.
4. Test yourself on that range. The test consists of 15 antonym questions in a
notebook. When you select Ok, these will be tabulated in your score.
You can have different people use the same program as different users.

Selecting Word-List menubar choice will display a list fo all the words in the
selected vocabulary word range of usually 75 words. Each word in the list has
it's word type, a simple definition, and the word used in context. For
pronunciations or more precise definitions consult a collegiate dictionary. It
is a good idea to review the words of each word list before attempting drills
or tests.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Drill Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Drill yourself on the words only in the selected word range one by one.
Guess Word A definition of a word in the word range is displayed. You guess the
word and hit Enter or select Ok.
Guess Definition A word in the word range is displayed. You guess the
definition by typing it in the entry space and hit Enter or select Ok.
After guessing, the answer, according to the word list, will show up in the
bottom area. You decide whether or not your answer was Correct, Incorrect; or
you can choose to Ignore it. If you select Incorrect, the word will reappear
more frequently for you to guess. In this way you can work on the words you are
having problems with. You may feel that your answer was sufficient or correct
in its own way. By selecting Incorrect your score does not go down. Your score
is only tabulated from the Tests not the Drills. You are penalized in no way
for selecting Incorrect. You can quit at any time by selecting Quit.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Help with Antonym Test ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

lettered word or phrase that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the test

be sure to consider all the choices before deciding which one is best. Choosing
(no answer) is the same as a blank answer.
