1. Introduction
WORD-PART DICTIONARY is a program to enhance your
word power. It has a data base of 600 word parts
and 2400 related words with concise definitions. You
can get access to the desired part or word with a
few key strokes. The selected list of word parts are
related to about 75% of the tough words in a typi-
cal SAT, ACT, CBAT, or GRE verbal test. The system
is menu-driven and has on line instructions. It is
one of the most effective systems to improve your
word power. Recommended for ages 10 to adult.
(Note: If you are planning to take a standard verbal
test, it is highly recommended that you take a look
at "Verbal Vanquish". This program teaches test-
taking skills through testing and detailed analysis.
It covers ten tutorial lessons and two sample tests
- equivalent to a ten-hour course offered by a com-
munity college; available as a shareware.)
2. Features:
* Comprehensive Data Base: The WORD-PART DICTIONARY
has over 600 of the most frequently used word
parts and 2400 related words with concise defini-
tions. The list of word parts are selected from
four of the most respected sources.
* Menu Driven: The WORD PART DICTIONARY is fully
menu driven. All you need to do is "load and go".
It enables you to get access to part/word with
a few keystrokes.
* A Useful Tool to Prepare for SAT, ACT, CBAT, GRE,
and any Civil Placement Test: The system is
designed specifically for these purposes. Learn-
ing words thru word parts allows you to study a
group of words at a time, instead of one at a time.
It can also help you understand and remember words.
* Average Response Time: 0.4 second.
* Memory Requirement: 55 KB. ( Not memory-resident.)
(TSR mode is available for the registered version;
it takes 85 KB.)
