What disappointed you about GRE Vocabulary 3000: Official Test Prep?
First, its nowhere near 3000 words of Prep. If you dont know the easy and moderate words you didn't pass elementary school. Of the 'hard' words maybe 1/3rd of them are good review for the test. The synonyms and antonyms are lazy, unhelpful, and often barely correct. The sentences are often just a rehash of the definition, and again, are often very lazy. Here are some examples:-missionary and enlist are considered hard words-"synonym: accept, antonym: reject"..wow thanks-"Lavage Sentence: He lavaged his clothes" ..lazy sentence that does not help define or teach the word and instead focuses on an old definition. Lavage means to medically wash a hollow organ. Its etymology includes the more basic definition of simply washing, but you're at a disadvantage if all you remember for the test is 'to wash'. The definition does state the word means 'to clean especially medically' but that is still lacking.

As a child in small-town Oklahoma, Elizabeth Warren yearned to go to college and then become an elementary school teacher - an ambitious goal, given her family’s modest means. Early marriage and motherhood seemed to put even that dream out of reach, but 15 years later she was a distinguished law professor with a deep understanding of why people go bankrupt. Then came the phone call that changed her life: could she come to Washington, DC, to help advise Congress on rewriting the bankruptcy laws?

Do Better Elizabeth
Revisado: 06-17-15
What would have made A Fighting Chance better?
First, her accent or tone is awful. It's a fake half concern half 'all american' voice that is contrived. People will probably let her off the hook b/c she has rather noble goals, but at the end of the day her voice comes off as pathetic, disingenuous, and manipulative. Second, she can not turn off her political stumping. All of her stories have an angle. Third, she dumbs everything down. I was hoping for intelligent insight into Warren and her ideas, I did not find it.
