Product Description
Driven by Mind Sculptor Software¿s adaptive algorithms and designed by Arvin Vohra (author of The Equation for Excellence), Vocabulary Synapse makes it easier to build an advanced vocabulary for the SAT and GRE. Appropriate for all levels, Vocabulary Synapse contains over 1000 vocabulary words and word roots and over 3000 questions. Students: Have you ever struggled to make your brain memorize vocabulary words? Vocabulary Synapse does it for you. While you relax and click on answer choices, Vocabulary Synapse forces your brain to learn each word. Words you get wrong reappear more often, and each word appears in multiple question types. Soon you will find yourself learning words with much more speed and much less effort than with other systems. Each time you train, you can decide on a target score or try to beat your old score. Parents and Teachers: Vocabulary Synapse is one of the most effortless ways for students to build an advanced vocabulary. But it¿s also easy for parents and teachers! With minimal supervision, Vocabulary Synapse will make sure the student learns the vocabulary words. Just tell the student the score he must achieve, and then he can let you know when he reaches that score. There are no shortcuts or ways to trick the system. For example, if a student starts guessing randomly, his score will just rapidly decrease, and even become negative. And any word that the student gets wrong will reappear more and more often, making sure he eventually learns it. |

DO NOT BUY! by Israel I. Garcia (San Francisco, CA Aztlán)  1 Stars
October 23, 2009
Do NOT buy this program! It's horrible--it's so horrible that it barely meets the definition of a program. It is merely an extremely small flash file that opens via an even smaller file on a website browser. It has no sound, definitions, and does not even provide correct answers! It's basically just a black screen w/one multiple choice question after another. Do not waste your money or time returning it! There are websites that offer vocabulary games for free that are better than this so-called software. I would give it zero stars if I could.

Rock solid - the best vocabulary program tried so far by Marta R. 5 Stars
June 24, 2009
This software drills vocab words and word roots better than any other software I have tried so far. Basically, when you miss a question, it comes up more often; the more you miss it, the more often it comes up. Also, you don't go to the next question until you get one right. It's all multiple choice, and you click on the answers. Basically you end up learning the word no matter what.
It's entirely multiple choice, and the questions include words definitions, word roots, sentence completion, and questions in which you need to understand the word to answer the question.
Pros:
*Software responds to you, emphasizing the words you miss
*Accommodates a large range of levels
*Game-like feel
*No installation
*Easy to use
*A lot of words and word roots
Cons:
*Does not do laundry
