Features: If the college entrance exam is like a thousand horses and soldiers crossing a narrow bridge, congratulations on passing this bridge and entering the ivory tower of university! However, don’t relax—within the ivory tower, there are equally challenging tests: the College English Test Band 4 (CET-4) and College English Test Band 6 (CET-6) are the two fortresses you must conquer and cannot be ignored! How can you win a brilliant victory? Review materials are crucial. Good review materials are like powerful weapons, enabling you to be invincible when facing challenges. College English Vocabulary for 90% in 90 Days has prepared three weapons for you—give them a try!
Weapon One: "High-Frequency Exam Words Example Sentence Power Station." This book selects the most frequently appearing words in past CET-4 exams and pairs them with 2,213 vivid example sentences to help students understand vocabulary and familiarize themselves with key points.
Weapon Two: A Simplified Exam Syllabus Vocabulary List. This book includes approximately 4,150 typical exam words for College English Levels 1-4. Each entry has clear level markings: a blank space and an asterisk (). The vocabulary levels and markings strictly follow the College English Teaching Syllabus Vocabulary List, ensuring both accuracy and authority. Additionally, important entries that have repeatedly appeared in the past 15 years of CET-4 exams are highlighted in color. The definitions are simplified for easier memorization.
Weapon Three: "Practice with Past Exam Questions to Win." This book collects 473 representative CET-4 exam questions from the past 15 years, allowing students to practice exam questions while memorizing vocabulary.
Weapons are ready, but how to use them? Review methods are equally important! As the saying goes, "Study methods are like clothes—what fits others may not fit you." That’s right—just as people with different body types need different clothing, students at different stages should choose different review methods to prepare for exams. College English Vocabulary for 90% in 90 Days is not only a powerful tool but also a wise guide, helping you not only equip yourself with weapons but also learn the best tactics to face challenges!
Tactic One: The "Grazing" Review Method for Maximum Efficiency. Only 30 days left for the exam? Start by carefully reading the "High-Frequency Exam Words Example Sentence Power Station" section. If you can fully understand the example sentences, you don’t need to spend much effort memorizing the words that follow; if you struggle to understand the sentences, memorize the words and exam syllabus phrases associated with them. After studying the sentences and words, try the questions in the "Practice with Past Exam Questions to Win" section to test yourself. If you answer correctly, it means you’ve mastered that point; if not, return to the previous examples and words for reinforcement. For highlighted important words, memorize them even more thoroughly. This "skimming" shortcut can help you familiarize yourself with key points before the exam, mastering as many scoring points as possible with the least time!
Tactic Two: The "Gradual" Review Method for Steady Progress. Months left until the exam? Take it step by step, moving toward success one foot at a time. The book’s ingenious "interlaced" arrangement divides the thick College English Vocabulary for 90% in 90 Days into many lessons. Students can create a review plan based on the time remaining before the exam, studying one or two lessons a day. This approach makes the long review process enjoyable and effortless, allowing you to learn a little every day—like gathering sand to build a tower or collecting fur to make a cloak—eventually becoming a solid-scoring expert!
