For example, the word 'terrific' is often used to describe something fantastic. It's true definition is something that causes terror, which is similar to the way it sounds and is spelled. Even though that should be obvious, we're so used to looking at it in a different way that we become biased. This is a huge problem for anyone taking the vocabulary section of the SAT, ASVAB, and other exams. We'll look for the option of a word that seems the most familiar to us, and end up getting that question incorrect, because our natural bias tricked us. This book is full of words that you will and won't recognize. It's a good thing, trust me. The words you don't recognize should be seen as the ones that will be the main part of vocabulary questions. The words you DO recognize will most likely be words in the answer section. Keep in mind that even if you think some of the words you see are 'too easy,' words can have many definitions depending on whether they're being used as a noun, an adjective, etc. The learning format of this workbook isn't complicated. Unlike vocabulary books that you may have used in grade school, this workbook won't extend the lesson for each set of vocabulary past one page. Also, this workbook is already written out in a schedule format that you can take advantage of. There are 5 words for each day (each day has it's own page dedicated to it), and after finishing one week (the 'weeks' in this book at only 4 days long), you will have a miniature test/review of all the words you learned that week. It's a very simple, yet effective format. If you really want to learn as much as you can from this book, I recommend using Google to look up definitions of the words in the small word box they give you for each day. This book won't give you the definitions. It wants you to actually learn them on your own instead of treating you like a child who can't do anything for themselves. You're a grown person whose brain is like the internet: it has endless amounts of information, and there is always room for more. I personally like to log my words on Vocabulary.com (no, I'm not sponsored or anything, I'm just a huge nerd). I was going to use Quizlet, but Vocabulary.com let's me be lazier because it already has the definitions so I don't have to type them in. Either way, try to find a site like these, because they have options for you to quiz yourself on the vocabulary and to review. Now for the timeline. How long will it take you to finish this book? Technically 220 days if you only do one page a day. I personally am using this book to help me study for ASVABs (and also because I love learning), so I made a schedule to cut my learning to only 2 months. I'm doing 7 weeks of this book every single day. It honestly doesn't take that much time. Plus, when I'm finished, I feel like I actually did something productive with my life. I hope this review will help anyone who is deciding on which vocabulary book is good for them. :) Just know what you're getting into so that you don't waste your money trying to find out. Review: Convenient - I love having this book. It helps with expanding my vocabulary. I also purchased the flashcards to help me practice on the go. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #525,013 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #223 in Word Lists #256 in Reference (Books) #459 in Vocabulary Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (309) | | Dimensions | 7.75 x 1 x 11 inches | | Edition | Sixth | | ISBN-10 | 1438001665 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1438001661 | | Item Weight | 1.9 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 408 pages | | Publication date | March 1, 2013 | | Publisher | Barrons Educational Series | ## Images ![1100 Words You Need to Know - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81BOYQjpNVL.jpg) ![1100 Words You Need to Know - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51SAiP37VvL.jpg) ![1100 Words You Need to Know - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/417sCotwb-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for anyone who wants to LEARN vocabulary instead of just memorizing it. *by A***0 on August 14, 2016* The thing about vocabulary is, even if you know how to USE a word properly, you may not actually know the true definition.

It helps with expanding my vocabulary. I also purchased the flashcards to help me practice on the go. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I really enjoy this workbook *by R***A on September 12, 2015* I really enjoy this workbook. I have a decent vocabulary and love to read, but I just wanted something that was interactive to brush up on some words that I've forgotten since being out of school. I love that it makes you think about what the words mean through context and has a fill-in-the-blank and a matching section for each day. It also reviews the words that you've already covered from previous days. I already know most of the words but there's usually one or two each day that are a bit more challenging to me. Each page only takes a few minutes to complete. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/1787742-1100-words-you-need-to-know](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/1787742-1100-words-you-need-to-know) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
