Civil Service Vocabulary: 510 Essential Words

 Civil Service Vocabulary: 510 Essential Words, JK Smith, 2022, ISBN 9798356206924

You have just applied for a job with the Federal Government. Among the requirements is the taking of the Civil Service exam. This book is here to help.

 

Each vocabulary word is followed by its pronunciation, and the type of word that it is (verb, noun, adjective). Next is a short definition of the word. Then comes a pair of sentences using the word. It is followed by synonyms and antonyms of the word. The there is a "Further Information" section (the word comes from Latin or Italian or Middle French). Review questions (with answers in the back of the book) help to solidify the learning.

 

This book is very much recommended for anyone about to take the Civil Service exam. It is also recommended for older high school or college students who need some vocabulary help.
