RICHIE’S ISEE Upper Level Verbal Reasoning — front cover
“Know the word. Read the clue. Choose with a reason.”

From word lists to precise four-choice decisions.

The ISEE Verbal Reasoning section asks two questions forty times in twenty minutes: which word means the same as this one, and which word makes this sentence precise. Six Sentence Completion Units train a clue → predict → check routine; 600 headwords, thirty a day for twenty days, are retrieved in Warm-Ups, timed Daily Practice, and Group Reviews; and four full-length Verbal Sections put both skills on the clock.
