This book is not for the merely above average or even the top 10%: some chapters are clearly for the top one or two percent: the ivy leaguer. If you have mastered the trilogy of word mastery books: "Word Memory Power in 30 Days," "30 Days to a More Powerful Vocabulary" and "Word Power Made Easy", you may find some chapters even easy, but you will certainly still find sections of this book most challenging, consisting of mostly new words.

This book is for the ivy league, pre-law, pre-medicine, etc. In terms of general vocabulary on a lofty level, it rarely ever gets much more challenging than this,
