SAT word list
« on: July 19, 2010, 05:00:01 pm »
Hey you guys, I am sure there are plenty of you studying for the SATs! What I hate most about it, is the word list!

So, I am going to share a few words that is on the word list, and maybe, you guys can share to, I hope this makes learning the list easier.....

So, I will go first!

1. Astute: Shrwed; Keen. Clever and perceptive: shrewd and discerning, especially where personal benefit is to be derived

The young Sherlock Holmes was quite the astute investigator; he always unraveled even the toughest mysteries.

Really, a very nice piece of software.

This is another word, that I feel is a good one, and is rarely used....

2. Perjure: To lie under oath.

The soldier perjured to prevent his comrades from receiving the death penalty.

Thats good too, but not the best one out there.

The best british company for students is the Collins or the Oxford dictionary. People don't really use the Cambridge one for a long time now....

Guys, can anyone give me a more definice meaning of this word: jurisprudence

theory of law: the philosophy or science of law
legal system: a system of law or the body of laws applied in a particular country or state
branch of law: a branch of law or the law as it applies to a particular area of life


These were the meanings I found in my dictionary.

This is what I got too, but I think the meaning is essentially, the thought behind the law itself....

Basically the throry, what you gave me, is from encarta! :P
