BTW, the Princeton Review type crap helps a little bit. In a nutshell, remember that (a) there has to be an obvious and unambiguously right answer or they’d get sued, (b) if you can eliminate one option, it’s in your favor to guess, © they’re out to trick you, so look for eliminations based on what they’d do trick you. For example, if they ask for an antonym to EBULLIENT, they might but COWARDICE, thinking that the average moron would pick on BULL and COW and pick it. That’s not a great example, but generally something that looks good but you don’t know why is there to trick you. Cross it off and guess from among the others.
Don’t know if you follow politics, but Chris Matthews used “ebullient” to describe Karen Hughes’ state in “spin alley” after the 2nd or 3rd presidential debate.
I’m just sayin’…
