In this episode you will learn: - Mastering 40-50 high-yield Latin and Greek roots can help decode over 60% of unfamiliar words on the AFOQT. - The "Root Stripping" technique allows you to isolate a word's core meaning by analyzing its root, prefix, and suffix. - Use roots to solve Verbal Analogy questions by identifying relationships, such as antonyms (e.g., 'bene' for good vs. 'mal' for bad). - Beware of common AFOQT traps like distractor words with similar sounds but different root meanings. - Roots like 'chron' (time), 'photo' (light), 'vor' (eat), and 'mort' (death) consistently appear in the complex vocabulary tested on officer aptitude exams.
