Besides these, the book contains a question bank on general awareness topics.

The second book, 50 Cool Stories 3000 Hot Words uses a different approach to word building and vocabulary skills. Instead of just providing abstract word lists, the book contains 50 interesting stories that relate to different fields like law, business, infrastructure, environment, demographics, sociology, sports, and marketing. The author then uses these stories to help the readers add to their vocabulary. At the end of each chapter a word list, their meaning, and different forms of the word are included. This approach, combining a story and context with vocabulary, helps the readers understand new words and retain them in their memory.
