This book has been designed by combining the goodness of the original W&M
text, High School Grammar & Composition, and specialized content developed by
a panel of competitive examination experts in the area of the English language.
The USP is therefore adapting a classical text to the needs of the various
admission and recruitment competitive examination aspirants. Its exhaustive
coverage ensures that virtually no competitive examination remains untouched.
Students preparing for descriptive tests such as UPSC (Compulsory English and
General English Papers of Main Exams) and state PCS examinations, Judicial
Services examination, Indian Forest Service examination, Statistical Services
and many other examinations in which subjective papers/tests are mandatory
will find this book immensely useful. The book is also a boon for those students
who are preparing for objective tests such as Banking and Insurance, SSC,
UPSC preliminary, Defence Services, Law entrance, Business School entrance
examinations, and many other admission and recruitment examinations.
A unique feature of this book is demonstration of the connectedness of the
concepts and their applications visually, with the help of arrows and pointers. The
aspirant will also find questions from recent examinations on virtually every page
of the book. An index of examination-wise questions has been included so that
the aspirant can choose the sections according to the targeted examination and
focus more. Topic-wise distribution of questions in English examination papers
– both descriptive and objective – will also help aspirants to undertake a very welldirected
test-prep program using the book.
