Best for Who If you are an American student who is not strong in vocabulary. If you are a foreigner and English is not your first language. Why is vocabulary so very important on the GRE test? It is so important because for most people it is more difficult to memorize vocabulary than to improve math skills. So if you can memorize the high-frequency GRE words (which others find difficult) it can help you get high GRE score. Content The words are given in bold (example, the words belabor and buttress below). The meaning is given after the equal sign (=) following a word. The words are not necessarily in alphabetical order. We have used the US spellings. The British spelling of a word, when different from the US spelling, is given in bracket after BRITISH as shown for the word belabor below. USE gives a sentence fragment carefully chosen for memory. When no sentence fragment is given, a * is shown as in the word buttress below. belabor (BRITISH = belabour) = to assail verbally, to insist repeatedly or harp on USE = belabor a point buttress = support USE = * #1 Biggest Time-Wasting, Failure-Causing Advice Given by Well Meaning Teachers, Friends, and Even Parents The mistaken advice is this: Learn 10 new words daily and you'll know 3650 words in one year. The advice simply does not work because here is the fact: while most people are capable of learning 10 new words a day, but everybody forgets within a week and many forget within 24 hours. Other versions of the same advice include these: use 10 flashcards day, use a dictionary, read English novels, etc. Important: Please note that it is not your fault because it is the nature of the human mind. 2 SPECIAL FREE GIFTS Included At the end of this book are included: (1) The complete content of the book "Franklin 1853 Most Difficult GRE Words" that was sold separately on for $2.99.

If you have just 2 or 3 weeks, then you should skip vocab preparation and focus on other parts of GRE.But, if you have a month or more, then this book will help.It really helped me with vocab.What I really liked is that the author give short sentence fragments that are memorable.Rather than giving many meanings, the author works hard to give just one (or maximum 2 meanings) that are useful for the GRE test.For example, here are some words and thier meanings. Please note that these are not the most common meanings of these words, but these are the meanings you need to know for the GRE test.milk = extractstole = long scarfriddle = to make many holes in, permeateroot = to digkite = bad checkrifle = search through and stealejaculate = exclaimI find the word list comprehensive and at the same time highly memorable because of "memorable sentence fragments" which save time as you memorize words.I also used \an old tape recorder that played back and forth all night to record most of the words and actually studied in my sleep by turning up the volume little by little and dreaming about learning the words in class!
I'm not native American, but I'm Korean.So, I'm not familiar with many BASIC words for native English user.(People whose mother language is not English may agree with this.)There are book for ESSENTIAL 300 (or 500) GRE vocabularies, but it doesn't work for people not American.Those people need to review whole words including BASIC words for GRE, not just a few ESSENTIAL words.That's why this book is super awesome.I've purchased several books and looked through them but no book has such many words like this book does.As long as it doesn't include infinitely many words like dictionary, the more the book has words, the better it is.I also need to mention customer service.I'm using Kindle edition.Kindle users may experience that content varies as you move through pages.(Since Kindle use 'location' concept instead of robust 'page' concept to fit diverse devices.So, you can possibly miss some vocabularies.So, I asked them to number each words, (i.e., 365 accident, 366, acquire) and they immediately update numbering version.I've never seen this good customer service.If you're native or already so good with many vocabularies like TOEFL words, well, go with your own choice.If you need to review or want to study as many words as possible,I bet this book is the best choice for you !!!good luck~
This is the MOST EXTENSIVE GRE vocab list I have ever found and, trust me, I have searched a lot since my goal is a PHD program in English at a top-notch university. If you learn these words you will need no more than 5 minutes to complete the vocab questions on the GRE which leaves you with 25 min for the reading comprehension questions. And this is quite auspicious/propitious (check your GRE vocab!) for your verbal score. You need to study though! Do not think that skimming over these words once or twice will magically bestow brilliant vocab skills on you. Therefore, as others have pointed out, you need to give yourself at least a month to prepare. Either way, if you do not have at least a month ahead of you, how high of a score are you actually expecting to get? When someone tells me they have just a few weeks to study, I already know they are not being serious enough about their grad school application. Such students are bound to get mediocre results and will eventually end up in a mediocre program, probably with little funding and lots of TA stints that will tremendously hinder their research, possibly procrastinate their grad studies, and protract their dissertation project. Yes, the repercussions of a mediocre GRE score can be deleterious (another one from the list!) to your overall grad school experience and professional performance in life! So if you are up for mediocre preparation and mediocre results, better save yourself the money, go to the library, and get one of the standard GRE prep books with about 200 words. THIS BOOK IS FOR SERIOUS STUDENTS WITH SERIOUS INTENTIONS!! What I MOST like about it is the MP3 files because you can listen to them any time any place. Just upload them to your I phone, I pad, or MP3 player and listen to them when you are walking to/from campus, going to/from work (even at work!), or just shopping, or working out at the gym! Every minute you listen to these words they get imbedded in your brain which is a much more effective way of memorizing than going over a list of words only when you are at home, at a desk, etc. So do not hesitate! If you are serious about your GRE score, seriously invest in yourself by buying this book!
I started my GRE prep with verbal, and I went over vocabulary before delving into prep questions. This book is an excellent resource for vocabulary found on the GRE. It's far more extensive than any other GRE vocabulary books or "boxes". Once I started working on practice questions, I found this list far more helpful than the other resources.
It basically covers all the GRE vocabularies needed!But, it may require more preparation time, approximately one month!If you have less time, try the vocabulary list in the back of McGraw-Hill's GRE 2014 edition!
Ive been a little rusty since undergrad years.. Found this book helpful in getting me up to snuff with those words you may have left on the back burner because you don't use them everyday... I think it would be helpful for SAT Prep too, certainly would increase a high school students scores who was looking to increase their scores and maximize opportunities for continuing education in general undergrad or graduate.
Been digging this for few weeks.They are definitely helpful for those who need the Vocab. However, it is not as extensive as you would think. First, it's not "3861" words. There are about 1800, and the other half is pretty much review. I recommend getting extra Barron's/Manhattan Prep for more lists.
