Book Description
New 2020 Edition This new GRE Prep Book contains all the 3861 GRE words, meanings, and for most words, memorable sentence fragments. You also download CD #1 of the 19 CDs. If you're really planning on nailing the vocab part of GRE, then this comprehensive GRE Word List of 3,861 words will dramatically boost your GRE Verbal score. Listening to vocab is an easy and effortless way to memorize and it sticks. Best for You If 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? Even though there are no vocabulary questions on GRE, a good command of vocabulary is crucial for a high GRE score. Why? Because without a good college-level vocabulary, it is hard to understand the passages and answer questions. If you've taken a few GRE practice tests and your score was low because you didn't know certain words at all, making it quite difficult for you to discern the correct answer, then any improvement in the vocabulary would dramatically help boost your GRE score. So, if you can memorize the high-frequency GRE words (which others find difficult) it can help you get a high GRE score.
