2018 GRE Word List: 3861 GRE Words For High GRE Verbal Score Kindle Edition

Your search for the best GRE vocab prep book is finally over. When you buy GRE Word List with Free CD #1 Download, you get all the 3861 words, meanings, and for most words, memorable sentence fragments exactly as used in Franklin GRE Vocab Builder Audio Program along with CD#1 as download.





Best For You If





1. If you are an American student who is not strong in vocabulary.



2. 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.



Why is GRE Vocab So Hard?



GRE Requires You to Know the Less Common Meanings of Words



It may surprise you that GRE tends to test you for meanings that are not the most common meanings of words.



For example, here are some words and the meanings you need to know (taken from the course). I have also added the meaning that will not lead to correct answer:



milk = extract

USE = the directors milked the company of several million dollars

(not the milk you drink)



riddle = to make many holes in, permeate

USE = the anti-aircraft guns riddled the plane's wings with bullets

(not a puzzle)



root = to dig

USE = she rooted through the papers on her desk

(not root of a tree)



rifle = search through and steal

USE = the safe had been rifled and the diamonds were gone

(not the rifle used for firing bullets)



Carefully Selected Meanings and Memorable Sentence Fragments



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 includes 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 for You



(1) Complete content of the book "Franklin 1853 Most Difficult GRE Words" that was previously a Kindle ebook .

(2) Instructions to download the first Vocab CD (about an 1 hour) of 19 CDs. Just this is worth more than the price of this ebook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good content, Very good customer service.
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2014

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~

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.

This is perfect for non-native English speakers. I have flash cards from Manhattan Prep, which are very helpful, however, their collection of words are advanced, and do not cover basic. As non native English speaker, I needed to learn more basic stuff. This book is perfect. Its been a week since I received this book, and I can't believe how much vocabulary I'm building.
I recommend this book for anyone, but especially foreigners ;)
Don't forget to buy the CDs. I think looking at the words and hearing it make it easier to remember the words.

but not enough time to go through all of them. I bought this book on Kindle so I could highlight words I didn't know and reduce down but I never made it through the whole book. Then again, what can you expect from a big giant book that advertises vocabulary? Definitely exactly as described. Not sure if it was me or not but I'm not sure it helped.

1.0 out of 5 stars GRE word list? More like Middleschool vocabulary
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2014
Verified Purchase
I skimmed through the vocabulary right away and could not believe the words listed. The vocabulary words in text are middleschool equivalent, maybe even less. This book is not thick either. It's about170 pages worth of common words. If you're serious about studying for GRE vocabulary, I recommend going with Barons instead.

Here are some of the words in this book and you can judge for yourself: Novice, Obscure, Anarchy, Inclusive, Stoic, Suave, Legacy,Mirage,Ramp, Noble,Sarcasm,Vex, Gory, Genesis, Maul, Unsavory, Minion, Hamper, Fester, Callous, Wry

I mean..............if you don't know basic words in the english language, then..yeah go for it. Otherwise..save your money. I'm pretty pissed that they would have the audacity to brand this a GRE word list.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great way to start studying for the GRE
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2013

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.

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2013

The no. of words are pretty enough for the exam, I believe, and the approach of explaining the words with short fragments is efficient.
BUT when on the book cover it says free CD is available for downloading, it is actually for 1CD of 200 words only out of total 19CDs. Disappointed...

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!

Si quieres sacar el Proficiency en esta lengua, este libro es más que recomendable. Palabras que una persona de habla hispana es difícil que conozca, por lo que, ante un angófono, puedas ser valorado por tu expresión de forma extraordinaria.
