How can I ace 5000-6000 GRE® vocabulary words in 3months?

[Neelshiv]

Hi all,
Can someone please tell me whether there is any new edition for Barron's Toefl IBT? or will the same book for CBT will do?
But that book doesn't provide any material for speaking which is newly introduced to Toefl. Where can I get something to practice that?

I have 1 more question----I am appearing for GRE in Oct , 2007. Shall I buy Princeton book of edition of 2007 or that of 2008 which is the most recent edition.

I am depending totally on you guys to help me out so that I can prepare myself well with these books. So please answer my questions........
Looking forward to some early responses.

Good luck..........

Hi everybody,

Just wanna to say hi and that I am alive and so to let you all know that I am finally back after more than one month. I never knew moving houses was so difficult! I will be responding to posts very very soon (tomorrow) -- my memory is awfully foggy though, so if I end up repeating myself please don't mind me. Thx for your patience and I hope studying has gone well for all of you!

Princess,

I hope your studying has been going well. Haven't heard from you for a while so hope you're fine! I have moved to my new place but still a little unpacking to do. Otherwise I am studying hard for the GRE Literature test which I will take in November. When do you plan to take the GRE?

Best, dakini

There is already a thread in this forum for memorizing words easily.
Just check this: GRE - Best word memorizing techinque!

By nature you know half of the vocabulary.
Always and in every language there are difficult Words to momorise their meaning.
Momorising (the meaning of words) is not exactly a proper view point.
Well there are a few methods to master it.
1. Make a card list of all difficult words. Write on one side the word and on the other side the meaning. Check up daily if you can remember the meanings.
2. Prepare if possible mp3 audio clip with all the words you select spocken on it and hear it as often as you like. There are many different kinds of apparatus to record the Goice, mp3 players, Digital camaras with voice record, etc.
good luck to you on 27th October.

I am a free associate, so what I mean is that when I learn a word, I try to contextualize it or connect it to something I already know. For example, OBDURATE means resistant to persuasion, and hardened in feeling so I associated it with my horrible boss from before. Or, take the word PREVARICATE which means to deceive; notice that it has the word VARY in it, so you can associate that with "varying from the truth." For something like MALEVOLENT, I thought of the evil witch character in the Disney movie Sleeping Beauty because she has a similar, if not the same name. The same applies to UMBRAGE, which means offence, and when you remember the Harry Potter character, you see how you can remember that offensive person's characteristic. Does this help?

Sometimes word roots help. For example, if you know that BEL means war, you can get BELLICOSE = warlike. This is not a hard and fast rule, but if you have the time, knowing the roots can help with memorizing actual words.

These are the techniques I used and unfortunately sometimes you will have to rely on memory alone. Seeing it used in a sentence may help you, so check unfamiliar words on dictionary.com or other dictionary websites.

Good luck studying! And all the best for the GRE!
