Lightbulb Hope this can help you!

I finished my GRE yesterday and now I'm uploading some of my personal things, hope they'd help:

If you feel these might help, I would post more in the future.

1, subject vs content (this seems a hot topic in analogy, I listed every subject we might face and their contents or the objects they are about)


pediatrics : children
dermatology : skin
pathology : disease (caution: not medicine~)
meteorology : weather
neurology : nerve
ecology : organism & environment
speleology : cave
numerology : occult significance of numbers(this seems would not be in analogy, I met this in reading or sentences...)
natation : swimming ( natation is not only action, can also be the art of swimming)
metallurgy : metal
lapidary : gemstone/cameo
jurisprudence : law
gastronomy : eating/food
horology : time/clock/timepieces
hygiene : health
logic : reasoning
ethics : behavior
semantics : language
penology : prison/criminal
ichthyology : fish
oncology : tumor

2. I call this part "level analogy", A is more severe, more extreme than B, I think this is really important, they are all from real tests, though might not be in the future test, it's good for us to prepare a feeling of this:


convulsion > contradiction
frenzy > emotion
terror > fear
craving > desire
catastrophe > mishap
humiliation > embarrassment
atrocious > bad
momentous > important
reverence > respect
avidity > enthusiasm
loathing > dislike
bliss > pleasure
fascination > interest
adoration > fondness
sodden > moist
astonished > surprised
glacial > cold
profound > deep
enrage > irk
urge > suggest
minuscule > small
saturated > moist
suffuse > tint
quench > damp
preeminence > important
preponderance > weight
ecstasy > pleasure
astonishment > surprise
quaff/swill > sip
gulp/guzzle/gobble > nibble
industriousness > activity
fastidiousness > selectivity
stygian > dark
abysmal > low
ironclad > firm
brilliant > smart
hack > carve
gouge > engrave
terror > apprehension
adoration > affection
gush > trickle
sear > warm
lionize > admire
vituperate > despite
agog > interested
meticulous > careful
exhort > suggest
goad > direct
dazzle > glimmer
resound > murmur
sin > peccadillo
castigation > admonishment
mortify > embarrass
mollycoddle > indulge
coma > unconsciousness
delirium > confusion
inferno > fire
hurricane > storm
crucial > relevant
obvious > perceptible
distraught > troubled
rapacious > covetous
glaring > bright
deafening > loud

3. this part is somehow like the previous one, A is a radical and negative form of B, and A makes people feel bad

zealous : devoted
fastidious : careful
covetous : desire
prodigal : spend
glib : fluent
finicky : meticulous
hubris : pride
flattery : praise
importune : requests
pry : inquiries
extravagance : expenditure
loquaciousness : talk
upbraid : reproach
dote : like
miserly : frugal
arrogant : confident
zealous : enthusiastic
idolatrous : devoted
supplant : replace
snatch : take
moralistic : principle
pedantic : learned
quixotic : idealistic
touchy : sensitive
rashness : courage
prodigality : generosity
milk : extract
exploit : utilize
querulous : complain
prodigal : spends
inveigle : interest
scheme : plan
chicanery : clever
tactlessness : truthful
belabor : assert
fuss : tend
garrulous : talktive
cloying : sweet
servile : compliant
gullible : trusting
paranoid : suspicious
idolatrous : admiring
penurious : frugal
obsequious : compliant
pirate : take
forge : copy
entangle : involve
grill : question
chauvinistic : patriotic
gullible : receptive
officious : attentive
snobbish : refined
carp : complain
guzzle : drink

That's the end for today...good luck everyone
