NewWords / Day count... What about you?

[Dr.kicker]

Hey guys...
I just want to check with you all to see if i'm working enough daily on the gre or not, so how many words per day are you guys doing? I mean how many new words are you learning per day? as for me

Weekends : ~ 50 per day (2 days)
Weekdays : ~ 0 (I work from 8:30 AM till 8:00 PM)


The thing is i want to take the test by mid october, and i started 4 days ago...
what are your numbers?
what do u think?

I'm not learning any words now, but when I did, I learned about 200 words per session, with about 2 sessions per week, until I learned 80% of the words in the Barron's book. That was enough, so I stopped.

Woow, i gotta pace up, well actually these stats are old now, i couldnt memorize much while at work (i work 12 hours per day )

hey doc..

we both r in the same boat here..well almost (i work from 10 to 6.30)
and am givin the exam in mid october.
i'll tell u what ..if u've got a comp of ur own in the office download Guru's word list
or study wiz wordlist on it and just take out few mins after every 2 hrs or so to go throught the words u've already studied...(remember there are aroun 2000 wrds and at that rate u'll need 20 weekends to go through the list once)

believe me its a gr8 help

I do about 25-30 words a day/other day. I write them on flashcards the night before and study in the morning, at lunch and at night or whenever I have a few extra minutes. It roughly works out to 150 words a week.
