Do you know if any one source containing GRE words, all GRE words, and nothing but GRE words?
I was of the illusion that Bigbook plus Barrons cover them all until I met with antonym of "hauteur" in pp today.

Thanks!

Maybe someone who finished GRE will give you a more credible answer

IMO,
Haven't tried personal coaching myself. I think Barrons and Bigbook along with powerprep is more than enough material for 2 months*4 hours. Besides you have this forum too. And try taking as many powerprep tests as you can. Good luck!

I do not think that there is any list out there that can guarantee that it will cover GRE words and only GRE words. You will only see 30 questions so any list you study will give you far more words than you will actually see on the test, but there are always going to be words that will show up that weren't on the list. I suggest studying Barron's, and dictionary.com's word of the day has a lot of words that Barron's missed. But there will still be words that will fall through the cracks that these lists will miss.

There are other tips you can use if you're not sure what the word means. For example, in the antonyms, eliminate any choices that are synonyms for each other. If they both mean the same thing, they can't both be antonyms for the word provided. In analogies, eliminate any words that don't have an obvious relationship. From the choices you have left, you can choose the one that sounds most plausible as an antonym or analogy.
