Hi all,
I'm studying Barron's GRE wordlist for more than 3 months on a regular basis. But facing difficulty to remember most of them. I googled in the Internet how to improve memorization (like: by Barron's picture dictionary, or by Ultimate Vocabulary 2007 softwares). But could not get any of these two softwares to use and enrich my barron power. Do you know any download link (besides their official website) of these softwares? or any suggestions, I'll be glad.

Thanks.

mnemonics are slow. I only use them if I repeatedly come across the same word during review that I missed before. Word groups help but I only made them for review after memorizing the Barrons first. Personally, the subtleties of some of these words in the context of the GRE exam is beyond Barron definitions (at least for some questions from BB) so use a dictionary if necessary.

Picture dictionaries are just a market gimmick since most people won't/can't form long lasting associations between words and pictures. Its the same reason why most people tend to think in words rather than in images.

Thanks rokxal for the good advice. I was thinking so about the picture dictionary of Barron's. And ruchia, I'm downloading the youtube video you gave to know a memorizing technique.

Thanks
