GRE is soooo easy (if you follow this thread) !!!!

Well, Thanks for making such a good list of synonyms.......
This really works for memorizing words.

Cool list Manish! But GRE is NOT as easy as memorizing words and I am sure all of you will corroborate! It is about something extraordinary--something that needs a complete overhaul of your time, objective and vision. And even after the test GRE experience stays on and on and on..............

Agreed! The title of that thread almost made me smile. If only that was possible. Never heard those words put in a sentence before " GRE" and "so easy"

Manish....i was trying to make a similar list but in vain.your posts are really helpful.I am in the score range of 1100 to 1250 but planning to give out another attempt targetting above 1300.
Looking for your valuable tips for people like me who are very serious about scoring 800 in quants and above 550 in verbal.

Shabbir, GRE is NOT extraordinary.. Ordinary people are cracking it and you have to believe it.. Yes I agree its not only words that can crack it, you need better study and strategy to manage time. Verbal part is mostly dependent on - Words, you need to know as many as you can. You will face difficult words in antonyms, analogies, SCs and RCs..

While naming this thread's title I had in my mind that I will post useful things for both Verbal and Maths. But due to work pressure, I was unable to give enough time to my thread.. I will surely post useful stuff here, so stay in touch with this thread.

are the words in the list all GRE related? or atleast most?

[manish_manish]

Yes, these are GRE related words.

Hello Manish,
I am planning to take GRE in April 2010. I will start preparations from late December. At the moment I am looking to purchase books that would help me prepare for the test...can you help me out with what books to choose? for Verbal section and for Math...
So far I am leaning towards grebible(heard good stuff)...and also ETS's power prep....
for math I am looking at Ultimate math refresher for GRE...what are your thoughts on these selection?
and lastly I have noticed note under your comments about the $49 GRE stuff...is it actually a reliable source for purchase?
Thanks

[manish_manish]

Yes ambitious09, they are reliable materials and I don't want to say but lots of students purchased that stuff from me had got 1400+ in their actual test. I now think GRE questions are mostly coming from that stuff.

Have those and crack the exam easily.

Cheers!
