Hi Soni

Sorry for the late reply. I know you are probably through with your GRE by now, but for those still preparing, I would recommend the quantitative review in Kaplan, and then Barrons in that order ...

I think the important thing is the pace at which you can effectively remember and revise the already learnt words while building up newer vocabulary

I can understand that Barrons list seems rather intimidating, but the thing is that those words are more or less what is expected of a person entering a graduate program. You'll probably encounter many of them as you start reading journals, papers, Wall Street Journal (if you are a business major), books etc

Yeah Berkeley, UIUC and CMU also prefer that you take the GRE subject. If you end up getting a good subject score, thats like a plus for your app in any case, right?
