  1. Hi guys, Just started studying for the GRE test using the official guide to revised GRE 2nd edition. I am very confident in my quantitative skills and writing capabilities, doing fine and seeing improvement with reading comprehension but i'm stuck at the discrete questions. I thought my vocabulary was fine until I tried the Guide's questions. for those familiar with the book the set questions are devided into easy, medium and hard. Easy questions I got 100%, medium 70% and hard barely 50% when I'm aiming for a score of 160+. Is there really anything I can do to improve my score overtime? I know the correct words to fill in the blanks but I just don't know the meaning of the words presented as options. For example, " The government’s implementation of a new code of ethics appeared intended to shore up the ruling party’s standing with an increasingly _________ electorate at a time when the party is besieged by charges that it trades favors for campaign " money. A aloof B placid C restive D skittish E tranquil F vociferous The words I do know the meaning of are marked, and i'm only 50% correct because one of them happened to be correct. So for those experienced ones, is there any benefit from studying tables of 1500+ words claimed to have a chance to appear on test day? Thanks, Sharon
