Hi Guys, I am preparing for GRE and my exam is in Jan '21. My math section is a little weak and inspite of that i found the vocab section the most trying. Remembering all these words is a task in itself and there are JUST SO MANY WORDS!!!!! :grief: So anyway when i couldnt do it myself i turned to apps which could help me atleast to some extent. In that search i came across an app by GREedge. The app is called GREedge WordBot and OMG guys the app is so amazing. It has visual aids to help remember the words, it has fun tests and clues and it also has levels which sort of feels like a game. The app has really made learning easy and so much fun. If anyone is facing the same problem as me i would definitely recommend you to try out this app. :eager: Also if anyone has any other better apps please so suggest.

Hi, GRE studiers, I co-wrote a GRE Vocabulary Mnemonics book that is available on Amazon.com. I am looking to get more intelligent, honest, thorough reviews of the book and for those willing to write such a review, I can send you a Google Drive link that is a free copy of the book. If you'd like one, please send me your email and I will send you the link. Please also confirm you're willing to write a review on Amazon - I don't want to give everyone in the world a free copy, but I'm more than happy to if you'll write a review on Amazon.com. I think the book is really useful to learn GRE vocab, but then again I wrote it, so I'm a little biased. :) - Vince

This is the final installment of the series "How good does your vocabulary need to be?" in order to score within certain ranges on the GRE verbal section. Even though the new GRE test has changed, it is certainly easier to get high scores when you have a good vocabulary. I will appreciate it if you let me know what you think of these videos. http://youtu.be/FLcYHCZ89Yo Regards, Payman

Hi guys, I took GRE some time back and vocabulary was the most difficult part for me. From the standard list of words, there were a lot I remembered but a few which I could never remember. I searched for a website which could test me on the words I did not know more frequently than the words I knew. I couldn't find such a website. Then I decided to create one. And now I have: Vocabulary GRE. Based on your right and wrong answers, it identifies your strong and weak words and will ask you YOUR weak words more frequently. The website is absolutely free to use and does not have advertisements to distract you. I am not making any money out of this. My goal is to just make it easier for everyone else to learn these words. One thing I will definitely appreciate is feedback. If this method proves helpful, I will extend it to cover quant as well. [DELETED BY MODERATOR] Thank you. Regards, Neerav Mehta.

The following website has newly added a section for IELTS vocabulary in 20 lessons which will be uploaded regularly. When you open the page by clicking on each vocabulary you can hear the correct pronunciation and read its definitions, origin and forms. http://www.learnenglish-test.com/index.php/toefl-vocabulary/ielts-vocabulary/ielts-vocabulary-practice1 Having a good vocabulary knowledge will help you a great deal in your exam.

some interesting word histories: Guillotine The GUILLOTINE is something that was invented to replace older and harsher methods of execution but it became a terror in itself. It was in fact the device of execution during the French revolution. When the French revolution took place and the National assembly came into power, it ordered the setting up of a committee that would come up with a better method of execution and wished to replace decapitation with a sword or axe. The committee formed included Dr. Antoine Louis and Dr. Joespeh-Ignace Guillotin as members of the committee. It is the latter’s name that the device guillotine borrows. The device chosen by the committee borrowed the traditional Italian and Scottish designs and added a very sharp and heavy blade to it. This blade, placed at a height, would decapitate instantly and with complete certainty. Read further on: Guillotine: Killing at its worst | Wordpandit badger: How did this animal name come to be used as a verb? N the late 18th century, there was the common sport of badger-baiting in play. In this sport, dogs would be set upon badgers in an attempt to draw them from their burrows. The dogs would fight with them and eventually kill it. This “harassment” of innocent animals lent us the word “badger”. Thus, when a lawyer badgers a witness, he would force him or her into the corner till the time they agree to his version of events. Read further on: Badger : Badger : Annoying someone | Wordpandit bacchanalia: This is word of divine origin, with it being based on the name of the Roman God Bacchus. Bacchus is the Roman variant of the Greed god Dionysus. Dionysus, in Greek mythology, was the god of the winemaking and wine, and through the route of intoxication lead to ecstasy and liberation. And Bacchus takes over a similar role in Roman mythology. The term Bacchanalia is derived from the initiatory rites that were dedicated to Bacchus. In these ceremonies, there was an incorporation of carnality, sexually licentious behaviour, induced obviously through excessive drinking. Gradually, the cult of Bacchus drew the ire of the Roman authorities and more and more restrictions were placed on it. Read further on: Bacchanalia | Wordpandit Sybarite: Word History: Sybaris was an ancient Greek colony in Southern Italy. It was a flourishing trading centre, and its inhabitants put their considerable wealth to the service of unrestrained slef-indulgence. Their luxurious and debauched ways became a byword in the ancient world, and Greek Subarites ‘Inhabitant of Sybaris’ came to be synonymous with ‘pleasure-seeker,’, and also with ‘lecher’-both heterosexual and homosexual. The Englsih word has been derived from a Latin descendent, Sybarita, of the same and is rather toned down in comparison to the original word.

Okay, so this isn't a quick fix, but it does work. One really good way to improve the vocabulary of your essays is to get to know the Academic Word List. What it contains are the 570 most common word families that are common to all forms of academic writing. The words are absolutely perfect for IELTS writing. Here is a quick sample exercise. Look at these two paragraphs and ask yourself which one you would like to write yourself: In contrast, there is only one major argument on the other side of the debate. This is that both museums and art galleries need to charge an entrance fee if they are to survive in the modern world. Governments do not have sufficient funds to subsidise all such institutions and there are other priorities for public money. Therefore these galleries and museums need to charge their customers not only to survive but to update their exhibitions and make new purchases. By way of illustration, the Tate Modern in London could not have been founded without revenue from admissions. But there is only one good argument against. This is that both museums and art galleries need to charge for entrance if they are to live in the modern world. Governments do not have enough funds to give all such places and there are other needs for public money. Therefore these galleries and museums need to charge their customers not only to stay in business but to update what they show the public and buy new paintings. For example, the Tate Modern in London could not have been set up without money from admissions. Hopefully, you chose the first one. The differences are all to do with the AWL. They are: In contrast = but major = good survive = live sufficient = enough subsidise = give institutions = places exhibitions = what they show the public illustration = example founded = set up The best way to understand how to use this language is to look at these words used in context.
