When you think about the GRE verbal section, what comes to mind? 27 Proven Test Day Tips
To Ace The GRE
Obscure vocabulary, right?

Fortunately though, the new GRE is definitely less dependent on vocabulary than
the old GRE. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t depend on vocabulary at all.

To score well on the verbal section, you should have a sound knowledge of
vocabulary and must know how and when to use words. So, knowing the
contextual usage of words is the key to score well on the verbal section.

Preparing for the GRE verbal section can be cumbersome, especially when the
time required to build a strong vocabulary is considered. There are various GRE
word lists out there which have words anywhere from 333 to 3500.

But to score well, should you learn all the 3500 GRE words in those lists?

Not at all.

In fact, the questions on the new GRE rely often on the same words, and these 21 Last Minute GRE Tips to I…
I…
frequently reappearing words provide you with a smaller subset of words to
study.

101 High Frequency GRE Words


There are countless GRE word lists and flashcards out there already. Why did we
create one?

Simple! A lot of students have asked us over and over again that if we could
send them a concise list of important GRE words that they can learn in a week or
two. That’s when we realized how big a problem this is for many students who
are running short of prep time.

You should accept the fact that you cannot master the 1000+ words GRE word list
in a week. But does this mean you should skip learning vocabulary altogether!

That’s not an option! So what can you do?


Below you will find an ultimate list of high frequency words that appear on the
GRE. And unlike every other list you will see, there aren’t 1000 words on the list;
just about 100.

Knowing these 101 most common GRE words can improve your chance of
scoring high on the test day. On the other hand, not knowing these GRE words
will only hurt your chances.

This list is a one-size-fits-all solution. It can be used by anyone and everyone. It


doesn’t matter if you are taking your GRE test within the next couple of weeks,
or if your exam in a few months away. If you are not sure about your vocabulary,
and like several thousands of international students who are a bit concerned
about the verbal section, you should start off with this list. Learn every word
perfectly, along with its contextual usage, and then do some practice questions,
and trust me, you will be off to a great start.

Hey Ankit!
Hope your GRE prep is going great!

I wouldn’t call September-end for fall 2015 admissions late but the thing with
college admissions is the sooner you send the application, the better.

Just make sure the colleges you are planning to apply still have their funding
window open till September-end. Most colleges usually would have their
windows open, but you don’t want to take any chance, do you? So visit their
websites right now and check their application window.

Hi Arshritha, thank you for the kind words. We are glad to help you

To answer your question, you will first need to come up with at least two or
three universities you will be applying to because you see, the deadlines for
the universities vary from one to another. I suggest you visit the shortlisted
university websites and look at the deadlines and then book a slot for the test.
Usually, a lot of universities close their applications on December 31st or
January 1st. But check their official websites just to be sure.

Hey Jitta! Great product

I am writing GRE in 3 days. But scared about the results. If it does not turn up as
expected can I give another exam after 21 days? Or is it too late to apply for 2015 fall?

Jitta Raghavender Rao says: REPLY TO JITTA

October 22, 2014 at 3:05 am ·

Hi Yazhini! GRE is definitely not very hard but the fear of it will only lessen your
chances to score higher. Fear and stress take away most of your test time. I
once took the GRE when I was sick and though the pains were bearable, I
didn’t know if I could pull it off and this mere doubt in myself cost me 5 points
on the exam. So, just don’t let the fear take over you. It’s just an exam and all
you need to do is perform your best. I am sure you will do great. Just believe
in yourself!

Just in case you don’t do well, you can definitely take the test again after 21
days. But only if you feel that you can improve your score and can bear the
test fee. Also, it usually won’t be late for your admissions. To be sure, check
the University websites for the official deadlines. All the best.

I am finding it hard to relate the words with the sentences. I am not an avid reader. Will
this be a problem for me to get high scores in GRE

Here are some words I think can be added


1) Contrition – sorrow for sin arising from fear of damnation
2) Ossified – set in rigidly conventional patterns or beliefs
3) Sullen – showing ill humour
4) Hard-pressed – experiencing financial trouble or difficulty

Great List.
