GRE WORD LIST

The word lists below are presented in the same order that I learned them in 1998 when I was preparing for a GRE test. Before printing and carrying the lists with you all the time, you should think for a while if you could benefit from the lists, and if you suppose so, how you could use them. The lists were really helpful to me, but it may not be the case for you; they may contain some words which will never appear in any GRE administration. Whether you benefit from these word lists or not, I wish you as good GRE scores as you desire. Good luck to your GRE and also your future academic life in the States!
1. Barron's word list (4,842 words) The original Barron's word list has about 3,500 words. This word list also includes about 1,300 additional words not in the original Barron's word list which I thought should be memorized together. Their definition is preceded by a 's' mark in the Ascii text file and a heart symbol in the Postscript files. (LaTeX was used to create Postscript files from Ascii files.) You might change the Ascii text files for your own use. You may ignore 'n' marks in the Ascii text file and spade symbols in the Postscript files; they indicate that accompanying words were new to me. 2. Big Book word list (876 words) Big Book is a volume of 27 actual GRE administrations, published by ETS. This word list might help you review actual GRE tests in Big Book and save your time. It also contains a list of words which are related with 'walk' and 'piece'. Stay away from this word list before studying Big Book! 3. Barron's word list - scrambled After learning through Barron's word list twice or more, you will find why I wrote a C program for scrambling Barron's word list! 4. Illustrations in dictionaries
Illustrations in dictionaries are an excellent tool for memorizing
nouns. This list is based on Oxford dictionary and Longman dictionary.
If you have much time, try it; I couldn't memorize all of थेम.

4. Additional words If you have so much time that you may sleep for 12 hours everyday, try it. This list is based on the book GeRo Vocabulary by Jungki Kim and contains many important words. I learned the word proffer for the first time in this book and it appeared in an antonym question on my GRE test!
You may have to install some software such as Ghostview for printing Postscript files if you are using a PC. Printing the hand-held note Postscript file for Barron's word list with double-side printing gives one sheet for each section। A 'h' mark in a line of the Ascii text files indicates a new page to be started on double-side printing. Exercise notes may be helpful if you prefer memorizing words by writing them.
