Your GRE Verbal vocabulary practice will be far more organized if you use flashcards instead of a big list as your primary study tool. For example, as you use them, you can separate your flashcards into “mastered” and “not mastered” piles. Then, without having to make any notations or reorganize a spreadsheet, you’ll know exactly which words you need to focus on at any given time.

You can also easily dip back into the “mastered” pile every so often to quiz yourself on previously learned words. And if you find that you’ve forgotten any definitions, you can add those cards back to the “not mastered” pile.

Aside from keeping you organized, flashcards make GRE vocab practice easy because you can use them on the go. Thus, you can fit in quick study sessions or ​​vocabulary exercises anytime, anywhere. A daily commute to work or school, a lunch break, waiting in line at the supermarket, or waiting for an appointment at the dentist’s office are all great opportunities to pull out your flashcards and get in your daily GRE vocabulary review. Even a few minutes is enough to quiz yourself on some words. It all counts toward your vocab study time!
