Hi all!
I got a 147 on my practice GRE verbal (below average
) and I was wondering if anyone has good resources to help me learn a lot of vocabulary...and fast. Vocab is the hardest part for me. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks! ~

Hi there,
Vocabulary on the GRE can be quite tricky. It requires you to remember a lot of words that you might probably not use in daily conversations. But you see, that is the strategy.. to get familiar with words and NOT to just memorize them. CrackVerbal has designed a set of 500 GRE flashcards that use the technique of Mnemonics to help you understand and remember words.
You can watch a set of videos on our Youtube channel that explain how to learn and remember the high frequency words on the GRE (just search for the CrackVerbal channel in youtube, currently we are unable to post links - so apologies for the inconvenience
)
Also, you can download a mobile version of our GRE flashcards - its called as WordToonz (available in both iOS and Android Play store). Once you download the app, you will get access to 7 levels of GRE words. It is more like a word guessing game, so you are bound to enjoy it
If you would like to know more about our offerings for GRE Verbal, just head to our CrackVerbal website and you will get access to tonnes of resources (both Verbal and Quant) to help you with your prep!
Hope this helps

Hello Dotty1985,
I don't know what do you exactly mean by fast. One book helped me tremendously to learn vocabulary was ''Word Power made easy'' by Norman Lewis.
I personally do not prefer to learn vocabulary directly from wordlists. You have to be in a good platform already in terms of vocabulary to read and learn from advanced wordlists. From your score there is a good chance that you are still a bit short of that level. I suggest try that book out and go through it fast (very easy to go through...) and then your outlook towards vocabulary will absolutely change.
