How many words per day would you suggest? I don't commute through public transport. So gotta stick to the traditional mnemonic method. I sat for the exam last November and scored somewhat like you. But last time I didn't study much for verbal. But this time I want to really give it a go.

Thanks in advance.

Verbal is about more than just your vocabulary. The contextual understanding of the words matter, since your flexibility to use and understand them will be tested.

Thanks a lot. I will keep that in mind and study accordingly. If you don't mind can you please tell me what material can I follow. I have around 20 days left and I haven't finished OG yet. SO, other than OG what should be my go-to-source.

Well, let me answer you with my own experience:

When I started learning (I emphasize "learning" not memorizing)I tried to write a story in which all GRE words with their synonyms and antonyms were used, so that sometimes I learned 100 per day! It really depends on your story! For example, My story is about a rich family in which you can see silent, reticent and taciturn matron, fretful, peevish, grumpy girl! Also remember besides the story, you should write hard vocab on a whiteboard. at first maybe it seems hard but when you start writing your own story it will become easy. You should read and use GRE words in the sentences.

Generally I am good at reading and got 28 in reading at TOEFL ibt test and I don't have any problem with other sections in GRE verbal except RC.I waste time a lot in RC sections. Without timing, I can answer correctly more than 15 out of 20 verbal questions. In order to increase my speed in reading, I am reading journals and magazines everyday.
I hope I could help you.

is verbal part the easiest or the hardest one?

In my honest opinion is tougher.

GRE, mainly, is a verbal test. Even though, the quant side became more difficult recently.

I would say the tougher question is around 700 compared to those that appear on the GMAT.

Wow! Great story. This gives me motivation to continue my journey of learning 1,000 new GRE words. I started a few weeks back but I stopped because it was so time consuming to learn the words. I usually found myself spending hours trying to learn (not memorize) 5 new GRE words daily.

Its because I have always memorized vocab. all my school and university life and I never really got the chance to learn it. Its proven to be a challenge but hopefully I can pull through.

Thank you

What do you find is the best method for memorizing so many words. Which resources have you used

I usually rely on the logic of the sentence. The vocabs I do know comes from my reading on a daily basis. I do not memorize purposely.

It is a waste of time to do specifically.

I hope this method helps me
