Hi Everyone,
We all know how daunting GRE Vocabulary can be. In an attempt to make vocab learning productive and enjoyable, Carcass and I are sharing with you 2 spreadsheets, built upon the most relevant resources!
A quick overview of what these spreadsheets offer:
The first spreadsheet consists of words with the highest probability of appearing on GRE along with their possible meanings and Youtube Videos. Watching Youtube videos help to retain words and their meanings since the process of memorization is more consistent.
The second spreadsheet consists of each word ranked by the number of times it appears in the ETS original guides. We used all the Sentence Equivalence, Text Completion, Reading Comprehension and Critical Reasoning across all the ETS books. For each word, we also provide links to the question on GRE Prep Club which contains this word.

We are opening up the spreadsheets for commenting so you can suggest to us which videos/meanings/links are incorrect. Here are some known issues:
For the second spreadsheet, note how the first few words seem to appear a lot of times in the Official Guide. This is because the first few words are small and appear as a part of another word in some questions. This issue is largely limited to the first few words only as far as we know.
For the first spreadsheet, few videos are not in English (because of the lack of videos explaining that word). This issue isn’t widespread either.
For the second spreadsheet, a word having 0 question associated with it doesn’t necessarily mean that it doesn’t appear in the Original Guide in any form. It just means that the exact word doesn’t appear anywhere. For example, although “cacophonous” doesn’t appear anywhere, “cacophony” does.
We are really hoping that the GRE community can come together and help us create a perfect spreadsheet out of this! We sincerely hope you find them helpful! We are also considering converting everything to quizlet flashcards. Let us know in the comments what you think about them. Please feel free to leave feedback here
