<p>I am taking the GRE in one month. I have been studying the list of 333 high-frequency words from Barron's and a flashcard book of Kaplan word flashcards (500 words). Is this enough to get a good score in Verbal?</p>
<p>How "high-frequency" (Based on past experience) are these words?</p>
<p>Any suggestions?</p>
<p>One of my friends studied 800 common words and only saw 2 on the exam. My advice to you is to dedicate time to a solid methodology to help you when you don't know the words, process of elimination, etc. Studying words may be useful, but it's probably not the best course of action if you only have a few weeks until the exam.</p>
<p>Read Charles Dickens and Shakespeare. You might absorb things more usefully that way.</p>
<p>There are 50 words that you absolutely must know. Check a GRE prep book in a bookstore for those. After that, it depends on how much you care about your verbal score. Some people memorize 3000 words, (which generally results in very high scores) and some people are content with the 50 (like me, resulting in decent scores). Those 50 words are widely known to be the most frequent words to show up, and it's worth the couple of hours it takes to learn them. 3 of them showed up on my exam.</p>
<p>That said, there is only so much you can study for this one. There is truly no substitute for a lifetime of reading classic fiction.</p>
<p>I would recommend to focus more on memorizing word roots so that you have some idea of the meaning of words you don't know. But absolutely know the "top 50" or "top 200" I would say.</p>
<p>Where can I find the list of the top 50 or top 200 words?? I will be taking the GRE on October, I don't know where to start :S</p>
<p>The Kaplan book for GRE verbal is a good place to start.</p>
<p>yep. Go to a bookstore and write those 50 words down if you're too cheap to actually buy the book (it's a bit of a rip-off, yet I bought it anyway).</p>
<p>Also, the CD that comes with the book is around for free on the internet, in filesharing sites/apps if you look hard enough. Of course you should never break the law, but in my country filesharing isn't illegal, so there. :)</p>
<p>What about the Word list given in the princeton review book??? it has about 350+ "high frequency" words which i am learning.....along with reading a few jeffery archer novels.</p>
<p>It's Jeffrey Archer, not Jeffery!</p>
<p>Sorry...my fault....that was a typing mistake!!!</p>
<p>I've never read any Jeffrey Archer, but I've found that 18th century literature and some 19th century literature in particular helps.</p>

<p>zxzz74, no one is answering your question because the dates of the GRE depend heavily on your location.</p>
<p>Just go to
<a href="http://securereg3.prometric.com/ProgramInformation.aspx?mode=schedule%5B/url%5D">http://securereg3.prometric.com/ProgramInformation.aspx?mode=schedule</a>
and select your test site, and then possible dates for you will be provided.</p>
<p>If April is the last date shown to you, then ETS simply has not yet scheduled past that month.</p>
<p>are you native english speaker?</p>
