<p>I find that one of the largest problems I encounter when practicing for the verbal section is my lack of knowledge of higher level vocabulary. Does anyone have any advice as to how they improved their vocabulary? I'm using the official GRE practice book and TPR's Cracking the GRE 2014 edition.</p>
<p>Hi This is what I suggest to another member. Hope this would be of some help:</p>
<p>Hi there are lot of online resources available on the internet. You can surely apply certain tips which will help you improve which are as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>Understand how vocabulary works in context. You should look up for example sentence online.</li>
<li>Use lists of prefixes, roots, suffixes, common mistakes, similar words, etc.</li>
<li>Read articles which are scholarly, dense, and challenging. And remember whenever you encounter words you don’t know, look those words up and try to get a better sense of how they function in context.</li>
</ol>
<p>Apart from this, their is an alternate way of improving vocabulary through flashcard. Some of the GRE providers are providing vocab flash card on Mobile App. The best part is you can memorize vocab using flashcard on the go. We also offer similar app - Gradestack GRE app which has over 3500+ Vocab flash card, 2000+ test questions with detailed solution.</p>
<p>I recommend using “illustrate - The Video Dictionary” to improve vocabulary. Use the features “Word of the Day”, “Question of the Day”, and “Explore more words” to keep learning day by day. A small effort goes a long way in improving one’s vocabulary.
