<p>I scored 610 on the verbal portion of the first Power Prep sample GRE, and I wrote down a list of about 50 words that showed up on the exam which I was unfamiliar with. I found 41 of those words on a list of the 1,000 most frequently tested SAT words, but only 4 on Barron's 800 essential words for the GRE (which include most of Kaplan's top 500). </p>
<p>Would I be better off studying SAT vocab instead of GRE vocab, or is the Power Prep GRE very much unlike the real thing?</p>
