<p>Well, you might need vocab for the GRE if you want to go to graduate school… </p>
<p>This seems to be the most reliable list:

<p>…as it is backed up by statistical data. (wonder why vocab books do not publish the percentages to make their books more attractive…)</p>
<p>BUT, most of the words there are not vocabulary words because I know already about 1/2 of those words. </p>
<p>Sorry for going off-topic, but is the Barron’s 3500 word list even legit? I don’t see any references of the word list on Google to the Barron’s company…</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
