Performing well in the Verbal Reasoning section of the GRE requires a strong working knowledge of the vocabulary that appears in the questions. Our Word List takes each vocabulary word through its paces, denoting its part of speech, synonyms for its various contexts, it's descriptive meaning, and, most importantly, THREE (3) to FIVE (5) sentences using the word in its varied contexts. When appropriate, those varied contexts include both literal and figurative uses of the word.
The goal of entrance exams, like the GRE, is to anticipate the test-taker's likelihood of success in the field into which they seek entry. Thus, the "long view" of mastering sophisticated vocabulary is that doing so will not only help you prepare for the GRE, but will simultaneously prepare you for what lies ahead. By the end of this book, you will have a fully-functioning, high-level vocabulary that will help you ace the GRE and prepare you for success in your graduate experience and in all aspects of life.
