 Good investment. January 9, 2008

I decided to take the GRE basically on a whim, and scheduled an exam right after I had finished finals for that particular semester. I did use a few other study methods for the exam, but this was by far the most helpful in a short period of time. I studied these cards intensively for about three days and ended up with a 700 on the verbal section. Take the deck once you get it and quiz yourself over them. Take all the cards you didn't get right and put them into one pile, and then study those. It worked well for me.

I bought several different study aids and used them all. This was the best of the lot. These words actually showed up on the test I took.

The GRE Exam in a Box is a collection of 500 words commonly used on the GRE verbal section. I found this an excellent way to increase my vocabulary for the GRE, and many of the words I learned were actually on the test. I tried making my own flash cards, but much preferred using these cards. They had the word and its pronunciation on the front, and the definition, an example sentence, and synonyms on the back. The cards are sturdy, and were in good shape even after being carried around in my pocket. The definitions were simple and straightforward enough to be remembered easily.
GRE Verbal points in a box December 20, 2008

I bought this box of vocab words after taking the GRE and not being happy with my scores. The verbal section is tricky because how well you do is highly dependent on your vocabulary level. Over the course of 2 months, I learned all 500 words in that box by walking around with a few of the flashcards at a time in my pocket and testing myself during free moments. By learning the words and doing countless practice exams and questions, I raised my verbal score from 540 from 710.
The cards themselves are fairly small and slightly flimsy, but I liked them that way because they were easy to carry around. The front of the card has the word, part of speech, and pronunciation; the back has a succinct definition, a sample sentence, and synonyms. The words I learned were very representative of the vocabulary on the GRE--I saw a dozen or so on the exam I just took.
Bottom line: Only buy these cards if you have the self-discipline to use them, but if you do use them, you will definitely raise your score.
Perfect for Vocab Flunkies December 13, 2009

My strong point is math. Every test I've taken has been severely crippled by my Reading & Writing scores (due to Vocabulary). This product takes minimal time a day to strengthen and increase your vocabulary and prepare you for the GRE.
