Manhattan Prep GRE: 500 Essential Words: 9781935707899: Reference Books @ desertcart.com

Review: Sturdy, thorough flashcards-A must buy! - These flashcards are great. They are hardy, thorough, and informative. Almost all the flashcards come with the definition, a sentence, related words, and more information regarding the word (e.g. roots, history of the word, etc). The essential package is pretty easy, but it's still a great way to strengthen your vocabulary for the GRE and for daily life as well. They come with a hole punched in each corner and a ring. My methodology is as follows: take out chunks of 75 cards, in alphabetical order, and then study each chunk for 3-5 days until I know them all. Keep doing this until all 500 are covered. But, every week, I go over all of the other cards that I have previously completed. Once all the cards are done, just review the entire set about once a week until your test date. Good luck and prosperity in your academic endeavors!!
Review: Excellent flash cards - The content on these flash cards is more comprehensive than most others I have seen. There is a definition, then usage in a sentence; often times multiple uses in sentences, which helps to more thoroughly convey the meaning and how the word in more commonly used in practice. There are also synonyms, and often explanations of the etymology of the word in a way that is more useful than technical. Furthermore, related words are frequently added and differences noted in how these words are generally employed. The comprehensive content has been an aid in more quickly learning and retaining the meaning and proper usage of the vocabulary words. I wish they had more than 500 words!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best Way to Learn New Vocab (If You're Like Me)
*by J***S on November 16, 2015*

These are by far the best way for me to learn new vocabulary. I looked at all kinds of different GRE vocab media, including flash card and activity apps, website vocab learning quizzes, and different books which took an incredible variety of approaches, including dictionary-like, thesaurus-like, grouping words by category, and activities getting you to absorb the meaning from context clues. In the end, I got this and the 500 Advanced Words sets because they had everything the books had in an easy-to-sort format. The first thing I did was start yanking out chunks of cards and separating them into three categories: Known, Review, and Study. The Known pile includes cards I don't have to look at again, but serve as a reminder of how much I already know! The Review pile includes cards that had a definition or partial definition I wasn't familiar with, but, for the most part, I knew the word. The Study pile was the scary pile of words I didn't know. Once I got over my fear of the size of the Study pile, I started pulling them out of the pile in groups, reviewing them from the front and the back, and taking advantage of their reminders, helpful hints, synonyms, and root words (all listed conveniently on the back). When I hit a rut in my focus, I began turning the cards into crossword puzzles using online crossword puzzle generators. And once I started being able to see my progress, which the cards make uniquely possible (i.e., my new fourth pile, "Learned" was getting bigger and bigger and eventually was bigger than the "Study" pile), I felt even more encouraged to tackle more of them. Someone told me before I started that you can't really learn vocabulary for the GRE. You either know it or you don't. Yeah, I'm here to tell you that's 100% incorrect. I can't believe how many new words I've learned! And I've got these cards to thank for it. I definitely recommend making the piles I talked about if you tend to get discouraged or anxious...it's a constant visual reminder of exactly where you are and how far you've come. (It does take a while to separate them, but it's worth it.) In short, I highly recommend getting these and the 500 Advanced Words sets in printed (vs. digital) format so that you can sort them. The cards are high quality with great example sentences, comparisons, synonyms, roots, and even silly hints that can help you remember complicated words. Separate out the words you know (go you!), then learn the ones you don't! Study on! We can do it!
