The New GRE Contextual Vocabulary is a fun efficient way to master GRE Vocabulary. The book will provide you with 200 must-known vocab based on the new GRE test.
GRE Contextual Vocabulary
This book is designed to improve your vocabulary. The focus is on the advanced vocabulary you will need for the GRE revised General Test.
Having a well-developed vocabulary is useful in many settings and especially critical to successful performance on the GRE.
In particular, the Verbal Reasoning section relies heavily on an understanding of advanced vocabulary.
The quality of your responses to the Analytical Writing prompts depends in part on your knowing vocabulary that allows you to express your ideas clearly.
We use a contextual approach to teach new vocabulary. This approach does not rely on conventional flash-card methods.
Rather, new words are introduced in meaningful contexts—i.e., in passages, most of which consist of brief narratives.
Numerous exercises, activities, and puzzles are then provided in order to reinforce your understanding of the new words.
Through this approach, learning new words should be fun rather than just being limited to the use of flashcards and drills.
Guide to the First Two Chapters
Following is some information that will be helpful as you read Chapters 1 and 2—the chapters that provide instruction, and are the longest chapters in the book. Chapters 1 and 2 consist of 12 units apiece.
Each unit begins with a story in which advanced vocabulary words are underlined. You will be asked to guess the meanings of these words, and the meanings will then be provided.
Next you will work through a series of exercises, activities, and games that reinforce and test your understanding of the new words.
These exercises and so on consist of matching, fill-in-the-blanks, puzzles, and more.
In Chapters 1 and 2, every third unit will consist of a review that provides additional exercises, activities, and games that cover what you learned in the previous two units.
Most of the review units will also introduce one or two new words. Answers to all of the exercises, activities, and games in the main units and review units are provided at the end of each chapter.
