How to work for best results..

If you really want to benefit from these blogs, if you want a great score in the GRE, if you want to remember thousands of words and that too unforgettably, then there are a few things that you need to train yourself on. Without a proper, systematic training on Vocabulary Improvement Strategies nothing can be achieved.

I would like to state here some principles of learning:

1. Space your learning- Know Thyself: It is essential for you to understand the pace of your learning. Are you a fast learner? Or do you require some moderate time for learning? An analysis of this kind is very important. Once you understand this you will certainly learn at an effective pace. Apportion yourself a few words everyday and try to understand the word from the meaning perspective and the contextual usage perspective. Have your own note book and personalized dictionary. Have your own paraphernalia for language learning.
2. Haste is waste: Do not rush. Do not commit to learning 500 words a day. That’s absolutely quixotic and meaningless!! Instead commit yourself to just five words a day and imbibe their meanings thoroughly.
3. Review: You have to keep going back to the words you learned every now and then. Words are like relatives, you don’t keep visiting them; they feel offended and would leave the room of your memory…J
4. See where you stand: After all this effort, won’t you feel like testing your knowledge. Keep taking tests frequently. This will help you identify your faults. You can then come up with suitable remedies.

But most important of all ‘Have a plan of action’ and ‘follow it religiously’!!

    I have realllly appreciated your website since I registered for the GRE. It has given me a wake up call – to fasten my belt in the english course. Please can I get an online GRE certificate. Thank you.

35. AnuVeluri on July 31st, 2009 3:18 pm

    Thanks so much Osman..do read other blogs too..

36. RICHMOND DUGBATSE on August 1st, 2009 2:50 pm

    FROM WHAT I JUST READ, I CAN LEARN 3 NEW WORDS A DAY BUT HOW DO THEY BECOME PART OF ME IF I DO NOT USE THEM IN MY DAILY CONVERSATIONS? GOD BLESS YOU ALL FOR YOUR EFFORT TO MAKE EVERYBODY PROFICIENT IN ENGLISH.

37. AnuVeluri on August 4th, 2009 12:33 pm

    Dear Richmond, I can surely understand ur problem…I think u have to ‘create’ situation for speaking in English..there may be at least a few friends of urs who are genuinely interested in the language…so form a group and start speaking…all language learning theories emphasize ‘practice’ over rote learning..

44. Dairo Emma on August 31st, 2009 8:07 pm

    Dear host,
    first of all, let me say a big thank you to the team that made this platform a reality.

    Though,am still on with my undergraduate studies but coming across this site is not in error at all. I have been inspired to take learning a major priority so as to be fluent in speech in the public setting.

    For this, i have concluded taken the GRE as soon as i get over with my undergraduate studies. I would like it if these words are also used in a sentence so as to know the right context each belong.
    Once again thanks for the efforts and good works well done.

45. AnuVeluri on September 1st, 2009 4:45 pm

    Dear Dairo, we do have words and their contextual usage..follow the series GRE Essential Vocabulary pls..

48. DusanRamljak on November 6th, 2009 12:27 pm

    Hi!
    I think that I found the best spot to write about my overall preparation for GRE. Well, there is nothing here about Quantitative segment, but I will try to show you how do I see analogy between above mentioned and Verbal segment and my experience with the two.
    They both consist of a huge number of definitions and both require logical reasoning. For each and every assignment you need to find the appropriate meaning and apply particular definition. As far as Quantitative segment is concerned if I am extremely distracted my score “nosedive” to 90% while on the other hand, when I am absolutely focused and concentrated I can score no more than 60% on the Verbal segment. If I do not know some definition in the first one, I can derive it in no time, while in a latter I am doomed. I know what I have done to increase my Quantitative abilities, I practiced day and night throughout my elementary and high school. But, I practiced English with same intensity and passion. In fact, it might be that now, when I am absolutely aware of the analogy I will be able to improve my scores? Unfortunately, when this improvement will occur, I am not sure. I am sure that I need it fast
    Best wishes
    Dusan

49. AnuVeluri on November 6th, 2009 2:03 pm

    Hmm wishing you success!!

58. Qian Shuo on April 1st, 2010 4:42 am

    Dear sir,
    Your method is truly reasonable. But i am afraid that i cannot agree with your advice of learning only 5 words per day. Time is limited(i have only 2 month left for preparing, and i want to get a score of more than 550 in Verbal part). If i follow your step, i cannot master all words in vocabulary of GRE before the deadline. Actually I decide to remember 500 words per day, which is just your counter example.
    Could you give more detailed explanation to solve the problem of disagreement?
    Thanks a lot and best wishes.

59. DAFROZA on April 2nd, 2010 8:13 am

60. Oghenekaro Omodior on April 11th, 2010 5:37 pm

    I am due to take the GRE in two weeks, and quite frankly, I must say that its been very challenging as well as informative having to take those real live, timed tests on your website. My vocabulary has improved greatly, and I cant wait to take this test. I will let you know of my score and perhaps a word or two to you guys saying thank you for the vocabulary list

72. Alagiavanan on June 17th, 2010 7:45 am

    Hi ‘Anu Veluri’ and the others!

    I have 8 months left for GRE. How many words should I learn per day. Rush your entries to alagi_grd@yahoo.com. Thanks a lot in advance! Pleaz reply immediately!!

73. oghenekaro on June 25th, 2010 9:29 am

    Good day to you all. I did promise that I will get back to you after I have taken my GRE. Well, I took my GRE precisely may 29, and my verbal score was 540, quantitative 650 and analytical – 4.5. Not too bad a result considering the time frame within which I had to prepare for the test. I had less than 6 weeks to cover all the stuff on GRE. I bought and used kaplan; and also (very importantly) I benefited a lot from the vocabulary practice tests (synonyms, antonyms etc) on learnwordlist.com.

    It is for this reason that I want to thank you guys for doing a great job of putting all those difficult words out there for us to learn. It was of tremendous benefit to me especially the timed tests. This helped me prepare with time in mind, and considering the time frame within which I prepared for the exams, there wouldn’t have been a better helping aid. I would not advise anybody to prepare within the kind of time frame I did, except ofcourse you are the type of person who thrives best under pressure like myself.

    Once again thanks a lot and keep up the good workl

74. shipra on June 26th, 2010 4:52 am
