Your word lists are good but it will be even better if you can provide example sentences. You can also make the words as links to some online dictionary page meant for that word. If possible you can also provide mp3 files containing the word list in audio format.

John on January 17th, 2011 3:17 am

wow, i tend to prefer working with the VLE (virtual learning environment) here than carrying my barron’s book to study because it’s easier and fun for me. though barron’s still got good record in helping students with popular GRE words. I scored 350 in my last GRE verbal section bt am optimistic that my next test in 3 wks time will give me a better score for me to secure a PhD position with my school of choice: engineering at texas a&m.

My test performance in d A-word was ok, it’s encouraging. though the harder /unfamiliar words in the A-list didnt come out in the test.
shipra on January 20th, 2011 4:17 am

Thanks for your comment John, it is suggested kindly keep studying barron with our test in order to learn more unfamiliar words.

I found this site very interesting and helpful to students as well as to teachers like me. But I guess it is far better if your programmers and/or researchers would add the IPA to every vocabulary to be perfectly a complete one stop site that offers everything.
