do read kaplan for GRE

Dear Barron Patrons

I think guys preparing for GRE should also read kaplan GRE Verbal Book

It has lot of other tips and tricks for vocab. The word lists are grouped as per their meaning and related words are easy to remember/understand.

I am not saying barron should not be read but Kaplan should also part of your study plan.

Tips for GRE

  1. Do not under estimate math. You will make mistake not because you do not know, but because of lack of practise
  2. Revise English
    1. Read the yesterday's word list again after finishing your quota for today.
    2. Revise old word-lists again on weekends.
  3. Be regular unless you are shakespeare who can do everything in last 3 weeks
  4. Have 15 days for practise.
  5. Knowing the context helps in remembering words
    1. Read newspapers/articles which have good vocabulary
    2. Use google image search and try to see image of the article/situation being talked about
      1. Ex. It is difficult to remember what gruel or cog is, but if you see the image of it, then it will be easy for you
      2. Knowing the roots of the words is also very helpful
  6. Writing section is important and needs your attention. Do not think that you will just note down the key points and you will do well
    1. Practise is paramount
  7. Do a lot of practise and believe in yourself. May god be with you
