    Vocabulary is really important for scoring high in the GRE. Many students do not have strong enough vocabulary. Sometimes it is too late for picking up the dictionary and try to improve, if the examinations are near somewhere. It takes time to absorb so many words with right meaning and the context in which they can be used. Undoubtedly your vocabulary skills have everything to do with how high you score on both of them. The word list you shared here would be very helpful for the students as, the makers of the GRE use advanced vocabulary words in creating the test, words that you may not have encountered all that often, and could easily have forgotten. The GRE tuition providers teach vocabulary with the help of different activities that may help to remember. Thanks for sharing such a helpful post.
