GRE Easy Vocabulary Words, Randomly Selected
Here is a batch of randomly-selected easy GRE Vocabulary Words*. To see another
list of easy words, refresh this page. Use these words to help you prepare for
the verbal section of the GRE. You'll want to make sure that you know the
majority of the easy words that most often appear on the GRE, because you'll
have to get the easy questions right so that you can be given harder questions,
and so that you can score high on the verbal section of the exam. Your success
on the analogy and antonym questions is most dependent on the size of your
vocabulary -- the more words that you know, the higher your score.
However, as with all GRE vocabulary lists, memorizing words is not the best way
to learn new words; to do that, you should read extensively. And, use
MyGRETutor's vocabulary tutor to keep track of the words that you have mastered,
and to brush up on those words that you have not.
