Common GRE words!

Nov 15, 2007 17:03

Hello everyone! I am taking the GRE tomorrow and I am FREAKING out. I am on the verge of tears. I was wondering if any of you remember common words that show up. Yes, I have gone over the 4000 lists a thousand times, but what words stick out to YOU?

Thank you!
Please pray for me haha.

gre-general, gre

Honestly, out of all the words I studied, not a single one was on my exam. I'd suggest doing something that will relax you and to get a good nights sleep. That will probably help more than trying to re/learn any new words tonight.
Good luck tomorrow!

I agree. Being relaxed is the best thing for you right now. I'm sure you'll be fine.

Good luck!

"Vim" and "mendacious" seem to show up a lot. I'm not kidding. A friend of mine totally called that: when I took the test, I saw both words, and I wouldn't have known the definitions of either one if he hadn't told me to study them.

In my experience, it's better to study the roots of words, rather than specific words. Try to go over some basic Latin, Greek, Old English, etc.

I think the word you need to concentrate on the most at the moment is CHILL :D I didn't study a damn thing for the verbal part and I got an excellent score. Freaking out will mess you up a lot more than anything else at this point. Relax, get some sleep, and have some breakfast tomorrow. You'll do fine!

Enervate.

Yep. I think they like to throw in "enervate" because it appears to have the opposite meaning of its true definition (at least to me it does). Same thing with "torpor."

It didn't come up for me, but my notes are labeled "like enervating ray".
