Features: The GRE Vocabulary Breakthrough (Upgraded Version) keeps up with the latest trends of the GRE exam and is tailor-made for global GRE takers. This book has several key features:
1. Comprehensive Vocabulary: Covering the entire range of vocabulary required for the latest GRE exam, this book strives for comprehensiveness. It selects all important category-analogy, fill-in-the-blank, and reading words that have appeared in GRE past papers up to September 2002. With its sheer volume and freshness, it surpasses all other major GRE vocabulary books to date.
2. Categorized Arrangement with Emphasis: Following the principle of "prioritizing the essential and ensuring the complete," the compiler categorizes the book into sections such as introductory, core, and obscure vocabulary based on word importance. This allows readers of different levels to study selectively and focus on key words, greatly improving learning efficiency.
3. Practice with Real Tests for Effective Memorization: Using real test questions to aid memorization is one of the most effective methods for mastering GRE vocabulary. Experienced test-takers know that memorizing words in a test context is far more efficient than isolated memorization, and the reason is straightforward.
4. Sufficient Practice Sections for Enhanced Preparation: We have included 10 sections of practice questions from April 1997 to April 1999. Unlike the core vocabulary, the analogies in these practice sections are not included in the main body but are provided as supplementary analogies at the back of the book. This avoids overwhelming readers and ensures a smooth and complete preparation process.
5. Concise Explanations Focused on Exam Relevance: Many words have seven or eight possible definitions. However, one key feature of the GRE exam is that it tests word meanings relatively consistently, often focusing on one or two specific meanings. The Chinese explanations in this book are tailored to the exam's testing patterns, making it easy for readers to link the explanations to actual test questions.
6. Creative Mnemonics for Instant Recall: Another highlight of this book is its provision of numerous clever mnemonic techniques, enabling many words to be memorized effortlessly.
7. Advanced Category-Analogy Practice: This book can also serve as a supplementary guide for improving analogies and antonyms. By memorizing the analogies in this book, readers can comprehensively grasp the problem-solving strategies for analogy questions.
8. English Annotations with Group Memory Techniques: The English explanations in this book reference authoritative dictionaries and word lists such as Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, New World Thesaurus, The American Heritage Dictionary, and Barron’s Word List.
9. Interactive Online Features with Free Classroom Access: A revolutionary feature of this book is its complete interactivity.
