New GRE Vocabulary Essentials has undergone significant adjustments compared to the previous six editions: the number of words has been reduced. All important words that appear in the exam are included, while words that have never appeared in past exams have been removed to reduce the burden on students. At the same time, new words that have emerged in recent years are added to stay in tune with the times.
This book is divided into three parts:
1. "Core GRE Vocabulary" includes all key words;
2. "New GRE Vocabulary" includes vocabulary that has appeared in recent exams;
3. Additionally, based on an analysis of past test questions and the GRE exam trends, the third part lists over 300 "Predicted GRE Vocabulary" to provide reference for students preparing for the exam. The new categorization makes this book the only one to date that comprehensively covers all key vocabulary from past GRE exams while also being forward-looking.

GRE Vocabulary Essentials categorizes words. Words marked with an asterisk are key words that have already appeared in GRE analogies and antonyms. Words without an asterisk are common fill-in-the-blank or reading words. Students should first memorize the words with asterisks and master them thoroughly before moving on to the others, leaving a deeper impression for fill-in-the-blank and reading or new analogy and antonym questions. The derivatives and synonyms listed under each entry should also be carefully memorized. Statistical data on student performance shows that it is difficult to achieve a high score in GRE vocabulary without memorizing the words with asterisks. For predicted words, students need not analyze them too deeply but should review them frequently before the exam.
Features:
GRE Vocabulary Essentials provides simple and clear English annotations for each word. The reference dictionaries used for the annotations are Merriam-Webster, NewWorldThesaurus, NTC’s, and others commonly used by ETS for test creation. Additionally, synonyms frequently tested in the GRE are added after the English annotations to achieve the purpose of combined memory.
Features:
GRE Vocabulary Essentials does not place analogy questions after the words because this would significantly impair students' judgment in the actual exam. After memorizing the words, students should practice solving analogies to truly master them and fully improve their judgment and analytical skills.
