Brute Force Word Memorizing

Just memorize all the words lists one at a time. Have a target of 3 to 7 wordlists per week or 1 word list per day. Read 5 word list, then make sure you can recollect all the words before starting 6th word list. you can mix it up by starting 1 to 5 then 46 to 50 and back to 6 to 10 and so on.

This is not easy as it sounds, but if you are struggling to find a way to remember, then it could help. Within 3500 Barrons GRE Words, you will find related words. If you find a word in List 1 and if you read a synonym for that word in List 25, go back to List 1 and write the word you found in List 25.

Word to Picture Association

There are few companies that sell products [Word to picture associations]. Do you have to spend ton of money to buy something that will hell you remember words. Its just waste of money. How long it would take for you to associate a picture to a word? Seriously, if you cannot find an image to associate to a word, you better reconsider if you really want to take GRE Exam.
