i don’t understand why these type of words learning is necessary. they gave me few sheets of paper with thousands of unknown - peculiar words: amity, apogee, aplomb, affinity, ameliorate, abstinence, abase, copious, coiffure, carafe, caulk, bla… bla… bla..! i never used these words and i don’t know if i’ll need to use them later. they asked me to memorize them!!! its really tough to learn when you don’t get the thing as your every day’s tools. the maths part of GRE is interesting. its need practice… thats all. but when they asked me about the words… i start see everything blurry. in last test of vocabulary i’ve got 15 out of 40; so poor! because the highest scorer got 39! anyway, i am not worried. i believe in slow and steady process. i hope i’ll learn some techniques of memorizing the words. may be you also can help me with that. do you have any suggestion?
