GRE vocabulary list: 12 words with meanings and examples
C1–C212 mots
GRE verbal rewards precision: the answer often turns on one word whose meaning is close to, but not the same as, three plausible alternatives. Learning words in sentences — the way they are tested — beats memorizing bare definitions, so each entry below comes with a context.
Où vous l'utiliserez : GRE text completion, sentence equivalence and reading.
