Kaplan GRE Exam Vocabulary in a Box Best Review

Bought these cards to study for the GRE general test. I haven't taken the test yet, so I can't comment on how many of these words showed up on the test. But as for the cards themselves, they seem to be pretty good. I knew 30-35% of the words before-hand, but that still left hundreds of words to learn. There is a good variety of words in the cards, but the definitions were definitely lacking. They seemed to all be 3-4 word definitions made up by the author, rather than dictionary definitions. Sometimes I agreed with them, sometimes they seemed really wacky. And the synonyms were pretty vague as well, sometimes barely relating.

The card stock was somewhat light. These aren't thick index card stock, but they aren't super thin either. Good enough, but sometimes the cards get stuck together and you don't even notice.

Overall they are good, with a good variety of words. Hopefully they help me out on the test

Helps you learn the vocab of the GRE and a great accompaniment to the Kaplan GRE study guide.



Great way to reinfoce all those annoying words!!!! - Joseph B. Blaszczak - Kirkland, WA
Welcome to the part of the English language that you will never use!

The flash cards helped in preparation for the GRE. I do not agree with the GRE being as vocabulary-intensive as it is -- I would prefer that it would focus on cogent communication skills as opposed to bombastic vocabulary that only GRE test writers use in everyday communication. Anyway, I digress.

These helped in conjunction with other study skills. I also acquired the Kaplan test prep book and the "Cracking the GRE" test prep book.


They also have a high resale value! I was able to post them at auction after the test and almost recovered the full value!



Worth every penny and every minute of your time - -katie -
These cards are perfect. About 80% of the words I saw on the GRE were in this pack. I memorized every word in this box, and as a result scored in the 95th percentile. I see that other reviewers have commented that the definitions are insufficient, but I disagree. The definition and synonyms that these cards give you are what you need to select the correct answer on the GRE. You don't need a thorough understanding of the word- in fact, I think that might make it more difficult. I'm a very satisfied customer. I highly recommend this product.
