GRE is a very simple exam provided you know the tectics while taking it. In verbal section just try to give the answers to first 10-12 questions out of 30 correctly, it will shoot up your score above 500/800 and if you are able to answer next 5-6 questions within the specified time correctly you are likely to get more than 650 marks in this sections so guys just use this tectic.One more thing don’t panic or get nervous in the examination hall, try to stay cool and positive otherwise you wont be able to give your best performace.

Good luck!

To learn new words, you can go to http://www.freerice.com it’s a vocabulary game/quiz that I like to use- it’s very challenging even for people like myself whose verbal skills are our forte. I don’t know to what extent the words featured are the most relevant for the GRE but they are difficult. I’ve been really unimpressed with the Websters word-a-day, which is too easy to be relevant for a GRE taker.
