![]() As you study vocabulary, it’s important not only to learn the literal dictionary definition (the denotation), but also to understand the metaphorical use of the word in context (the connotation).You could have one pile for words whose denotation you are trying to master, another containing words for which you know the denotation but not the connotation, and a “done” stack that gets reviewed only rarely. As you read and find more words you don’t know, look them up, make flashcards (including context), and make your own flashcard decks. I wrote this schedule recommending the Magoosh’s GRE Flashcards, but DO NOT limit yourself to just these words. They’re free and you can use them on the web, on your iPhone/iPad or Android. Magoosh’s online GRE Vocabulary Flashcards and GRE Math Flashcards.Take note that PowerPrep Online and the paper-based test have overlapping material, so it won’t be of much help to do both, unless you space them out far enough so that you won’t recognize the questions and answers! I recommend using PowerPrep Online if you can, since taking the test on a computer is a better simulation of exam day conditions. ![]()
