Obscure vocabulary, right?  \nFortunately though, the new GRE is definitely less dependent on vocabulary than the old GRE. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t depend on vocabulary at all. To score well on the verbal section, you should have a sound knowledge of vocabulary and must know how and when to use words. Hence, knowing the contextual usage of words is the key to score well on the verbal section.  \nPreparing for the GRE verbal section can be cumbersome, especially when the time required to build a strong vocabulary is considered. There are various GRE word lists out there which have words anywhere from 333 to 3500. To score well, should you learn all the 3500 words in those lists? Fortunately, the questions on the new GRE rely often on the same words, and these frequently reappearing words provide you with a smaller subset of words to study.  \nHands down, the most concise high frequency GRE word list!  \nThere are countless GRE word lists and flashcards out there already. Why did we create one?  \nSimple! A lot of students have asked us if we could send them a concise list of important GRE words that they can learn in a week or two. That’s when we realized how big a problem this is for many students who are running short of prep time.  \nYou should accept the fact that you cannot master the 1000+ words GRE word list in this timeframe. But does this mean you should skip learning vocabulary altogether? Not an option! So what can you do?  \nWe have an ultimate list of high frequency words that appear on the GRE. And unlike every other list you will see, there aren't 1000 words on the list; just about 100. Knowing these 101 most common words can improve your chance of scoring high on test day. On the other hand, not knowing these words will only hurt your chances.  \nThis list is a one-size-fits-all solution. It can be used by anyone and everyone. It doesn't matter if you are taking your GRE test within the next couple of weeks, or if your exam in a few months away. If you are not sure about  \nyour vocabulary, and like several thousands of international students who are a bit concerned about the verbal section, you should start off with this list. Learn every word perfectly, along with its contextual usage, and then do some practice questions, and trust me, you will be off to a great start.  \n101 High Frequency GREWords  \nLaconic (adj.)– brief and to the point; effectively cut short  \nJessica is so talkative that her sister thought the situation warranted conciseness, and her being laconic.
