Study with Manhattan Review's GRE Vocabulary Flashcards
We've discovered over many years of working to help prepare thousands of students for taking the GRE that many of them have a hard time with vocabulary words for the exam. Manhattan Review's instructors created flashcards for students to help address the problem, a proven effective method for vocabulary study. After researching past GREs to find vocabulary words that appear frequently, we've now made the flashcards available online free of charge in a digital, interactive format.
As you review the vocabulary words using the flashcards, the tool takes note of which words you know on the first pass of each set, which you don't, and which you're unsure about, which helps uncover the areas you need to improve. One of the features that makes the tool so helpful is remembering the words you didn't know, and continuing to present them to you until you've succeeded in mastering every word in the set.
Our vocabulary flashcards feature an innovative color-coded design that makes it easy to understand and track your progress as you use them. The words are organized in groups of 50 called "decks," and a number of decks in turn are in each of four categories called Essential, Basic, Intermediate and Advanced. An Essential category, for instance, might have 10 decks. All the categories appear at the top of the page and each displays how much of them you've completed. The example below shows in dark blue that the student has mastered three of the Essential category decks. They're still working on three decks that are indicated in light blue, and have yet to begin the other four marked white.
A detailed review of the decks organized by category is displayed below the Categories progress summary. According to our color-based design, each 50-word deck's progress bar is gray when you begin working on it. Each word will be shown once to you at first. Those that you confirm you know are added to the bar's green section, and the ones you don't know go in the red section. So, the Essential 1 example below indicates the student knew 12 words that are shown in green, didn't know 24 in red, and hadn't yet seen the 14 other words.
After you've gone through all of a deck's 50 words once, the flashcard tool will begin showing you the ones you didn't know the first time around again to see if you've learned their meaning. If you confirm that you now know a word, it's indicated in the bar's yellow section. In the Essential 1 graphic below, the student knows 20 words, and has learned 15 shown in yellow of the 30 they didn't know in the first go-round. The student still hasn't learned the other 15 indicated in red, or hasn't been shown them again yet. Any words you didn't know originally will be presented to you at least two more times. When you first confirm that you learned a word, it's shifted to the yellow section from the red. When you show you know it a second time, it goes from yellow to green, indicating full mastery. Our digital flashcards use this learning reinforcement to make sure that you retain knowledge of the words you've learned.
