In such questions it is impossible to guess the answer as the options given are mostly very similar, so you can not differentiate between them. Also you can be caught in a situation in which you know the meaning of the word given in the question but you do not know the meaning of some word in the five options. Thus it becomes all the more important for you to know the exact meanings, synonyms and antonyms. It is important for you to revise such gre words as well. Look up the exact meanings of even the familiar gre words in order to be doubly sure.

It is not possible for you to learn all the gre words which you collect. So you can select those gre words which are easy to learn, have short meanings and you have heard before. It is best to prepare your own handbook of words. When you are learning new words keep writing them down separately. You can even write a few sentences using those words for better understanding. This will help you keep a track of your work and you will get an alternative source for learning and revising.

The best way of preparing for any entrance is to do so with friends. Keep in touch with a friend or two to know how and what they are preparing. This will help in keeping your spirits and confidence high. Finally don�t get disheartened and stop learning new words. Even if you take some time in picking up speed while learning the words, it is worth spending time and energy on.
