When taking the vocab quizes using Gregmat’s videos, on the sections that focus on GRE synonyms, I do quite poorly. I was wondering if this matters for the actual exam? As in is memorizing the vocab mountain words on Gregmat not enough and do i also need to memorize GRE’s synonyms for the words on the vocab mountain?
You do not need to memorize synonyms for the vocab mountain. Recognizing the synonyms should come organically—as you learn more words you should naturally find synonyms among them.
If you are struggling with pairing, that likely indicates a different issue entirely.
To help determine what’s going on, please do the following:
-
Specify which vocab quiz set(s) you’re talking about and your average scores on them?
-
Provide an example or two of words that you either failed to pair or paired up incorrectly, along with your reasoning?
