To start, please fill out the one time registration form to gain access to:
All levels of our unique audio vocab files (nearly 3000 “must know” words!)
Quiz area where you can test your skills (including in-format GRE/SAT questions)
Members’ forum, where you can discuss test subjects, ideas, study tips—even seek advice from actual GRE instructors
After you log in, browse the different vocab levels and measure your success on a few quizzes to determine your ability level. Then dive in to the lists! Select a list and download the audio file onto your mp3 player. Keep a copy of the accompanying text file on your computer or print one out for reference.
To maximize your learning:
Each list contains 25 words. Download a few at a time, but don’t overwhelm yourself; trying to learn too many words at once is counterproductive.
Choose a list and listen to it about 10 times in a row. This process will take a little less than an hour, so you can time your studying with your workout, your commute, your errands, etc. Later that day, refresh your memory by listening to the list a few more times.
Repeat the process the following days, as necessary—find a comfortable and effective learning pace.
After a few days of listening, you should be able to master every word. Use the quizzes to test your understanding.
Remember:
Learning new vocabulary requires practice and patience, but Testwiser’s audio curriculum will ensure that it doesn’t have to be painful or tedious!
Tips:
Actively apply your new vocab, either through the Testwiser quizzes or through everyday reading, writing, and conversation.
Be sure to review old lists as you move onto new ones; don’t let the words you’ve learned slip away.
For extra practice, create a blank word list and challenge yourself to supply the definitions. Then work backwards, matching words to the definitions.
Make connections between the words you learn and what you already know; note similarities and affinities between the words (for example, “impecunious” and “penury” are both related to “poverty”). This will help you internalize the new words and their definitions.
