Of course, there are no magic bolts (that I know of) which enable you to instantly memorize GRE vocab words. But every GRE student does face a similar dilemma: is it better to memorize more words sloppily or fewer words with greater precision? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If I had a choice like the one above, I\u2019d choose option #1, hands-down. In my opinion, 500 really solid definitions are a lot more useful than 1000 tenuous definitions. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why? Because the people who make the GRE Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence questions deliberately test you on the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nuances<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of definitions. A half-definition is usually more dangerous than no definition at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>I. What You Don\u2019t Know Can Hurt You (But What You Halfway Know Can Hurt You Worse)<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a little quiz. Pause for a second, stop reading the article, and write down the clearest definitions of these GRE vocab words you\u2019re able to conjure. If you don\u2019t have paper around\u2026 at least state a definition to yourself and try to remember the terms you used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11244\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/01\/ta-6-image-1.png\" alt=\"Manhattan Prep GRE Blog - The Perils of Half-Remembered GRE Vocab Words by Tom Anderson\" width=\"629\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/01\/ta-6-image-1.png 629w, https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/01\/ta-6-image-1-300x136.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 629px) 100vw, 629px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now compare your results with these, taken from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?safe=strict&#038;rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS696US696&#038;q=Dictionary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Dictionary<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The accuracy of a definition is not a matter of black-and-white or right-or-wrong. Think of yours falling somewhere on a spectrum of accuracy. Where did they fall? Mostly accurate? Halfway there? Totally unknown?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11245\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/01\/ta-6-image-2.png\" alt=\"Manhattan Prep GRE Blog - The Perils of Half-Remembered GRE Vocab Words by Tom Anderson\" width=\"719\" height=\"179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/01\/ta-6-image-2.png 719w, https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/01\/ta-6-image-2-300x75.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 719px) 100vw, 719px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is most definitely a good practice to push as many GRE vocab words as possible toward the green end of this spectrum. If you can use a word fluently, then you\u2019ll likely know whether or not it fits a given fill-in-the-blank question. That said, we all have limited time and resources. Inevitably, many of the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.slate.com\/articles\/life\/the_good_word\/2006\/04\/word_count.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">~1,000,000 words that make up the English language<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will elude us. You don\u2019t need to memorize all of the words and you don\u2019t need to get all of them to the point of perfection. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In your vocabulary memorization practice, though, you should not let words sit in the \u201cred zone\u201d outlined above. <\/span><b>Words partly known are often more harmful than words you don\u2019t know at all.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To illustrate, look at the results of a couple of \u201cstudents\u201d doing the same little exercise you just did. We\u2019ve got Beauregard&#8217;s and Antoine\u2019s answers to the same little mini-quiz listed below:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11246\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/01\/ta-6-image-3.png\" alt=\"Manhattan Prep GRE Blog - The Perils of Half-Remembered GRE Vocab Words by Tom Anderson\" width=\"609\" height=\"137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/01\/ta-6-image-3.png 609w, https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/01\/ta-6-image-3-300x67.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 609px) 100vw, 609px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might be tempting to think that Beauregard has a slight edge on his GRE exam, but I\u2019d argue that his answers are much more problematic than Antoine\u2019s. Admitting you don\u2019t know is much better than faking it. Beauregard scribbled out some half-answers and complete guesses; in the process, he whipped up some truly nebulous concoctions: fragments of connotations swirled into a cocktail of forgotten contexts and misremembered details. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such half-remembered definitions are more likely to be harmful to your GRE Verbal score. Here are a few reasons why:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1) Connotations matter: The GRE loves to test you on the nuances of words. Especially in Sentence Equivalence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2) Denotations matter: The GRE loves to test you on precise definitions\u2014and it often tests you on less-common second and third definitions too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3) Context matters: The GRE also loves to test you on the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">idiomatic usage<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of words. Practice the \u201ccorrect\u201d use of those words in context.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4) Finally, and most importantly, GRE vocab words you don\u2019t know at all can become strategic wildcards. It\u2019s tempting to choose a word you half-know by \u201cforcing\u201d it to fit the blank in the sentence. If you admit that you don\u2019t know, you won\u2019t be lulled into picking a half-known word that you\u2019re more comfortable with.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>II. Embrace the Wildcard<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GRE vocab words you don\u2019t know become strategic wildcards. Consider, for example, this mockup of a Text Completion question:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a long day of toilsome labor in the fields, the farmer\u2019s energy level deteriorated and she felt quite ________________.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11247\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/01\/ta-6-image-4.png\" alt=\"Manhattan Prep GRE Blog - The Perils of Half-Remembered GRE Vocab Words by Tom Anderson\" width=\"132\" height=\"113\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah, I know, that last word is in Chinese. And no, of course that won\u2019t happen on the real exam, but humor me for a minute. Even though one word is in Chinese, I bet you can still get this question correct. Do any of the other words fit?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working a long day in the fields does not usually make one excited or purple. Maybe you could make a case for sad, but there is no direct link to what the sentence is talking about. And the same goes for \u201cangry.\u201d There is no direct clue for any of those words in the sentence. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what\u2019s the right answer? Lei. It\u2019s Chinese for \u201ctired.\u201d That\u2019s a perfect fit for this sentence. Obviously you\u2019d never be put in this position on the real exam\u2014they don\u2019t include other languages in the answer choices. Similar situations do arise on the GRE, though. Despite memorizing hundreds of GRE vocab words, you\u2019ll likely encounter a few that you don\u2019t know on the real exam. When you have a breakdown like this\u2026 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11248\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/01\/ta-6-image-5.png\" alt=\"Manhattan Prep GRE Blog - The Perils of Half-Remembered GRE Vocab Words by Tom Anderson\" width=\"232\" height=\"107\" \/><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2026pick the one you don\u2019t know.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you treat the unknown GRE vocab words like strategic \u201cwildcards,\u201d you\u2019re still in a really good spot to get the questions correct. Pick the wildcard if you have no other word that makes a good fit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note that this only works if you admit what you don\u2019t know. If, instead, you were in a situation like this\u2026 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a long day of toilsome labor in the fields, the farmer\u2019s energy level deteriorated and she felt quite ________________.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11249\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/01\/ta-6-image-6.png\" alt=\"Manhattan Prep GRE Blog - The Perils of Half-Remembered GRE Vocab Words by Tom Anderson\" width=\"185\" height=\"180\" \/><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2026it would be much harder to make an accurate guess. Even if the right word is still choice E, you\u2019d be lost in a sea of half-definitions, tempted to pick something that sorta-kinda seemed like it should fit. And on the GRE, something that \u201cseems right\u201d usually results in wrong answers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>III. Bringing It Back to Reality<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve journeyed down a few hypothetical rabbit holes in this blog entry, so let\u2019s bring it back to the actual test. Here\u2019s a question from the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gre\/store\/official-guides-for-gre\/official-guide-gre-revised-general-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Official Guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s actually the \u201chardest\u201d question in the entire book\u2014only 10 percent of students got it correct when it was live on the real GRE exam. I bet that if you admit when you don\u2019t know the meanings of words, you\u2019ll have a pretty good shot of getting it right. Even if you\u2019re able to eliminate one obviously wrong answer, your guessing odds will be significantly better than the percent of students who got it right when it was an actual test question. The key will lie in not letting yourself get lured in by a half-known word.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/01\/ta-6-image-7.png\" alt=\"Manhattan Prep GRE Blog - The Perils of Half-Remembered GRE Vocab Words by Tom Anderson\" width=\"504\" height=\"381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/01\/ta-6-image-7.png 504w, https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gre\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2018\/01\/ta-6-image-7-300x227.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 504px) 100vw, 504px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I bet you know the word \u201cirrelevant.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may know the word \u201cfrivolous\u201d too. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t try to answer the question based on half-knowledge of the other words.
