Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great idea but poor definitions
As others have written in, while the cards cover most of the frequently used GRE vocab words and are an extremely helpful way to study, be wary of the some of the definitions. Kaplan doesn't always provide the best definitions or example sentences. They often define the word as a verb and then use it as an adjective in a sentence, for example. In addition, they often don't provide all of the possible definitions, and it's the secondary definitions that get you on the GRE. The card design is extremely ... Read More
Rating:  - Good words, but TERRIBLE definitions
Embarrassing quality from Kaplan. The words they have chosen may be appropriate and certainly seem like "GRE Words", however, the word choice, sentence examples, and even the definitions are terrible. Did they even have an English instructor take a look at them?

Rating:  - If you use them your vocabulary will grow
This product has helped my vocabulary expand. You do need to use them to see the difference. I have not taken the GRE yet, but I do know I will be going into the test with a more developed vocabulary.

Rating:  - Focus Your Time Elsewhere
I purchased these cards in an attempt to build my vocabulary for the GRE.However, they proved to be pointless.I took the time and the effort to memorize all the words, as well as the synonyms for each word.When I took the GRE practice tests from Kaplan, the words showed up, I knew the answers, and I did well.When it came time to take the GRE however, only one word from the entire box showed up, and I ended up guessing on majority of the questions.Needless to say, I did not do well.While these ...
