Word List with Synonyms, Antonyms and Usage sentence

There is another word list in my collection that I want to share with all test takers. This is a really good one for the following reasons

  • I have randomize these words
  • Its compact and thus contains high frequency words only
  • Most of the words have synonyms, antonyms and a usage sentence.
The last point, which is the focus of this word list is very important. Antonyms are actually part of GRE verbal test, so you may come across these antonyms in an actual test. Sentences are must to understand how the word is going to be used. Many words are similar but they can not be substituted with another appropriate word, thus a sentence tells you a context where it can be used. I usually remember and recall the meaning of unknown words from the sentence that I have gone through, and have some how stick to my mind. Thus, I hope this word list will help you on your SAT, GRE and GMAT tests.



Randomize Wordlist for SAT/GRE/GMAT

In my last post, I added a High Frequency word list to help you prepare for your GRE, GMAT, or SAT exams. Sometimes its more usefull to have a randomize word list. Many experts says that when you study word list arranged in dictionary order you tend to rem member them with its context and when its time to recall familiar and studied words in actual exam, which appear in random order, you are dumbfounded.

So, its good to have an alphabetical listing, its more appropriate to study randomize words. Therefore, I thought it would be nice to randomize words for you. You can get these randomize words, which are essentially from the sequential list I posted earlier, from here


In my opinion, you should study from randomize word list, so if you are short of time for preparation you have done words not only from initial alphabets but random words from the whole.
