Memorize the new words with the context which will help you memorize the words for longer time and much more quickly. Another great way to remember and keep a track of your words is to have a vocabulary note pad at hand. This vocabulary notepad should be with you whenever you are reading in English. Many feel that having a vocabulary notepad with them whilst reading or learning English is a kind of embarrassment, students should absolutely get out of this thinking because there are very few people who speak perfect English and even native people of Western countries who have been speaking English all through their life at times find it difficult to understand and comprehend English.

Taking this saying as the mantra aspirants of GRE should speak English at all times even if it is not their native tongue. Majority of the aspirants who get enrolled into GRE do not have English as their native tongue yet they speak very good English and have a very good command of the language it is because they speak English at all times which increases their confidence level of taking the test with ease and also improves their ability to understand the questions thereby assisting them to obtain good score.
