Description

Book Synopsis: 2017 version published on 9/27/16. Need a good way to remember that the word "prodigal" means "wasteful"? Just think of "prada gal" - a girl who spends all of her money on designer clothes. Welcome to GRE Vocab Capacity - a better way to learn GRE vocabulary!

Why This Book Is Different

There are tons of books, apps, and websites designed to help you learn GRE words. However, if you’ve tried typical vocabulary study methods, then they might not have worked very well for you.

The problem with most vocabulary products is that the sentences in the books are boring! Your brain might not naturally form connections to the meanings of words if they’re not presented to you in a memorable, creative way.

GRE Vocab Capacity is different. We’ve not only clearly defined the words but we’ve also created sentences designed to help you remember the words through a variety of unusual associations - using mnemonics.

Mnemonic Examples

A mnemonic is just a memory device. It works by creating a link in your brain to something else, so that recall of one thing helps recall of the other. This can be done in many ways – but the strongest links are through senses, emotions, rhymes, and patterns.

Consider this example:

Quash (verb): to completely stop from happening.

Think: squash.

The best way to quash an invasion of ants in your kitchen is simple: squash them.

Now your brain has a link from the word quash (which it may not have known) to the word squash (which it probably knows). Both words sound and look the same, so it’s easy to create a visual and aural link. If you picture someone squashing ants (and maybe get grossed out), you also have another visual link and an emotional link.

Here’s another example:

Eschew (verb): to avoid.

Think: ah-choo!

Eschew people who say "ah-choo!" unless you want to catch their colds.

The word eschew sounds similar to a sneeze (ah-choo!), so your brain will now link the two sounds. If you picture yourself avoiding someone who is about to sneeze in your face, even better! Again, the more connections you make in your brain to the new word, the easier it will be for you to recall it.

Details

Are you struggling to remember GRE vocabulary? Look no further! Introducing GRE Vocab Capacity: 2017 Edition - a comprehensive book filled with over 1300 powerful memory tricks and mnemonics. This updated version, published on September 27, 2016, is the ultimate tool to help you ace the GRE exam.

What sets this book apart from others? Unlike traditional vocabulary study methods, GRE Vocab Capacity presents words in a memorable and creative way. Say goodbye to boring sentences that don't stick in your mind. Our book combines clear definitions with sentences designed to help you remember the meanings through unusual associations and clever mnemonics.

Let's take the word "prodigal" as an example. Have trouble recalling that it means "wasteful"? Just think of "prada gal" - a girl who spends all her money on designer clothes. With our unique approach, you'll effortlessly link the word prodigal to the image of a shopaholic splurging on luxury brands.

Mnemonics play a crucial role in our memory retention. A mnemonic is a memory device that bridges the gap between new words and existing knowledge. It strengthens the connections in your brain and aids in recall. For instance, consider the word "quash" - meaning to completely stop from happening. Visualize squashing ants to quash an invasion in your kitchen. By linking the word quash to the action of squashing, you create a strong visual and emotional association that will stay with you.

Another example is the word "eschew" - to avoid. Think of "ah-choo!" like a sneeze. Visualize yourself stepping away from someone about to sneeze in your face. The similarity between the word eschew and the sound of a sneeze strengthens the connection in your brain, making it easier to retrieve the word when needed.

With GRE Vocab Capacity, you'll develop a vast arsenal of memory tricks and mnemonics for over 1300 GRE words. Our unique approach will revolutionize the way you learn, making it easier and more enjoyable than ever before. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to boost your vocabulary and dominate the GRE exam. Take the first step towards success today!
