GRE exam
I am preparing for my GRE exam now.
The exam is designed for people who want to apply for a postgraduate degree, which contains three sections, quantitative reasoning part, verbal reasoning part and analytical writing. Although I just began to read the official guide book last week, I found that the mathe part is really easy for me. There are a few questions about algebra, arithmetic, geometry and data analysis in the part, which, however, are just that I learned in middle and high schools. So I can easily solve those problems.
The real challenge for me, a medium level English learner, is the verbal part. There are so many words I don't know and some questions that I even can't understand! I know I have to remember lots of unusual, complicated words that maybe only used in this exam, but the process is really killing me. I found there are so many different words which have the same meaning and so many words that every one contains different meanings. Maybe today I remember 300 new words, however, when tomorrow comes, at least 60% of which will be totally new for me, again! I really want to know if this part is hard or easy for English native speakers and how does other nonnative speakers go through this remembering and forgetting hell.
At last, I know there may be no easy way in the vocabulary problem, so if I want to success in the exam, I should better spend much more time on remembering words.
