People confounded by the overwhelming difficulty on memorizing the new GRE words, normally don’t catch the spirit of the test -- measuring the the skill in efficiently deriving information from the academical essays and concisely and poignantly expressing ideas in analytical writing. The quantities of vocabulary, though important, is not the the objective of this test, disparate from normal language level test. Many educational materials just collect of many trivial words that is almost irrelevant on this subject.
