Test your GRE vocabulary with a free 10-question quiz drawn from the 1,000 highest-frequency GRE words. Read the word, pick the best definition, and get instant feedback with an example sentence. Active recall like this is what makes words stick for Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence.
The GRE dropped standalone antonyms and analogies years ago, but vocabulary never left — it just moved. Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence questions are entirely vocabulary-driven: you can’t choose the right word for a blank if you don’t know what the choices mean. Building a strong, higher-register vocabulary remains one of the highest-leverage ways to raise your GRE Verbal score.
Short, frequent sessions beat long crams — 15 minutes a day is plenty. Quiz yourself with active recall (like the drill above) rather than just re-reading a list, always read the example sentence to learn the word in context, and revisit the words you miss until they’re automatic.
