Test your GRE Vocabulary Knowledge - GRE Vocabulary Test Part 9

[@ipponyc]

You have no idea how helpful these videos are!! I had exactly 1 month to prepare so that I can get into Albany. I watched a playlist with all your videos with helpful tips. My score: Verbal Reasoning 162 Quantitative Reasoning 165 Analytical Writing 5 out 6 I got accepted to the Ph.D. program at the University at Albany. I took this test at Pearl Street in Manhattan with construction noise in the background and a faulty computer, which I could not change. I probably would have scored higher. Thank you, you are awesome!!!!

"I am going to use some of these words in my essay" - Every GRE student ever So true

[@xenovialara5028]

26/30 circumspect=wary, boorish=coarse , tact= consideration , felicitious=appropriate

[@xoxixo2651]

one thing super minor... when "brook" is used as a verb, is it usually only in a negative sentence. So more like: I will NOT brook this approach so l will look for an alternative one. Thank you Greg! I've benefit so much from you classes and really enjoy them

[@soujanyavankudothu4510]

Eagerly waiting for more videos on vocabulary

[@josemariagomezsocola6246]

I am going to use some of these words in my essay" - Every GRE student ever lol

[@mahinerphan3818]

29/30. The only word in which I made mistake was haphazard(25). Isn't hit-or-miss a direct synonym of haphazard? Even though in this sentence unsystematic is more felicitous.

[@applepeel1662]

Not really, unsystematic is the direct definition of haphazard. Hit or miss is a trick option

[@minhphunguyen9135]

Love your teaching

[@abhisribajoria675]

Love these sessions, thanks Greg! Could you please explain the difference between overcame and surpassed. Also the similarity between plethora and host.

[@namanmehta3096]

I am not an expert!! overcame could mean overcame a challenge, problem or situation(feelings). You could also overcome an opponent as in defeat ones' opponent(says Google). Surpassed could be going beyond the limits, or going beyond previously set limits. You can overcome a challenge, you cannot surpass a challenge. you can surpass targets/milestones, you cannot overcome targets. Plethora and host don't sound similar to me. Plethora is excess, plenty, abundance. Host could be one who addresses the audience, host could be animal/plant where parasite lives (you can also host a website)

[@namanmehta3096]

well, there's another meaning of host which is large number of people/things, probably something close to gathering or assembly. Plethora and host seem to have a common meaning i.e. large amount of something.

The movies with the faction named 'Erudite' was the Divergent trilogy.

[@bucii01]

Great videos!!!

[@tanxeemmansur]

Sir .I want to ask you about the latest difficulty level of the quant section? from a gre study group on Facebook I got the news that recently ETS raised the difficulty level of the quant section, please enlighten us on this. Regards

[@gregmat8036]

Even if the difficulty level was raised, that should not dramatically alter your score. The way these tests work is they rank people from low to high. So if the quantitative section is more difficult, that means it is more difficult for everyone. In the end, your ranking should be about the same.

[@frank4984]

Hey Greg, your latest video (which I was halfway through watching) somehow isn't available anymore. Not sure if you purposely removed it or not, just letting you know in case you weren't aware since it has happened twice now! Cheers

[@gregmat8036]

Yeah, I need to check something

[@jungsoon7252ify]

@@gregmat8036 yes. it was reading strategy 2 and sentence completion 2 video. I guess

[@virajkadam2401]

Greg Mat please re-upload those videos I have my exam after 20 days. your videos are helping me with all the troubles.

[@surakshyaneupane5655]

25. hit-or-miss also means haphazard. isn't it?

[@cherylromig3412]

yes, it is the case of BEST answer instead of right answer

[@rabiulhasan469]

Hello, I badly need a gre book which has include example. Thank you! please suggest me a book.

[@gregmat8036]

What do you mean a book with examples?

[@iDenyTalent]

noob

[@novan0064]

Greg , he was asking u about book with lots of varied forms of math so it could b helpful for practice and verbal book with various cases of exemplars for getting a great score rather than a good one.

[@Tientran01]

Thanks Greg for the video. Just a small question, number 13, why is audacious incorrect, i see its synonyms as rude as in your vocabulary in details.

[@AndriaGibbs]

I believe audacious means bold; lacking respect whereas coarse means rough; or bad-mannered. Coarse is the better option out of the two.

[@namankothari8390]

audacious also means impertinent which is rude so isn't it as good an answer as coarse for boorish?

[@applepeel1662]

Audacious is not a direct synonym of boorish. Boorish means churlish or using insults while talking to someone, it's more specific than rude. Also audacious doesn't just mean rude it also means something thats extremely bold. Important to note that the meanings of a lot of words bleed into eachother, but you've to be more precise with your definition. Rude is a blanket expression
