These videos are amazing. The only detail is the partisan approach. I am not american as well, so I quite don’t get the biased view regarding American politics, especially coming from someone so smart. There is so much more in politics than a superficial view of parties… other than that, best videos available.

[@TheTestedTutor]

Thank you Jean. Can't recall I said anything untrue though?

[@jeanvilbertpereira9233]

@@TheTestedTutor Uh, you kind of lose me a little in these parts. But one interesting point is when you mention that Republicans question polls and that they use this as an excuse. Well, unfortunately, polls were abysmally wrong in the last two American elections. We've been discussing this in class from a technical perspective: what are pollings doing wrong to be so out of the mark? In another video, you commented about the crazy anti-vaccine movement, which, by the way, was particularly prevalent among Democrats when Trump was pushing for the vaccine to be quickly developed. Anyway, it is just something you may consider, after all, I guess you are creating videos to reach as many people as possible... Keep up with your great work!

Some additional tips for learning vocab -- Make up your own sentences using each word. Look up synonyms for the other parts of speech. Use the etymology to break down the word into roots, prefixes, and suffices, and compare them to other words with the same roots and prefixes.

There are many “ high frequency words “ material out there .. but are they ? How many in this list have actually appeared in the GRE ? Respectfully , subscriber

[@TheTestedTutor]

In my opinion there are between 5000-10,000 higher level words that could come up, before it gets too abstruse. Even my whole playlist covers maybe only 2000-3000 unique higher level words total. The key thing is improving your vocabulary, if necessary through repetition. Then GRE performance is a nice bonus. Realistically most students add around 100-500 words before the exam. But they might stay with you for life, even if only 5 come up on the test. These videos focus on the _most_ likely words to help you spend time efficiently. Hope that helps Cardi
