2017 version published on 9/27/16. Need a way to remember that "prodigal" means "wasteful"? Think of "prada gal"—a girl who spends all her money on designer clothes. Welcome to GRE Vocab Capacity, a unique approach to learning GRE vocabulary! Many resources exist for GRE word study, but traditional methods often fail. The issue with most vocabulary products is their dull sentences, which hinder your brain's ability to form connections to word meanings. GRE Vocab Capacity stands out by not only defining words clearly but also crafting memorable sentences with unusual associations using mnemonics. A mnemonic serves as a memory device that links new information to something familiar, enhancing recall. For example, consider "quash" (verb): to completely stop. You might remember it by associating it with "squash." To quash an ant invasion, you squash them, creating a visual and aural link. Similarly, "eschew" (verb): to avoid, can be linked to "ah-choo!" Picture avoiding someone sneezing to strengthen this connection. The more associations you create, the easier it will be to remember new vocabulary.
