Recommended word list?

[Rpxp]

Hi,

I have just started preparation for GRE. Verbal is my weaker area, so I've taken up some dense reading and I'm going through word lists.

The word list that I've used so far is from majortests.com: 500 advanced GRE words.

Is there a particularly good word list that I should invest my time in? What do you make of the one above?

Thanks very much.

P.S. Should I take a mock GRE exam before going any further?

The Barrons 800 words list was very helpful for me, they got a little workbook w sentences and matching things that help you remember the words. I thought I recognized a lot of words from that list on my actual exam too. Good luck.

Thanks.
