metamorph Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hi everyone, I took my GRE in November of last year (2015). Late as it was and even after, I found myself keeping certain GRE verbal words in my arsenal. Not for study purpose but just to ... you know flummox and confound a few people (specifically my manager at work). Did you guys do this? Not just for practice purposes. It was so much fun to say stuff like, "Oh did you see that show last night? I thought Miley Cyrus was so infelicitous!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelle_d Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I'm ramping up for another go at the GRE (the old scores expire before I'll be able to use them.) Definitely look for reasons to use the words. Reviewing flashcards in line at the grocery store tonight, "parsimonious" came up right as a man in front me was arguing with the cashier over the price of a gallon of milk. He had the price for the half-gallon. Took all 5 gallons back to switch them out for half-gallons. Never had the literal definition of a word walk past me before. metamorph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, austerity is a good quality! Not sure if I could be "abstemious" though Oh and good luck on your GRE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
another_time Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 This is funny. I didn't study for V, but Q study has definitely filled in a few of holes I probably should have learned in high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
