Hi philip, I referred your quants videos for my gre, today I got my acceptance letter from UC San Diego, thank you for making these tutorials. Thank you once again for the help :)
I love listening to your videos when I work. I also listen to audiobooks. I took your advice and I wrote down words that I didn’t know or I thought would be useful to know. I think all these words are from the audiobook “Wuthering Heights”...there’s a chance these might be from Great Expectations or other period pieces but: vociferate beseech convalescent munificent dearth pertness fastidious gentry countenance divested eschewed covetetness abjured sauntered impertinent belie/bely approbation blaggard baseness acquiesced ignominious derision leverette despondent compunction expostulation sovereign invalid (noun) lavish slovenly doleful indignation fastoons pining (punishment) epistle alacrity slavish insipid Appalachian convalescence petulancy upbraid saunter extricate mearth intimating sunder supplicate entreaties pettishness delude pertinacious emulate egnimatical abject attenuated magnanimity prostrate poultry begile saturnine demurely faculties recapitulation magistrate zucker reproved rankle peremptory sanguine trepidation ignoble wayfaced languid I might not have written down a lot of these words correctly...like epistle, I wrote down as “episal” And wuthering heights isn’t the happiness of books lol A lot of other GRE words I find in other books and the play Hamilton (by Lin Manual Miranda)!
Incredible Stephanie. At this rate, your vocab will overtake mine! This is so lovely to hear. I am listening to a Twain audio book currently, Innocents Abroad.
Man I learn so much from your videos, and sorry to get weird, but I’ve been in a bible study for a couple of years and it’s been really interesting, so almost all of these words take me to the bible loll. But the word nuance really got me! I thought it just meant a small detail, I didn’t realize it meant that something could be deeper than it seems at first inspection. That’s exactly the bible! My sentence would be, churches believe they’re teaching the truth of bible, however, the bible is full of nuances that keep them from doing so. Thanks for explaining so well! That’s a great word!
@@TheTestedTutor thanks, I have mine in 15 days too, I am little scared.. I have been referring you videos and since long. Hopefully I will be able to get the desired score🙌
Thank you so much. You have so many vocabulary videos. But I see you have done only 1 video of magoosh vocab. Do you think going through all your vocab videos would cover magoosh vocab as well?
Hmmm, that’s a good question. I’ve been doing the Magoosh app for a while before finding these videos and there is some overlap, but still a lot of words I learn here that I didn’t learn there and vice versa. Additionally, I have a GRE book that has a lot of words I’ve seen from these videos and magoosh and even another edcuational app I have (elevate), but still, also a lot of new words. I think the problem is, there’s just so many words that it’s hard to tell what the best source is. In that way, they’re all the best source. I really don’t know though lol, just wanted to share my experience. For me though, these videos are the best because they not only give me the experience of reading the definition, but hearing it as well. For me, sentences get stuck in my head really easily, so hearing the words in a sentence really helps me. Also he gives lots of synonyms and mnemonics! But everyone’s different.
Great video and vocabulary list. However can you make the words themselves rather than the definitions stay longer on the screen. This way it's easier to recall the spelling and recognize it on the test. I'm not great with spellings and some words sound alike but have different meanings, so reading the definition and not the word word only confuse.
