Conquering Vocab utilizes research in the cognitive sciences to provide the GRE-test-taker with the most efficient and effective way to learn vocabulary. This method involves reading hundreds of vocabulary words in absurd, but humorous contexts within one dozen short stories. Each short story provides brief, easy-to-understand definitions corresponding to every targeted GRE word bolded within the story. Conquering Vocab is unlike any other GRE book in that memorization, and allotting a significant amount of time to study, is simply not necessary.
