GRE WORD LIST | 100 WORDS TO ACE THE GRE VOCABULARY IN 2026
How important is vocabulary to the GRE? Can you get a 320 + GRE to score on the GRE if your vocabulary is not vast? There are lots of myths about the relationship between a student’s vocabulary and their GRE score.
The GRE is scored on a scale of 260 to 340 and one can score a maximum of 80 points. Of these, 40 points are for Quantitative Reasoning, for which you do not need vocabulary skills. Further, of the 40 points in Verbal Reasoning 20 points are assigned to Reading Comprehension questions which focus more on reading and argument analysis. The remaining 20 points of the Verbal Reasoning section come from Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence questions. Approximately half of these questions are focused on advanced vocabulary.
As you can see above, if you concentrate on your Math section, as well as your reading and reasoning skills, you can get 70 of the available 80 points quite comfortably, and thereby, get 330 out of 340 even with an average vocabulary. Students, however, make the mistake of devoting more than 50% of their GRE prep time to learning new words. If you think you need to enhance your vocabulary, then you need to do it in a less time-consuming manner.
The Jamboree Vocabulary Method is the most efficient way to learn and revise the high-frequency GRE words. We have collated approximately 1800 words that appear most frequently in the GRE. These 1800 words are split into 14 Word Lists. The words in each list are divided into groups with similar meanings. There are about 325 such groups. So, instead of learning individual meanings of the 1800 words, you will learn only 325 meanings..
I highly recommend Jamboree Indiranagar for GMAT training. I really liked the tricks and strategies the faculties teach us to solve math and verbal in simplest way. One of the best center for GMAT Classes.

I had an awesome experience at Jamboree Gurgaon Center for my GMAT preparation. The teachers were really very helpful and the amount of personal attention they give to each student is really commendable. I was able to score 710 on GMAT, all thanks to the faculty. The verbal faculty, Aakansha Mam, made the class lectures very interesting and always gave valuable inputs on how to tackle the questions in the real exam. She always used be in touch with every student even after post-class and guided students at every step of preparation. Maths faculty, Mani Sir, covered the course very nicely and he knew exactly what kind of questions usually come up in GMAT and taught accordingly. Not even a single day was boring in his class. It was really amazing to study at Jamboree. I would recommend anyone looking to prepare for GMAT to give it a shot. I am sure you won't be disappointed.

I had written my GMAT once and got 710, a much above average score by normal standards, but short of my requirement to get into my dream b-school. The journey of every 10 marks beyond 700 is arduous, and to tread on the same I turned to Jamboree Chandigarh. My first interaction with Ajay Sir itself was so informative. I quickly signed up for the classroom program and began with my preparations. Teaching is top notch, setting the right tone and temperament to write the exam. Topics covered in the classes are all encompassing and comprehensive. Interactive doubt sessions are really helpful and teachers were so approachable and guided me throughout with scheduling, identifying my weak areas and recommending course of action for the same. The Jamboree Study material is one of the best I have seen. It covers all levels and following the same was a critical factor in my success. The library at Jamboree Chandigarh is one of its best features. It is well stocked and provided a nearly perfect environment for me to study. Mock tests are available in ample and helped me gauge my improvement over time. All these and my efforts bore fruit and I scored 740 in my second attempt. I am much more confident of securing admission in one of my dream schools and I only have Jamboree Chandigarh to thank for that.

I had taken the Admission counseling services. I was assigned to Ms. Sowmya as my counselor very helpful in assisting and reviewing my applications, from shortlisting the colleges to answering all my doubts about the process. Mr. Ankit, the editor who was very helpful in drafting my essay's and LOR's according to the universities and course requirements. All in all the services provided by Jamboree for Admission's counseling is very efficient, they maintain professionalism and due to which I was able to secure an admit to one of my dream colleges and am currently waiting on other colleges that I am confident I will get, thanks to Jamboree's help. I would highly recommend that those interested in higher education abroad and are unsure of the process to apply to approach Jamboree and avail their counseling services so as to get the best chance of realizing their goals.
