GMAT Wordlist - 4507 GMAT Words from GMAT Vocabulary Builder (Super IQ 7 Mind Machine)

Product Description
This book contains all the 4507 words, meanings, and for most words, memorable sentence fragments exactly as used in our powerful Super IQ 7 Mind Machine based GMAT Vocab Builder system (details at www.MindMachineLab.com/gmat.htm).

The words are given in bold (example, the words belabor and buttress below). The meaning is given after the equal sign (=")" following a word. The words are not necessarily in alphabetical order.

We have used the US spellings. The British spelling of a word, when different from the US spelling, is given in bracket after BRITISH as shown for the word belabor below.
USE gives a sentence fragment carefully chosen for memory. When no sentence fragment is given, a * is shown as in the word buttress below.

belabor (BRITISH = belabour) = to assail verbally, to insist repeatedly or harp on
USE = belabor a point
buttress = support
USE = *

There is no vocabulary section on the GMAT, January 17, 2012

There's no real need for vocab building on the GMAT because there are no vocab questions on the test. Though it's important to learn some vocabulary related to critical reasoning (premise, inference, etc.), learning those words is more a function of practicing the question types. You should definitely get the Official Guide to the GMAT (currently in its 12th edition, but the 11th edition has the same questions), and it's usually helpful to get a more structured prep book like those from Manhattan GMAT, Princeton Review, or Kaplan, but this is one test you just don't need flashcards for. Feel free to message me if you have questions about the test.

I purchased kindle version of this book. I realized that it collects too many words that might never appear in GMAT exam. If you have plenty of time, it does not hurt to use this book. However, it will waste your time and efforts in case that you need to spend your time on more important issues.

Hello,

(1) The book gives the relevant words that are required for GMAT because many students don't have the necessary vocabulary, and when they don't know the words, it is impossible to answer the questions that are asked. And if they try to guess the meanings of the words, that doesn't usually work because many of the words are uncommon.

(2) I have very carefully given only 1 or 2 meanings for most words and given short "sentence fragments" that make it possible to remember the words easily. Of course, ideally, the best resource is a big dictionary with up to 5 or 10 or more meanings and as many sentences, but the human mind is not capable of remembering that much. For example, for the word "siren" means "loud alarm in factories of the industrial era", but the exam only asks it to mean "seductress who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices". I have found the most books and guides to totally miss this point that "less is more" because human...Read more
