    • @jeeyounglee6066
      @jeeyounglee6066  Před 3 lety

      I think making your own vocab list and finding good example sentences are good. What I found really difficult was that some words were not neutral in meaning and they can only be used in certain contexts. For example, when I looked up the word pedantic, I thought it could be used as a compliment(?) but it was actually pretty negative in meaning so look at the example sentences!!

I am a foreign student and I don’t have that much money to spend expensive tutoring. Can explain bit how did go about the studying. Did you study one concept a day and did practice questions.

      I studied for about three months? I read a lot of books so reading itself was not a huge challenge but answering the questions was so l practiced the problems and kind of memorized the types of problems. It wasn’t like I only studied for the gre all day so when I got bored I did other things like read, exercise, go to cafes, youtube etc. I focused mainly on the things I lacked.
