The 700 Difficult GRE English Words is adapted from another list found, 'Difficult Barron's GRE Words,' found here: http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/473935. Many of the definitions, however, have been replaced for the sake of clarity and to minimize redundancy.

Description: 

This english vocabulary set consists primarily of words which are not used in everyday language or speech, but which are surprisingly common in college-level reading or higher. It was compiled into Mnemosyne because I felt that too many of the existing english vocab decks either were too all-encompassing (including words like 'abandon' or 'mattress') and wasted time, or were vocation/situation specific (see: GMAT, Braille decks).

The majority of the card definitions are sourced from dictionary.com. Particularly confusing words have quotes attached alongside them for ease of learning.

Perigree?

This was a truly great deck. I hardly knew any of the words before I started training and now I know all of them ^ ^
One small error: I think "perigree" (when the moon is closest to earth) should be "perigee".
Thank you so much!
