Peg words are useful for remembering a name given only a number or for memorizing numbered lists of items.

In this peg word tutorial, you'll learn how to memorize numbers by converting them to words which can be pictured and remembered easily. This works well when you want to recall a number given something else.

This is where the peg word system comes in useful. It allows you to recall both a number given a name and a name given a number. The secret is this: Instead of coming up with an arbitrary word for a number, you use a specific word every time. When you want to remember something given only the number, you recall the specific peg word for the number, then proceed to remember what name was associated with the peg word.

In this card collection, I use the phonetic respellings displayed by the letters and symbols on computers instead of the very popular International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).

Reductions are common in natural speech. Written reduced forms in advertisements, songs, and personal writing reflect natural spoken language.

They are not standard written English, and they are usually used by native speakers of English during their everyday conversations.

This card helps you review the golden principles of Dale Carnegie from "How to Win Friends and Influence People", which has influenced the world for many decades.

Learning to relate to people in the ways Carnegie instructs in this self-help book will help you personally as well as professionally.

Those principles are a classic because Carnegie teaches timeless truths in timeless ways.

These cards include all the words,meanings and example sentences in the barrons GRE book. I made this database off a PDF I found somewhere. There are some typos here and there but no major typos.

I strongly advise you to delete any words which you already know from before so that you don't waste time on them.

All the best for your preparation, I hope you get a good GRE score :)
