“Is The GRE Exam Really Just an IQ Test In Disguise?”

Article By: Marc Slater - E-Learning Expert and Director of eReflect Learning Solutions

If you'd like to learn about the single biggest weakness in the GRE Exam... what it has to do with vocabulary, and how knowing it can mean the difference between success and failure in the GRE... this is going to be the most interesting article you will ever read.

Here is why: The GRE has a "g-factor" that is equal to that of most IQ
tests (1). And if you didn't know this then you are currently overlooking the most important aspect of the GRE exam.

The g-factor or "general factor" is a measurement of the extent to which you can prepare for a test (2). In other words, it's the extent to which the test examines your ability as opposed to "how much you know". Yes, the way the GRE works is extremely similar to an IQ test.

How to beat g-loaded tests such as the GRE

The good news is that there is a surprisingly easy way to boost your score on g-loaded tests. It is easy to do this with the GRE and even IQ tests. The reason that this is possible comes down to one simple fact:

"Vocabulary is the strongest known indicator of intelligence and ability"

The main factor that makes humans different from other animals is our capacity for language (4). Verbal ability, most notably vocabulary, is the strongest indicator of intelligence. For this reason, almost ALL g-loaded exams test vocabulary extensively, and the GRE is no exception.

The most effective way to boost your score in a g-loaded exam like the GRE is to boost your vocabulary specifically for that exam.

How to boost your vocabulary specifically for the GRE

As I have just shown you, the best way to beat a g-loaded test like the GRE is to improve your vocabulary SPECIFICALLY for that test. Any improvement to your vocabulary will give you a huge benefit. However, you can be 10-100 times more efficient if you take advantage of two secrets:

1. The GRE tends to repeat itself in the vocabulary words it tests
   
   

2. By predicting what words the GRE will test you on, and learning those words, it is possible to "outsmart" the GRE's assumption that it can test your ability by measuring your vocabulary.

But can you learn the words in time?

Some candidates will find word lists or flash cards on the Internet. But unfortunately these rarely help. Such word lists are often incomplete, or, even worse, completely inaccurate, but even this isn't the main problem.

The main problem with these lists is that you simply won't learn the words fast enough. The reason is that flash cards (or word lists) alone only use a single learning strategy called "repetition". Repetition, when combined with other learning strategies, can be effective. However, with repetition alone, you will only learn at about 10% of your maximum speed.

Flash cards are better than nothing, but using flash cards alone (i.e. repetition only), you will only learn words at about 10% of the speed you could using other techniques.

The problem is that the average adult only learns words at a rate of about 50 per year. In order to beat the GRE you will need to learn words at a much faster rate.

That's why we created Ultimate Vocabulary for the GRE test

But now, let's talk about something truly exciting. Imagine there was an advanced software program that could teach you the exact words you need to boost your GRE score. Plus, it employed seven proven learning strategies that allowed you to learn words at 10-100 times the normal speed. And, it could act as your personal tutor, guiding you step-by-step through progressive levels of difficulty, keeping track of which words you have mastered and customizing your learning appropriately.

Sounds like a dream, doesn't it? Well, at eReflect Software, we have put in the hard work and research to make the dream come true. Here is what we did:

1. GRE experts selected the ultimate set of 2029 score boosting GRE words. These are the words that "uncannily" appear on one GRE exam after the next. They are the words that smart academic people are more likely to know and that the GRE must use in order to assess ability.
   
   

2. We created special software that uses 7 different learning strategies to help you learn the words at an almost super-human speed.
   
   

3. We gave our software the ability to act as your "personal tutor", remembering which words you have mastered and guiding you step-by-step through progressive levels of difficulty.

"Make your learning 10-100 times more efficient as you zoom in on our authoritative list of GRE score-boosting words"

Accelerate your learning by focusing on words especially selected to boost your GRE score.

The words were compiled by ACTUAL GRE test experts, who thoroughly researched every word and definition based on thousands of past GRE questions.

Problem: You can't possibly hope to master a vocabulary word by reading four examples and a definition.

Until now, vocabulary software has failed to deliver because even the most expensive programs only gave you a four examples/tips, a definition, and some synonyms (if you were lucky).

You ended up with a shallow understanding of words and no idea how to use them in the real world.

Solution: Word Discover^TM gives you 50 usage examples, word history, visual word explorer, encyclopedia information, images, and much more, for every word...

Why Word Discover^TM works

Research shows that the more information you have on a word, the better you will use and understand it, and the longer you will remember it. Scientists call this "the level of elaboration". Studies show that this can improve your memory of words by 670%.

Word Discover technology automatically scours thousands of local and online resources and displays the information right there in your word list. Having this breakthrough technology will ensure:

• You will have complete confidence with every word you learn

• You will sound articulate and well-educated

• People will stand up and pay attention when you talk

• You will never forget the words you learn

• You can SEE words, learn about them, and immerse yourself in them

• Most importantly, you will get better results faster

When you start using Ultimate Vocabulary today, you will have access to seven proven learning strategies that will help you learn your score-boosting words and 10-100 times the normal speed.

"Speed learning by 670% with elaboration"

Elaboration can speed your learning by up to 670%. Ultimate vocabulary makes use of elaboration in many ways:

Above: Comlete exercises and deepen your understanding of GRE words

Your recognition will be tested using definitions, words, synonyms, and antonyms. This will accelerate your learning to almost super human speeds that you could never get from flash cards alone. Why? Because the use of multiple learning strategies will dramatically improve the speed of your learning.

"Prepare yourself for the GRE with word reproduction and recall"

Often in the GRE you will be required to recall a word based on a meaning or some other information that has been provided. Ultimate Vocabulary prepares you for this by continually asking you to recall words based on the definition.

"Keep learning GRE words, even when you are doing other things with passive reminding"

Ultimate Vocabulary will continually remind you of words as you work. You will find yourself learning many words this way with little or no effort!
