800 GRE Words: Vocabulary Prep

800 GRE Words is a GRE vocabulary app with 822 advanced English words, from abase to zenith, each with a clear definition, an example sentence and similar words.

Learn high-frequency GRE words A to Z or by meaning, then check yourself with 125 practice questions, all offline.

On the GRE General Test, vocabulary counts most in Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence questions and in Reading Comprehension. So this app does more than give dictionary meanings: it shows whether a word is praise or criticism, which words it is often confused with, and how it is used in a real sentence.
