WordBot

by AdmitEDGE

This app has been specifically developed keeping in mind

(a) The manner in which one needs to learn words in order to crack the Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence question of the revised GRE
(b) The difficulties faced by the test taker in developing such a vocabulary.The list is long - but here are the key ones-

- I find it difficult to remember the words,
- I find it boring to passively memorize words like a automaton
- How do I learn to apply the word?
- How do I learn the nuances?
- I want an app to learn and revise on the move.

Sounds familiar? Well, we have developed the WordBot precisely to address these issues and leveraged on our experience on successfully training 30000+ students for GRE till date.

The new pattern of the GRE, it is not sufficient to just know the meaning of the word, it is also equally important
(a) to know the contextual usage of the word
(b) know very accurately how a word differs from another word with near similar meaning.

Example in which context to use seclusion and in which ones to use reclusive.

The vocabulary test in the Wordbot are based on application of the word in sentences.

In addition to the definition and contextual usage of the focus word, the flashcard of the word also provides a list of synonyms of the word. This helps you to learn the nuances of each word - something that will be of great benefit to you when you solve the Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence question type in GRE.

As you learn, revise and take tests,the WordBot keeps a track of all your activities and determines your mastery over every word.

It also keeps a track of the words that you have not visited for a long time or not learn't at all.

The WordBot then creates different wordlists and makes it easy for you to track your progress.

• Red List - the list of words that you found most difficult
• Grey List - where your mastery is not firm
• Refresh list - words that you have not revised for a very long time.
• Star list - the list of words that you bookmarked.

Yes, the flashcard for each word comes with a mnemonic image and the audio of its pronunciation to make it easy for you to remember the word.

What's more? You need not memorize in a passive manner. Take the interactive and thought provoking Vocabulary Tests on the words that you have learned.

Make your vocabulary building an active process.

As you learn, revise and take the interactive tests, the WordBot keeps a tab on the number of clues you avail to remember a word or to answer a question on the word.

Based on this, the WordBot determines your mastery on the word. You might have completely mastered the word, or partially mastered it (the word goes to the Grey List) or not mastered the word at all, in which case the word goes to the Red List.

WordBot thus created such personalized Wordlists and accelerated your word acquisition and mastery.

It is better to learn the words from the perspective of their importance with respect to GRE, rather than learning alphabetically.
The sentences in GRE questions(TC, SE) are typically pulled out of argumentative essays. So certain words are typical to such sentences/passages. Such words are identified and thoughtfully arranged as Wordlists in the order of importance.
The 500 words that you should know for sure are in Wordlists 21-25 in the Must Know Wordlist. (each WL has 100 words). The words have also been arranged in the increasing order of difficulty making it easy to learn and master.
Following this, you should move on the next set of 500 words in the Essential Wordlist. These are Wordlists 26-30. After this, you can complete Advanced Wordlists (from wordlist 1-7).
You can also learn words based on themes. We have classified words by themes (such as nature, behaviors, personalities) too. Learning related words that have common themes helps you learn the nuances better. In this case, you can start with themes that interest you the most, master words rapidly, and boost your confidence.

Elementary Watson! WordBot gives you a Usage Report which makes it very easy to get all the information about you progress in GRE vocabulary building.

You can also reset all your learning, revision and test data and start all over again.
