i'm taking the GRE in november (more on that later) and i'm studying some vocabulary in an attempt to get as good a score as possible. the vocabulary is ridiculous, though - i consider myself to have a pretty large vocabulary and i've never even heard of some of these words. ugh. but i'll play the game - i'll learn some words - if it helps me get a higher score.
as i learn definitions i take the index cards out of my stack, but these four words have been in my pile for a couple weeks and i can't seem to get them. can anyone think of some tips and tricks to help me remember them?
irascible: easily made angry
assiduous: showing great care and perseverance
sycophantic: attempting to win favor from influential people by flattery
pertinacious: holding firm to an opinion
thankyouverymuch.
