GRE Vocabulary Flashcards for Android

Magoosh has really helped me study for the GRE. I highly recommend using their study program. The Flashcards allow you learn basic, common, and advanced vocabulary via Flashcards style. It’s a lot, but you can do it!

Highly recommend Magoosh to anyone preparing for the GRE: their material is very closely aligned with the available GTS practice materials and their team will go above and beyond to help you get where you need to be for grad school applications- even including working with your financial situation to afford their plans (speaking from personal experience)! They’re second to none

Came highly rated online, and it was a great study tool if you have a short turnaround on the test. Went up 1 point on the verbal within a week!

I am so appreciative of this app but like other reviewers, it is frustrating to use. I would love the feature of having a list of only the words I don’t know…similarly, if I don’t know a word once, showing it to me twenty more times precludes me from getting to other words. I think this is a large flaw in the design.

This flashcard app isn’t bad, but it definitely could do with some commonsense improvements. To go through the positives and negatives: 1. Vocabulary range/depth seems solid: I typically know the majority of words in each deck, but in some of the harder decks I benefit from (don’t fully know) about 20-30% of the cards. 2. ***The inability to ignore/skip cards I know or star/flag cards I want to focus on is quite bad.*** This seems like a commonsense function of a flashcard app; it can be done on AnkiApp, for example. The result is that I have to occasionally mark things as “missed” even if I got them right or else they will be lost to the “mastered” deck, where I’ll have to sift through tens of cards I already know to find it again. 3. As others have pointed out, the inability to view the overall deck and choose cards is just dumb. (Or, if this is a feature and I just missed it, the app needs better UI) 4. It’s nice that this app technically has a tiered mastery system with which it prioritizes cards you haven’t learned, however it is not a very good system in comparison to something like AnkiApp: you instantly go from the lowest level (red) to reviewing (yellow), and after just a few reviews it gets lost to the mastered deck. There are other points, but those are some of the biggest things.
