I used the Kaplan 500 word vocab book. Did NOT memorize anything more than that. No need to. These are the words that show up frequently.

Then I went through quite a few of the BigBook practice tests and timed myself for 25mins.

That is all you need for verbal.

The Kaplan 500wrd list is a perfect balance b/w covering enough words and focusing on the words that show up frequently.

I think the Barron’s 3500word list is a joke—a monumental waste of time.
