<p>actually i know like 150-200 words and can understand like 300in context</p>
<p>i get like 550-610 in my CR
and i have done lots of practice…but it wont get better than that(at the beginning it was 500)</p>
<p>now i want to learn 2000 words in 20days…will this help me get a 700 in CR?
i have lots of friends who say that this is the best way…</p>
<p>what do you think?</p>
<p>if your main weakness lies in Reading Comprehension, memorizing 2000 words probably woundn’t do much good. You stated that you’ve done “Lots of Practice.” But have you really taken the time and effort to carefully analyze EACH AND EVERY mistake you’ve made? Have tried to find out WHY you made those mistakes? Practicing only accounts for half of successful score. The other half is about thoughtful analyses.</p>
<p>2000 words could help the sentence completion, but I don’t think it will help all that much. you need to work the problems in context. straight memorzation won’t help unless the actual word is on the test.</p>
<p>dont you guys think that a strong vocabulary would help understanding the passage better?</p>
<p>cause if u understand good, the questions are a breeze…</p>
<p>Being strong on vocabulary IS definitely of great advantage. It helps you coast through the sentence completion sections(though sometimes this part also requires logical reasoning) and have a better grasp on the passages (needless to mention its usefulness in the what-does-this-word-mean questions).
Trust me all people I know who got sparkling scores on CR have a very solid vocabulary (acquired through constant reading) :)</p>
