Description
This is a flashcard deck to learn the most 500 frequent words on the GRE test.
Each card has a front side and a back side. The front side has an empty box, a short description of the word and its image. Your job is to do two things: (1) try your best to write the word into the box, and (2) pronounce it. After that, hit Enter. The card will flip to the back side, and the correct word will appear. The pronunciation will be spoken and your spelling is checked, so that you can learn from your wrongs. The full definition of the word will refine your understanding of the word, so you can use it correctly in writing. After that, clicking the bottom buttons to evaluate the strength of your memory so that Anki can predict when you are about to forget it.
If you think an image is meaningless for you and you want to change it, click on it to open Google Images. In your browser, find your preferred image and copy it, then return to Anki. In Anki, click the Edit button, then paste it in the Image field.

Tips:
- Set Anki to autorun with your computer, so in every morning, not only you won't forget to learn vocabulary, but also you learn it in the best mood of the day. Or use the mobile app and study it on the bus.
- Try to make an example with the current word and the previous word you just learn. Your chance of remember both will increase. For example, if the word you just learn is "chicken" and the current one is "kitchen", then making the sentence "the chicken is in the kitchen" will increase the likelihood of remembering both.
- Do try your best to remember the word based on the hints before giving up. Active recall is the reason we use flashcard at the first place.
- Don't google the words themselves, google their examples. For example, don't google
perfunctory, googleperfunctory sex. - Use learner, bilingual and collocations dictionaries when looking up a word. I recommend Collins COBUILD, but it has limited number of words.
- A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. (Laozi)
- The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter—it's the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning. (Mark Twain)
- Mathematics is the art of giving the same name to different things (Poincaré) Poetry is the art of giving different names to the same thing (unknown poet)

Lots of the cards are missing the hints, the definitions are slightly inaccurate, a number have the answer on the front of the card making them pointless. the images are often inclusive of the words, and sometimes the pictures are so distracting they need to be removed to allow the word to have any effect. A study guide should not contain personal bias propaganda.

Very good choice of words. Good explanation. Appropriate usage of pictures for reference. Randomness in the order of presenting words helps in learning through interleaving.

Great!

Thank you!

love it

Great deck! A lot of the words are words that appear on many gre lists at a more advanced level. The pictures make it easy to recall. Thanks!

You're often given the word in the definition making it a useless exercise.
Comment from author
Yes, this is what I'm aware of; sorry for your inconvenience. I'll update it if I have time.

Amaaazing way to visualize vocab! It doesn't feel like studying at all, in fact this has become a mind cooler during work, but I noticed that when I see a less familiar word on paper I can recall the image immediately. Some of the pictures are truly priceless :D Fabulous job thank you <3

Variations of words should not be in the description
Putting the variation of the word, like the adjective term, in the description makes it useless to test oneself with the flashcards, since the term gives away the answer. Example, the Short description of oblique is:
indirect; slanting (deviating from the perpendicular or from a straight line); Ex. oblique reference
By writing "Ex. oblique reference: the answer is given before you flip the card.

In reverse order but has audio and okay pictures.
This is slightly annoying to learn from as you are given a definition and have to think of the word. The problem is there are usually a lot of words you could give that satisfy the definition. Worse still, on some cards all you are given is a picture and no definition.
On the flipside the photos are usually helpful, and the audio might help depending on how you like to learn.

The pictures help! Thanks for sharing
love the pic of "L" from deathnote
re "No usage examples": agreed. Seems like the author added usage examples to some cards in the "Short description" section
re "Isn't this backwarks [ sic ]": you can switch it up with "Edit" > "Cards..."
