Welcome to the Dr Raju’s world of Memory tricks that introduce proven techniques into vocabulary learning experience. Learning vocabulary does not have to be complicated or boring. This methodology is based on over 10 years of practical research on vocabulary acquisition, retention and usage.

Vocabulary Memory tricks, are designed for anyone wishing to build a stronger vocabulary. However, they are particularly recommended for students studying for Pre-Scholastic Aptitude test (PSAT), Scholastic Aptitude test (SAT), ACT and Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and CAT (IIM-INDIA). Remember that approximately 90 % of university courses require reading comprehension. And to be good reader you must have an extensive vocabulary.

THE MEMORY TRICK METHOD:

The first step in using this method is to find a key word for the word you are trying to learn.

For example, let’s say you’re trying to learn the word ASSUAGE. A good key word for the word ASSUAGE is MASSAGE because it follows two rules.

1.The word either sounds acoustically similar or looks similar to the target word.

2.The word is common or familiar to the learner, which makes it easier to draw or visualize.

ASSUAGE (v): uh SWAYJ

Sooth, make less severe;

Memory Trick: ASSUAGE-MASSAGE

The MASSAGE ASSUAGED and relieved my pain.

Sample Sentence: “Refreshing winds assuage the summer’s heat.”

The second step is to connect the key word to the target definition. More simply, we need to link the word massage to “make less severe or sooth.”

When it comes to doing well on the GRE, one simple fact stands out: you must have good vocabulary. Unfortunately, however, many students don’t have a good knowledge of the advanced words that appear on the GRE.
