I made flashcards of all the GRE vocabs or any words I came across... Bring the flashcards with you everwhere and think of crazy mnemonic for each word... I came here when I was 18 and made 82% in verbal...
I don't know if this is too late or not, but I would first read the instructions/tips/tricks at the beginning of the verbal section of many prep books, like Kaplan, for both MCAT/GRE/PCAT, and then pick a way that would work best for me...
One of the advices that I got from those books is to make up crazy story that links the word and its meaning and write the word on one side of a flash card, meaning and the mnemonic that you thought of on the other side... I would always use English to explain the word, as it broadens your vocal pool... (except if the vietnamese meaning can somehow trigger you to remember the word, then use it as a mnemonic).
Also, group all the words that have the same meaning together: for example all of the following: Enervate, palliate, mitigate, detumescence (of swelling), vitiate, attenuate... mean to lessen.
Hope it helps. 🙂
PM me if you want Barron's 500 most used words, 2 files for analogies and reading . You can listen to them while driving, exercising (probably not 🙄), about to sleep, nerding everywhere, etc...
OR there's a free flashcard program on Dictionary.com I found quite useful. Search for the keyword such as GRE vocab, Barron vocab, it'll spit out a bunch of lists. They have different methods to study the words such as mix/match, fill in the blank, ...
The key is to plan how many words you study a day and be consistent with them.
dude, good news for you: I know some Viet girls/guys really dig krn drama. Maybe you can bait them!? LOLso i heard lots of vietnamese girls do pharmacy so i lurked on to this pre-pharmacy section. i come from pre-dental.
hopefully my dental school will have fine pharmacy girls
love vietgirls
no im not viet. im krn
Dude, your score is awesome from 35% to 90% btw, you should tell me the secrets on how to improve soo much!!
Aww...I miss seeing my wife post from across campus. Good times. She is as opinionated and spiteful towards humanity as me. *wipes tear*

That's cool! Hey D, is there anything going on for TET this year? I usually go there for the TET festival at one of those High Schools and Phuoc Loc Tho!
My boyfriend lives in monterey park and we usually go eat pho at noodle city on garvey and new avenue. its pretty good so you dont have to drive all the way to bolsa for pho. he usually gets the dac biet xe lua and i get the bun bo hue. then we would order 2 orders of suong sa hat luu. we go there so often they know what we always get lol
yay! viet pride!..i guess that mean more competition with my fellow Vietnamese...jk
LOL.. I live down the BLOCK from there! Not Kidding. You're referring to the one on Florence/Garvey right? Yeah that place is alright. There are some better ones in El Monte ( another town more east that's Viet/Hispanic populated)
But then again I use a LOT, I mean LOTS of hoisen& Spriracha sauce with my pho, so PHO everywhere just taste the same to me. The only way I know if it's GOOD or not is from the after effect, Whether or not it makes me extremely dehydrated signify their usage of MSG.

i have the same problem lik about a month ago when i got accepted at three different places n i lov all three campuses...i know how you feel...the best advice i can giv u is that can you see yourself living there for 4 years? or does the school cost less? n the living expenses is cheaper etc...? good luck on deciding

Yes! The festival will be going on for all 3 days during TET. Phuoc Loc Tho is started to get really crowded already!
Awesome! Which weekend is that?
I have a question. Did they ask you about your increase in PCAT scores? (did you have to show documentation to pearson since that's over 50% increase?) I just took mine yesterday and I think I did terribly. I'm worrying about my chances at admission now if I were to get a bad score on the first pcat. T____T blahhhhhhh!
What's up guys!! Love the thread 🙂. I am Vietnamese, French, and Chinese (weird I know) living in Southern California and I loveeeee kdramas lol 😛

Hi everyone!
I'm viet/chinese as well, from Fresno CA, and will be attending University of the Pacific in Stockton this August.
My mom is Vietnamese, with some Cambodian, and my dad is Triều Châu Chinese. I don't speak Chinese at all, but I can speak Vietnamese conversationally, and not sound as awkward as most ABVs. I'm not ABV myself, but I was born at a refugee camp in Indonesia, and moved to Canada when I was 1. Somehow I ended up in Fresno though... 😕
Anyways, nice to see us doing something other than working at nail salons. (I kid, my mom owns a nail salon.... )

ok about the change in verbal,etc. but you still need to be able to be clear when you communicate to others(drs,pts,nurses,research coordinators),esp. with references to time.
