How to make the most out of Lexicon:
- Visit regularly. That way you'll add words to your repertoire daily.
- Make flash cards. Make pocket-sized flash cards. Flash cards are incredibly effective in enhancing one's vocabulary.
Whenever you come across time voids(like walking to your bus-stop, or in an elevator etc), take your cards out and glance over them. That way,
you'll retain whatever you have learnt.
- Read the sentences aloud(whenever possible) if your surroundings allow you to: This will help you understand as well as retain the sentence formation of English language. Remember that watching helps with learning, and
listening helps with retention.
- Curiosity breeds knowledge: Do NOT be reluctant to google words similar to the ones listed. And more importantly,
keep the new words in a ledger/on flash cards. New words tend to be mischievous, they try to elope your mind if you don't revisit them.
For
CAT/GRE/GMAT aspirants, we believe that this is a great tool for
enhancing your word-bank. Of course, it always pays to have a few fancy words up your sleeve.
We are constantly working to have as much meaningful material as we can at your disposal. We are in beta stage. If you have anything to convey to us, say, a suggestion or a bug, please leave your feedback
here.
That's all.
Now let's get you better at English!
