Most students memorize 2,000 words and still struggle. Why? Because the GRE tests your ability to analyze context, not just define words. We teach you how to read like a detective.
It plays tricks on your brain. Without a strategy, you're just guessing.
Words often have second meanings. The GRE punishes students who rely on the primary definition.
Academic texts designed to be boring and confusing. If you read every word, you'll run out of time.
30 minutes of intense reading is exhausting. Errors increase as the section drags on.
Everything you need to master the three pillars of GRE Verbal.
Why learn 20 synonyms for \"talkative\" individually? Airo groups them, explains the nuance (e.g. \"loquacious\" vs \"garrulous\"), and tests you on which one fits the specific context.
Any app can give you definitions. We teach you how to use logic to fill in the blanks even if you don't know every single word.
Learn to sketch passages. Summarize paragraphs in 5 words. Identify the author's purpose instantly.
Learn words in groups (e.g., "Words for Criticism") and see how they are actually used in GRE sentences.
"Although the movie was widely expected to be ____, it turned out to be quite compelling."
Airo Strategy
"Although" signals a contrast. If it turned out \"compelling\" (positive), we need a negative word for the expectation. "Pedestrian" implies dull/ordinary.
“I was stuck at 152 Verbal for months. Learning to 'predict' the blank before looking at the options boosted me to a 161.”

GRE Verbal: 161
“Reading Comprehension used to put me to sleep. The active reading drills actually kept me engaged and improved my accuracy.”
James K.

“The vocabulary groups are so much better than alphabetical lists. I remember words because I connect them to a concept.”

Yes. Many of our students are non-native speakers. We emphasize structure and logic, which helps you solve problems even if your vocabulary isn't perfect yet.
No. You need to know the 'high-frequency' words (which we cover) and, more importantly, how to use context clues to figure out words you DON'T know.
We teach you to stop reading every word. By focusing on signpost words and paragraph structure, you can understand the main idea in half the time.
Yes. All our practice sets and mocks are aligned with the current, shorter GRE format (2 sections, no experimental section).
