GRE背单词记不住怎么办?请从记忆态度和方法上找原因，下面小编就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧

GRE背单词记不住怎么办

背好GRE词汇先认清考试要求端正态度

不少考生在背单词时效率低下，首要问题就是没有端正态度。大家在背单词的时候，并没有能够正确认识背单词的实际作用和考试对于词汇到底有什么具体要求。错误的学习态度自然会导致记忆效率的低下，下面这些想法认识大家一定要首先纠正过来：

1. 词汇量是GRE考试核心

词汇是英语考试的基础，而以英语作为载体的GRE考试，对于英语词汇更是有着极高的要求。在整个GRE考试的各类题型中都需要大量运用英语词汇，数学有专业词汇，写作需要用到写作词汇，语文部分更是着重于对各类词汇的理解和运用。没有足够的词汇量，考生别说做题，甚至可能连读懂理解题目都会出现很大的困难。因此，词汇量充足与否，往往会和GRE成绩直接挂钩，觉得词汇量不够也能蒙混过关的天真想法，还是早点放弃比较好。

2. GRE背单词不用刻意追求难度

GRE阅读考试文章中确实有许多难度较大的单词，但是作为考试，出题者不会太刁钻。大多数情况下，大家回答问题所涉及到的都是一些常见的、考生应该知道的名词、形容词、动词和副词等，过于专业和过于高深的词汇一般是不会出现或不会成为解题障碍的。这一原则正是为了体现GRE标准化考试的公平公正性，不会因为考生的专业背景不同在考试中出现影响。因此，过度追求偏专业的冷门生僻难词，其实并没有必要。

3. 背GRE词汇不仅要识词还要会使用

这可以说是考生为了应付背单词而找的各种借口中最常见的一种。GRE考试不仅设置有专门涉及或者说针对词汇的填空题部分，其他考试内容对于词汇的要求同样无处不在且要求各不相同。对于诸如数学这样的考试，考生的确只要对数学名词和专业词汇认识即可，重点在于理解题意。但在语文和写作部分，对于考生词汇掌握程度就有了更高的要求，不光是认识，考生还需要熟练掌握词汇的正确使用方法才能算是过了词汇关。因此，对于GRE词汇的背诵记忆，还是应该严格要求，要有深度的去学习词汇，学会运用词汇才是合格标准。

GRE词汇常见错误记忆方法分析

除了背单词态度上的问题外外，另外一种就是记忆方法上存在的错误了。GRE背单词方法错误主要包括：

1. 单次记忆量太大

GRE词汇量很大，为了快速完成记忆和词汇量积累工作，有些考生强迫自己大量记忆，每次都背几百个单词。背的量太大，制定的计划不合理。人的记忆能力是有极限的，一天背1千个单词和1百个单词，最后能记住的量肯定不同。大家不要太过苛待自己，制定一些明显不可能完成的任务。根据自身的实际记忆能力，调整每天背单词的量，就能够很好地避免背完就忘的问题。

2. 词汇记忆要求太低

既然有给自己加压的，自然就会有想办法偷懒的。有些考生背单词给自己定的要求太低，只背个字面意思就觉得完事了。虽然看似降低了要求，但其实这样背单词反而更容易遗忘。正确地背单词方法是根据词汇适当记忆一些词汇的同义词近义词，并参考一些例句学习用法加深记忆。通过这些方法，考生能够在背单词的同时展开联想，很多本来字面意思比较晦涩难懂的词汇，往往可以通过这种联想深刻映入脑海之中并随时取用，而不会因为浅尝辄止地简单背诵被轻易忘掉。

3. 反复记忆次数太少

想要背好GRE单词，考生就绝不能抱着只背一遍就搞定的想法。人体有自己的自然遗忘规律，这意味着在大量记忆过程中必然会出现一定量的遗忘。对于GRE词汇来说，只背一遍就希望彻底记住过万词汇，本来就可以说是天方夜谭。而重复记忆，才是符合科学记忆规律的正确背诵方法。有不少高分考生都表示自己考前某某词汇书背了多少遍，这些经验也从侧面体现出了GRE词汇绝非背一遍就能通关。

GRE词汇如何正确记忆提升?

说完了导致背单词记忆效率低下的问题，下面小编和大家分享几个正确背单词的方法技巧：

1. 使用优质词汇书

对于如何背单词，考生首先应该遵循的原则是：适合自己的才是最好的。如果一本词汇书中平均10个单词只有1-2个不认识，那么这本词汇书对你来说就过于简单。反之如果只有1-2个认识，那说明这些词汇对你来说太难了。一般来说，如果一本词汇书中考生不认识的词汇比例在40%-60%之间，那么这本词汇书就比较适合你现在的水平了。

2. 背单词需有毅力

其次，背单词需要耐心和坚持。如果你没有时间或没有耐心坚持背单词，那么任何词汇书都是毫无意义的。而如果你能做到坚持背单词的话，即使选择的词汇书难度偏低，也会在不知不觉中提升词汇量。背单词的过程无疑是枯燥乏味的，因此也更需要考生持之以恒的精神。

3. 分清不同题型词汇考点

上文提到过GRE考试不同部分对于词汇的要求有所区别。这种区别考生自然也要在背单词过程中多加留意。比如数学词汇，的确可以把标准定为认识所有词汇即可。这种区别对待的方法并不是偷懒，而是帮助大家更有重点详略的记忆词汇，提升记忆效率。
