How long does it take to memorize GRE vocab?

Most students need 4 to 8 weeks of daily study to build a strong GRE vocabulary, depending on your starting point. If you already read widely and have a solid vocabulary, it could be faster. If English is a second language or you haven't been a regular reader, budget more time. Consistency matters more than marathon sessions.
