Vocabulary in Context

5–7 questions per Verbal section · highest-frequency RC type·Difficulty: Hard
The concept
Passage · The Shifting Foundations of Global Tradeexcerpt · marked

For much of the twentieth century, economists held that free trade would arrest the economic decline of developing nations. Yet many nations in Sub-Saharan Africa found that trade liberalization actually compromised their domestic industries, as cheap imports undercut local producers. The currency of the free-trade argument has diminished considerably among policy analysts, though it retains powerful champions in international lending institutions.

1Target word: "currency" — looks like it should mean money. The dictionary trap is sitting right there in the answer choices ("financial value," "monetary unit").
2Context clue: "diminished considerably among policy analysts" — analysts evaluate ideas, not money. The argument's INFLUENCE is fading, not its dollar value.
3The right meaning: In context, "currency" = widespread acceptance / circulation of an idea. The substitution test confirms it.

A Vocabulary in Context question is not a vocabulary test — it's a reading test. The GRE almost always tests a SECONDARY meaning of a familiar word, and the answer choice that "looks most like the dictionary definition" is almost always the trap. The right answer is the meaning forced by the surrounding sentences.

Stat to remember:The most familiar definition is the trap on roughly 75% of GRE Vocabulary in Context questions. Slow down whenever an "obvious" choice jumps out.

Frequently asked questions.

How does the 7-day free trial work?+

You sign up with a card, but $0.00 is due today. For 7 days you get full access to everything — all 20 adaptive practice tests, the 56-lesson course, and 5,000+ practice questions. Cancel anytime before the trial ends and you won’t be charged; if you keep it, your plan starts automatically after day 7.

How much does Test Ninjas GRE cost?+

Plans are $39/month, or $29/month on the 3-month plan ($87 billed every 3 months). Every plan includes the same full access — the price only changes with how long you commit.

What exactly is included?+

20 full-length section-adaptive practice tests, 5,000+ practice questions with step-by-step explanations, a 56-lesson interactive course (~33 hours) across Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, and Analytical Writing, plus continuous practice mode and score analytics that track every question type.

How does the +3-per-section money-back guarantee work?+

If your official Verbal and Quant scores don’t improve by at least 3 points per section over your baseline, we refund your most recent payment. Eligibility applies to starting scores of 158 or below per section — see the full terms on our money-back guarantee page.

Do the practice tests match the real section-adaptive GRE?+

Yes. The GRE is section-adaptive — how you do on your first Verbal or Quant section sets the difficulty of your second. We decoded ETS’s section-level adaptive scoring in 2023, so your second section responds to your first exactly like test day, and your practice scores reflect how the real test actually adapts.

How does the price compare to other GRE courses?+

Test Ninjas is $29–39/month. Comparable GRE courses typically run $149–$179 per plan (Magoosh) or $179+/month (Target Test Prep). You get 20 full-length adaptive tests and a 56-lesson course for a fraction of the usual price.

How long until my score improves?+

Students improve by an average of 10.4 points across Verbal + Quant, and 94% hit their target score within 8 weeks of joining. Your study plan targets your weakest question types first, so short, consistent sessions move your score fastest.
