Actually, I did guess on several... maybe I just guessed right? Or maybe the GRE studying from last year is fresher in my brain than I thought!

I'd heard of almost all of the words, and more-or-less worked out their meanings from what I remembered of context, instead of knowing them, which I expect most people do with words we don't use every day. :D In most cases I could eliminate two choices, so went witht eh most likely one left. In some cases, none of teh definitions fit what I thought it was, so I picked whateer was least unlike the meaning.

I probably got the Shakespeare ones wrong. I wish the answers were up somewhere.

I do best on vocabulary tests when they're in the forms of analogies -- here, where we had just definitions, I would draw a blank even though I knew I had seen the word and understood it in context. Or I would think, "None of those definitions sound right to me..."
