Here's the thing. If you enjoy that workbook, and are learning words from it, you probably won't regret the investment. An engaged mind is an effective mind, and you'll definitely forget all of your flashcard words if you aren't motivated by them. So don't spend half of your study time on the book, but it sounds like a good supplement for you.

I am a big fan of learning vocabulary in context by reading high level material like the New York Times or The Atlantic. If you see unknown words, look them up. You don't have to drill them into your mind, but remembering the context in which you saw it will likely make it stick better than you think. And some words you'll see repeatedly. Those are the goldmines. Seeing a word multiple times in context will help you form your own idea of it.

Reading also helps with your reading comprehension (duh), ability to track with arguments, and recognize proper collocation, which is at least as important on the GRE as vocabulary alone.

Keep practicing the verbal material in the official guide as well. That stuff is way ahead of any other third party source. You'll really want to get to know those questions. Spend time analyzing them, seeing the traps, and learning why the right answers are right, especially for problems you get wrong. That should keep you busy for awhile, and be the difference between more than a few points.

160 is a pretty darn good score, but it's achievable. Feel free to let me know if you have any more specific questions or concerns!

What is your budget?

Regardless, first buy the Offical GRE guide and verbal/quant set => https://www.amazon.com/Official-Super-Power-Pack-Test/dp/0071841814

The set will give you a basic intro to the GRE, basic review, and tons of practice problems.

I finished up with my undergrad at UCF about a year and a half ago. I'm using the Official GRE study guide by ETS I'm looking to take the actual test by the end of the year so I'm planning on spending about six months in prep.
