If you're preparing for the physics GRE then visit these links:
http://www.physicsgre.com/
http://grephysics.net/ans/
http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/undergrad/ugs_gre.php

also I recommend that your main source should be the 4 practice tests,, analyse one of them learn from it all that you need restudy, and use the other three for practicing testing conditions and seeing what else you still need to study..

If you sign up for an account in quizlet.com, there are several GRE vocabulary flashcards that you can study. It is actually really fun. A lot better than paper flashcards. You can make your own flashcards, but usually there are other flashcards that other people have made that you can study. They usually get them from the Princeton Review's list or other GRE preparation books.

Good Luck

This is a good question, and I found after studying many words & even buying GRE vocabulary in a box, it practically didn't help at all. I found the words on the test to be particularly obscure & random. I don't know though, http://www.freerice.com/ isn't too bad (you can change the difficulty settings).
