The 1000 words should be sufficient to answer most GRE verbal questions. Of course, the GRE verbal sections don't just test your vocabulary. So, just knowing all of the definitions doesn't guarantee that you'll answer every question correctly, since you also need to interpret the contextual information in order to determine what kind of word will fit in the blank.

Are the words "puissance" and "militate" some how considered synonyms ? in the sense that they both mean having an influence, or that doesn't hold true ?
Thank you.
PUISSANCE: Power to influence
PUISSANCE: Power to influence or coerce
The the president pledged to put the full PUISSANCE of the nation into the war effort
Synonyms: ENERGY, POWER, STRENGTH

Something in the V148 to V154 range.
