Hello Guys

I know I have missed much. But it would be ungrateful of me having gained so much from following this thread and having a successful GRE as a result to then sign off completely. I am sure that I have missed much since I resumed Grad school in August. But then, this is my own little way of greeting all the Gurus in the house. I hope it is accepted!

Skmoney:

For those who are having problems preparing or just need some more motivation, i could create a whatsapp group, I'm not writing the gre for now, but I've gone through some resources and truthfully, one should be able to score 320+ easily. Tho i plan to score 340 when its my time to write it, i may be able to help folk out...

The first time i tried any gre Quant question, i had about 19 over 20.. The quants are the best bet for scoring high generally.

Personally i don't like verbal stuff s but thankfully, the gre has a standard which can be learned.

It would really be nice conversing with folks here on a chat group cos everyone has a common goal.

Goodluck to you all...

Me I'm still stuck trying to gather more experience as a masters in software engineering no be child's play

i av registered o wit 65k, examplanet is 65k, so dat means u r taking ur exam in lag?

cuspy:


Ok. sha blast, it's all that matters.

And yea, I'm taking it in lag.

Gunbiz:


dats whr my fear is, no time 2 mysef 2 prepare

cuspy:


You don't have to fear, at all. Fear breeds silly mistakes and then makes you more scared of the real thing. Even if you have a month or less left, plan and use the time the best way you feel you can. Cover as much as you can, be proud of how much you've covered and be satisfied with your progress. Don't give room for fear or doubt at all.

Are you working?
What date did you pick?

Hello guys,

I just registered for the Computer-delivered GRE General Test yesterday and I will be sitting for it Dec.4, and I must admit that I know much about the exams

However, from what I've gathered from the few pages of this thread that I've read (I must admit that I have not gone through each page of this thread because of the volume), the POWERPREP® II, Version 2.2 Software is not sufficient to prepare for the computer-delivered test. As such, I would like to find out the following:
a.) Is there a single textbook one can focus on and use in preparing for, and passing, this exam without having to combine textbooks as suggested by the OP?
b.) If so, which of the textbooks would that be?
c.) In case one cannot do without combining textbooks, which other combination would you suggest, apart from the one suggested by the OP?

Expecting your responses, guys!

Well, I didn't exactly blast the GRE. I'm not much of a storyteller so I apologize if this isn't as interesting as you guys would want.

I had 316(Q160, V156)
Issue essay was quite straightforward; something about the government funding indigent students. I was able to come up with 3 solid body paragraphs and even had time to proofread. Argument essay was quite different from what I had learned. The argument was based on only one premise, so I found it hard to come up with three assumptions. However I still wrote a descent essay but didn't have time to proofread.

First verbal was alright but I didn't have time to finish RC questions. First Quant was simple; no traps, no tough questions. Second verbal was not too tough as well(this confirmed my suspicion that I didn't do well in the first ) but still I didn't finish RCs. Second Quant was tough and had mad traps. I ran out of time on the 17th question. Third verbal was just there.

For those that are yet to write the test, please practise with at least 3 full length practise tests to know where u need to work on and how to manage time. All the best!

To say I've learned so much from this thread would be merely stating the obvious. A very big thank you to SirRiddy, Walspring and others. You guys are awesome.

Success to all those taking the GRE tomao.


ICool I wouldn't be surprised if you made a perfect score. I'd be here to say I told you so.

Though many may dissaprove but my prep and focus has been Quant based.

Scored 159Q. Very likely I will rewrite since I am not going to grad school just to 'escape' naija.
Average Quant score for acceptance into my choice schools are between 162 - 164.
Safe schools have 159 average, [s]I cannot come and go and be standing on the edge.[/s]

Issue and Argument task were straight forward, wrote and had ample time to go through them. No score yet, No bragging right.

First Quant was filled with traps, had kidnappers and assassins all the way to the end. Needed more time to solve all.

Saw the second Quant and knew I had flunked the first, looked just like the normal powerprep questions. Had excess time to review almost all the questions after I had reached the end. Why wasn't the first like this one??

My score isn't poor but 'I need something better'.

Manhattan and Magoosh videos basically has everything needed to pass the math test. I prayed for favourable questions but didn't get that in my first Quant.

Overall, the Quant questions are similar to what you have on the ETS official booklet and the Verbal is similar to the Medium70%-Hard30% questions on the ETS practice booklet for Verbal.
