For a start, you need the Official Guide to the GRE. To get a feel of what's being tested across sections.

Your confidence level afterwards will then help you choose materials suitable for you.
Baba, please I would be grateful if you can help me in reviewing my personal statement.
Many thanks bro...

Verbal is a serious something for most of us o grin

However, it is not insurmountable.

In addition to the Official Guide, I strongly recommend Priceton Review (either the Verbal section of the main book or the Verbal workout booklet, or both).

Going through the book has increased my confidence as well as performance on verbal section; the book teaches you to indentify and cross out wrong answers first before identifying the right one - a strategy which works out well for me.

If you've got limited time, go through the verbal section of the main book only, it's less verbose.

P.S: Biko don't read Manhattan for TC and SE questions - you might give up on verbal like I almost did. Manhattan is best for RC questions and Quant only (my opinion).


Well, you right both Mdnhattan TC and SE... do you have softcopy of the princeton review?

Well, it depends on ur present location in either of the cities. You can walk the area and you would surely get one, but how genuine the particular tutorial is? I dnt know. Tutorial is gud, but in the presence of paucity of fund, you can study and excel on your own.

Although, it's believed that students with science and engineering background are better in maths but that is not an excuse for other disciplines especially the social science not to ace the gre quantitative. Read through the previous post to get links to important materials u'll need. Endeavour to start with the official guide. Believe me, maths is not hard. start from the basics and u'll luv it with time. Gudluck!

Good day all, i recently concluded training of a GRE class consisting of two students, both of whom had 310 and 318 respectively on the GRE. I conduct training in Osogbo, Ile-Ife as well as Ibadan. It would be my pleasure to teach, assist as well as guide anyone interested in the three aspects of GRE(Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and Analytical Writing). Kindly reach out if you are in any of these towns and require intensive training/coaching. grecoach@outlook.com.
My sincere gratitude to those who've reached out to me already. Its my sincere hope that you all achieve much better scores than i had during my time. Once again i'm reachable at grecoach@outlook.com.

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by GREcoach: 3:51pm On Sep 18, 2016
Also i forgot to add this. in preparing for GRE, please bear in mind that there would be an experimental section which could be either quantitative or verbal. This doesn't add to your eventual score but can be draining if you aren't prepared. In my case, there was an extra quantitative section which nearly finished me because i didn't realize the test was computer adaptive(Meaning it adapts to your individual ability section after section). Hence in training if you have 35 minutes on the clock per section. Pls reduce it to 27/28 mins (meaning you only spend about 60 seconds per question). The extra minutes at the end will go a long way in affording you review your answers and tackle some other questions you might have skipped. Cheers Guys
