Actual GRE Quant is harder. Sorry, which one is ETS Practice booklet?
I actually think they are both comparable with actual tests. Think about it...some people have reported seeing the practice test questions in the actual exam. I had 158 in both power prep tests first try vs 162 in actual GRE.

Good point, but it all boils down to exam psychology. When you took the Power Prep test, you weren't as tensed and desperate as on test day. Deep within you, you knew it was just a practice test, and you were just trying to gauge your performance level. And that if you perform poorly, nothing spoil. But, not so on test day. You keep thinking of the stress of re-writing, another N50k, and on like that.

And yes, ETS do repeat questions.

Hello gurus in the house i am new to the thread. i would like your candid advice on how i can go about writing GRE & TOEFl. I would like to apply for Msc Mech Eng and need these two exams to stand a chance of getting admission and funding if possible i finished with a 2.2. i am looking at writing both exams in the first week of October. i have my leave(20 working days) through out September so i want to use that time and prepare fully. i need expert guidance on how to go about it. i also wont mind links and materials sent to my email dejioni@gmail.com. thanks in advance

Hi Auxioneer, how are you? This might be late given you intend to take the test by October but I am glad you found this thread and i pray that your request for expert guidance be met. That said, did you know that if you read the very first page of the thread, you would find most of the information you need? Additionally, reading through the entire thread wont hurt either - you would be surprised by the amount of insightful information buried within the pages of this thread. wink

Those in need of materials for preparation should start reading from page 98. Page 42 also has a link to videos of great importance.


Nice work.

NOTE TO ALL: if you know of a specific page with insightful information, kindly tag me. I intend to create an index of such links in the first page. That way accessing specific information would be quick and painless.

Funding is mostly for PHD students in KSU, I can't find any for masters undecided I'm considering KSU, but I need some kind of funding atleast part funding if not full funding. Please is funding based on GRE performance or how does it work there? Kindly explain bro. Looking forward to your response

That is how it is in most graduate in the US and even other developed countries.
However, many guys here in the MS program get funding when they get here.
I am in the Computer Science department and I can only speak for the department.
Some also get Assistantships at Agronomy department and other rich departments here.
You can leave a PhD program and graduate after MS. The question is what is your profile?
GPA? GRE? Research Experience? This place is research oriented and need people who have
that aptitude but they are very generous.

The powerprep generally has just 2 practice tests. I don't think there's any other powerprep from ETS that has more than 2 test. However, u can practice further with d 2 tests in the Official Guide to the GRE by ETS.
How's ur performance in the 2 tests in powerprep? U mind sharing?

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by seeker88(m): 6:24pm On Oct 09, 2016
.... there's this controversial question I came across in ETS paper test.
Please I need your opinion on the answer. Please can any of d gurus here kindly help with d answer.....would supply d right answer n my opinion thereafter. See d question below:

One person is to be selected at random from a group of 25 people. The probability that the selected person will be a male is 0.44, and the probability that the selected person will be a male who was born before 1960 is 0.28. What is the number of males in the group who were born in 1960 or later?

Prob of picking a male in a group of 25 = 0.44
No of males in the group = 0.44*25 = 11

Prob that the selected person is a male born before 1960 = 0.28
No of males born before 1960 = 0.28*25 = 7

Thus, no of males in the group born in 1960 or later = total no males - males born before 1960
= 11-7 = 4


I think I saw this same question in Powerprep.
