eastafro: hey guys whats up? i just retook the gre yesterday and i actually improved . q=161 v=152 0verall=313 wanted a 160+ for my quant and i got it. gotta say tho,i have never been the guy to stress over an exam. i have always been that nonchalant guy when it comes to tests but GRE man that gets to you BIG TIME. NEVER HAVE I EVER CAME ACROSS A MORE STRESSFUL TEST THAN GRE. could be mainly cause i made it a big deal in my head or maybe it is. most people say it was the same for them too so thats that. so yeah i got QVQVQ and i did not study vocabulary or anything this time around. advice for all the math/engineering applicants- focus on the quant section since ,i believe, thats the admission committee would look for(most schools). i wish i scored 170 on than but it is what it is and i am happy regardless. one thing i noticed your score does not reflect how many questions you got wrong ,some questions weigh more so getting them wrong means a lower score so practice hard questions to increase your chance of answering them correctly with the time you have. as for study prep , nova(very helpful for the math section!!! specially for remainder questions which i got two of them yesterday) ,Manhattan all series and official ETS prep guide is enough.i think anything else would be an overkill. and one last thing practice trumps reading/studying. evenif you are not familiar with the subject practice questions on that would go along way than to contemplate on the topic for days. if yall have questions about gre ,i am here to share my two cents. thanks. on to the next headace.....SOP and THEM  Good day, pls can u send me the ETS prep guide enefoaria@gmail.com thank you |
