ChemEngr01:
At first I wasn't sure whether to post this or not, but after reading that some people on the thread are thinking of rewriting I decided to share my experience so they can gain from it.
Anybody that read my first post would know I wasn't satisfied with my quant score, so I decided to rewrite. I knew I didn't need that much further preparation, so I chose the earliest possible date after the 21-day rule. I finally wrote it again yesterday, about 25 days after the first. I had Q167 V158. The key to having truly great scores in the quant is practise questions! Throughout my second preparation I never opened any textbook, because I knew I already had the basic knowledge. I started with magoosh videos; I only watched about 150 of them before my first test, so I watched the rest. Then I subscribed to high speed internet and practised tirelessly with online resources. The good thing about online resources is, after seeing your scores you can review and get detailed explanation on all questions(including the ones you get right - you might learn a better/shorter way). I started with kaomanfen.com. The questions here aren't too tough, so by the time you solve 10-15 full lenghts, you should be having scores close to 170. (I skipped the AW and verbal sections of the full lenghts.) Then I went to Kaplan's site. They give you access to one full lenght for free, but you can access the other 6 full lenghts with the passcode "response". The six tests were extremely helpful. I had 162 in the first test, but after reviewing answers to all questions, I saw gradual increase in subsequent tests. By the time I got to the sixth full lenght, I had 170! I also did princeton review's online practise questions and a few other random ones.
For those preparing, you don't have to read ALL the textbooks that have been mentioned; stick to one or two and read it from start to finish(I used Nova in my own case). Then watch all the magoosh videos and then do a lot of practise questions. All the best!

Thanks for the advice.Please can you share the link to the kaplan free test. I have been trying so hard to get a free kaplan test but I have been unsuccessful. Please help out.

KSU will support you. On the application portal, once you click you don't have funds, you won't be asked to upload Affidavit of Financial Support.

Thanks for answering.

I have a question.
I want to apply to Kansas State. I went to their departmental page and it is written you must attach Affidavit of Financial Support Form to your application before being admitted. I am applying for a PHD program and I need TA or RA,so why should I submit this? Does it mean KSU wont support me. Please reply @sirRiddy.

Hello all the gurus in the house,
I wrote GRE in September and I am really worried now because I registered to write again by December. My score was (Q148 V156). I have been practicing but my scores have really been poor. I need help to avoid giving up.
