I noticed adding your numbers or names on to FB or WhatsApp seems to be the "in" thing. Dear, don't go about prepping for the GRE the wrong way. Stop! Don't go on to Facebook or WhatsApp yet!

You need to have a target score, prepare a personal study plan, buckle down and start practicing. It's the good-old method, and would continue to work. Like they say, the more things change, the more those things stay the same.

Of course, it's good to show your excitement about the GRE and browse around on what to expect, especially if you're new to the GRE. I mean, you can go on Facebook, see questions posted by someone, and discuss with friends. Same with Whatsapp.

But, you need to be careful. $205 to naira, at our current exchange rate is no joke. You need to know how to do practice for the GRE.

To do well on the GRE, you need to master core GRE skills.

For instance, there are some questions that will NEVER be asked on a GRE test. If you keep answering those, and you think you'd smile at your real test scores, think again. You'll never see extremely hard questions. Because it's a general test, and ETS is trying to gauge your level of critical reasoning skills, not our well you can solve that complex cubic polynomial question.

Truth is, some random person cooked up a question from the dark corners of the internet, and off they post it on WA or FB for innocent people to chew on. And daily, people are wasting valuable time on "extremely difficult" questions or way too arcane questions that you'd never see come test day.

ETs wants to test how well you can hold up, parrying diverse questions for a space of almost 4 hours. So, you'd be doing yourself a lot of harm, if all you do is solve some random questions posted on Whatsapp, check the answers, and smile at yourself if you aced it. Sorry, but it won't be that simple at the test center.

Here's what you should be doing: What scores do you want in Quant, Verbal and AWA? Write them out.
Next, find a quiet environment, remove all distractions and stretch yourself 4 hours with the standard breaks, and take the entire test (and that includes the AWA). Your head might start pounding the first time you try this. And that's the essence.

(Graduate school is no joke, and tests such as the GRE drill candidates, so they know that getting an MS or PhD is somewhat different from a BSc.)

And when you grade your answers, you won't like the result, compared to the target scores you wrote. I know I didn't like mine. But it's no time to whine. You need to set out few hours a day, depending on your schedule, making sure to practice questions (both on concept and strategy bases) on all sections of the test. And ensuring not to make the same mistake twice.

Practice and focus. It's how you get better.

It's how you master anything. It's how you prep for a test like the GRE.

Wishing all the GRE test takers here great success.

ibnchokomah:
hello. i wrote the GRE on the 17th with a score of 315. 160q and 155v. i had a devastating 3.5 in AW and want to pursue an environmental sciences msc program. i had a 4.25/5 in undergrad level and i am seriously contemplating rewriting the exam and would love an advice from anyone thanks.

Nice scores! I don't think you need to rewrite the test. You also got good cgpa. Just arrange ur other application packages wella n u are good to go.....well done!

Also, could you kindly share your test preparation/strategies and experience so that others who are preparing for their GRE could learn from your experience/strategies.
Thanks ...

Please let's always remember d purpose of this group. I don't think it's necessary forming WhatsApp group from 'cos info shared here can always be accessible to any GRE test taker unlike in WhatsApp group. Let's try to make d group more lively by sharing strategies for acing d GRE test based on experience....just d way the other great peeps here have done. My 1 pence though...

I am also preparing for the test. I stumbled on something which I thought is worth sharing here. It's about d access to up to 4 Kaplan full online practice test with about 10 verbal and 10 quant practice tests as well. It's d Kaplan Premium 2017 online access! Don't think it's cool to post the access details here, however, if u are preparing for GRE and need such access for your practice, kindly send me a pm....

I hope to share my GRE success story here someday and also contribute d little way I can just like my bosses here did: DanjaNinja, sirRiddy, mrjojo, happyday, and others I didn't mention. U guys are source of motivation to peeps here....remain blessed!
