The scores are okay but you can consider rewriting the exam so you can improve on your AW and verbal scores. You'll also pray that the quant score Is > or = this current one.

With all due respect sir, his profile is seemingly perfect and AWA in most schools is the least of consideration for admission amidst other requirements like SOP, GPA and LOR etc.

I perfectly agree with you. Most times 3.0 is the least score required in that section. That's even if the school checks it at all(as you rightly mentioned).
I actually made my comment based on his/her statement: ....not impressive....
If a score of 290 is not impressive to your friend, you'll advice him/her to rewrite. Here, this person had a score of 319, yet its not impressive to him/her.....then rewriting is the only alternative.

Hello, everyone! I guess this is my first post on this thread since 2017!

I took my first GRE in September 2017 in Port Harcourt.
Total: 302. Quantitative: 149 Analytical Writing: 4.0

My second GRE was on August 9, 2019.
Total: 311. Quantitative: 159 Analytical Writing: 4.5.

The major reasons why I improved my quantitative score by 10 points are because I used better materials to prepare and I was more serious with my second exam. I spent about 90% of my 3 months study period on quant because I knew that I can score at least 150 in verbal and 4 in Analytical writing without serious preparation. For quant preparation, I opened a Word file where I saved important formulas and techniques for further revision. This was important because I had key concepts under my belt during the exam. I didn't get my target score of 160 in the quantitative section but that's fine.

An important lesson I learned from my exams is that mastering good materials is an easy way to improve your score. Future test takers should prioritize Manhattan, Magoosh, ETS guide, ETS math review, ETS powerprep plus, and Princeton Review. Also, taking practice tests are helpful. I took about 12 full-length practice test before my exam and my average scores in these tests are quite close to my main score. You should also have a robust template for the essays, you don't want to spend 2 minutes thinking about how to start your essay.

Complacency and not using the right materials were my greatest undoings when I took my first exam. Fresh out of college with a top GPA, I took the powerprep exam and got 156 in the quantitative section without any preparation. I thought I could do well in GRE without serious preparation. My scores proved me wrong. Actually, I used 7 months to prepare but I wasn't serious, didn't master important techniques, and did no practice test.

All in all, GRE doesn't care about your First Class. You have to respect the exam because it is not easy. Try to calm yourself down on the exam day by reminding yourself how well you have prepared and how competitive the other parts of your application are. If you let the GRE psych you out; you've already started failing!

Good luck to those planning to take the exam!


I see your username is EconsMajor, will appreciate if you can help me with your target schools.

Thanks

Congrats Scholastica! I am really happy for you!

Good day Beautiful People,

Trust everyone is doing great.

Does anyone know how I can contact drhopeful? I'd really appreciate the help. I figured out she's currently pursuing her PhD in Materials Science and Engineering at UVA. I recently got admitted into the same program and I really wish to contact her for useful informations.

Thanks.

Oh wow. Congratulations!
I'm so happy the scores on here are good.
Your question would depend on the school you're applying too. You should contact graduate coordinators for more clarity. Time is running by fast!

Yes you can! 2020

P.S. Please could you share your GRE experience for others to learn from? For this reason and many more was this group created. Thanks!

She responded to my DM few days ago.

I think your suggestion is great.

But I wouldn't know if it is unethical to give out email Addy without consent.

Hello Bro,

#I have searched the whole of Linkedin, Facebook & even Instagram, there's no sign of her at all. cheesy

Also, I'm yet to receive a feedback from the DM I sent to her. On the other hand, you can help drop a message on my behalf (if you don't mind). I'm heading to UVA & I figured out she's in the same program that I'll be enrolling for. I really need her help in order to hit the ground running.

Thanks.
