Larig posted a math review prepared by the GRE folks, and I worked through that and some prep books. I didn't get as much practice of timed tests as I would have liked, and with more time to study, I think I could have done better in the Qant, but I got what I needed for the schools I'm interested in.
Thanks all. I'll schedule it for when we're back from vacation. I don't want to get another prep book for it, already spent way too much on GRE materials It helped today to know how things were going to be presented Late to the party, but you do not need to prepare for it, especially since you are prepped for the GRE.
I didn't prepare for it at all and came out with a perfect score. You'll do fine I didn't get perfect GRE score - and - but decent enough for my program, I had to get over So, I'm done.
Good to hear.. The GRE was much harder and anxiety provoking! If you prefer having more accountable then check out these online class reviews to help you prepare for the GRE as well. To help you better gauge the GRE difficulty levels, here are a few points that test-takers and GRE experts alike are saying about the exam.
The difficulty level of any exam can be very hard to quantify as not everyone has the same strengths, weaknesses, and experiences.
This is why assessing "is the GRE is difficult? Check them out and you can surely get a better understanding of what this exam is really like. Two out of the three GRE sections are divided further into two portions. The first part is a regular exam while the second one is adjusted according to your performance in the first part, with both being multiple choice.
This means that if you did well on the first part of the section, the questions on the second part will be harder and more challenging. With the use of this technique, test-takers are certainly tested according to their knowledge and abilities. Because of this, you can be scored according to your skills. Because of its adaptive nature, you should expect that the GRE will always be challenging for you. In any case, it would be best to prepare really well for the exam if you want to get the best scores.
This is especially applicable to the Quantitative Reasoning section as the GRE math questions can feel extra intimidating with tricky phrasing.
When taking the GRE, prepare yourself to come across with questions that will need you to use logic and analysis to fully comprehend what is being asked. If you take advantage of practice questions you can improve your GRE score by quite a bit. Even taking just one practice test will pay dividends.
This is why it's crucial for you to go through many GRE example questions that are at the same caliber of the actual exam. This will also help you can become better equipped to handle thorny test questions.
You can easily learn this information from the guides released by the ETS and the people who already took the exam. Things are different for the Subject tests, however.
Ample preparation can also help make the exam less daunting and difficult for you. Luckily, as mentioned above, this is a standardized test so you can easily learn how to study for the GRE. You can also use practice tests like the ETS PowerPrep to help you get used to the GRE format and in answering test questions that are similar to the actual exam. As this product is from the same makers of the GRE, you can count on it to be nearly identical and just as challenging as the real deal.
There are lots of other top-notch GRE study materials that you can use to further boost your chances of getting a great GRE score. Flashcards are always highly recommended if you need a boost in the vocabulary area. May 27, Seriously the vocabulary is the hardest thing on the GRE. I would review vocab everyday until the test.
I believe the math is 8thth grade level. Just do the practice problems your prep book gives you. I believe whoever administers the test has a list of writing prompts for the writing section. If I remember correctly, the writing section is timed so I would practice of few of the prompts so you know to write a decent essay in the time frame allowed.
Geauxtee , May 27, TeacherGroupie , May 27, May 27, Thanks! Keep the ideas coming! I , May 27, A good SAT-vocab prep book should do nicely. May 27, TeacherGroupie, thanks also for the site reminder.
Which do you think is the next best one to read 2nd? May 27, That's overkill, in my opinion. You may find that one of them handles math better for your needs and another one handles language better. But there's very little reason to study FIVE books.
There's no such thing as the one best resource for everyone, that's for sure. May 28, I know I can't get through it all, which is why I'll skim through the 2 I said I would skim. If I can learn ONE tip from one book that none of the others had, it would have been worth it! I , May 28, Jul 1, So the day has come!
I , Jul 1, NewGirl23 , Jul 1, Jul 1, Thanks a lot, I need it! Jul 1, I really understand I hope that will provide you with a small amount of encouragement! Joined: Jul 17, Messages: 38 Likes Received: 0. Jul 24, Just a question and I hope you all will not thing its dumb.
I applied for the masters program and they told me you need to take the GRE. I said ok but then they said well just do your best the scores don't really matter for admission.
I wondered then what is the point of taking this test, paying the money and driving out of town since none are offered where I live. I feel like money down the drain.
LIke if college courses and books are not pricey enough. Jul 24, The GRE is generally a university requirement for post-baccalaureate study. In general, for grad school, one applies to the specific program and has to satisfy its requirements but one also applies to the university separately and has to satisfy ITS requirements.

Jul 26, A lot of teacher ed grad programs actually waive the GRE now. I agree that it is annoying that you have to take it if the score does not even matter to the school. I have two masters degrees but I only had to take the GRE for entrance into one of those programs. It was an English as a second language program that happened to be housed in an English department; they only cared about the verbal and analytical writing scores and not the math.
I did not have to take the GRE for my curriculum, instruction, and assessment masters. I bought a study guide and took practice tests online with GRE vocabulary words. That helped as well as reviewing the criteria for each score point for the analytical writing.
