I am about to take the GRE exam for psychology and GRE General tests in 3 weeks time. Was wondering if anyone has taken the tests and if you could share tips based from your personal experiences. I did not sign up for any review class although have some review materials. Math is my waterloo and so I am more nervous about it than the psychology subject part, Verbal and writing part. Thanks

i have take tha GRE last year. i did get a satisfactory mark in verbal. however, my math is full mark. as for me, math just like a piece of cake.
according to my experience, i think you should do some simulated papers about math. though i got the full mark of it, but i never did any simulation before exam about math, so i felt very nervous when i first met them. i think as long as you do much practice, math is really a easy thing.
of course, if you have some problem, maybe i can help you.

Thanks for replying. I hope I get a good score in Math since the universities I have applied to in the US require at least 600++ score. That is probably not hard for you but not sure for me. I guess I have Math anxiety. If you have specific tips on what topics in Math I need to focus on, I'd really appreciate it.

i will take this exam the next year my friend.and i intend to participate a course this winter.i dont think the mathical part of GRE is quite difficult,but the verbal is.my bottleneck is vacabulary.since english is my foreign language,i have to remember thousands of words in dictionary.it's tough and arduous.my suggestion of learning math is that you should make more exercise and sometimes turn to teachers for help.asian students always do good job in math,so dont worry about your gift.hehe


myLot reputation of 87/100. denjie (278)   ranked 4,300 out of 6,143 in student  5 years ago

I am Asian but I am not good in Math compared to English. I guess you are right, I should sit down with a teacher for a day or two just to review the basics. I have been doing self-review but I feel it is not enough.

As for English, I need to practice the essay writing part which is an added feature of the GRE. But I am not as worried as with Math. Thanks for for you suggestions!

I havent taken gre yet, but i am planning to take gre to pursue my higher studies abroad. I am seriously preparing for it right now. I have a lot of materials with me which i think would suffice and i dont have time for going to gre classes. i am planning to take gre next year, by this time.


myLot reputation of 87/100. denjie (278)   ranked 4,300 out of 6,143 in student  5 years ago

Good that you have a long time to prepare for it. I wasn't serious about it since I thought I wouldn't study in the US anymore. When I have finally decided to apply, I found out that I barely have a month and a half to prepare for my GRE Advance Subject Test (Psychology) plus the GRE General Test (Verbal, Math, Writing) since I need to turn in all my requirements to the universities by Dec.

Good luck to you and thanks for replying.

Well i did take the gre general test and scored 1410 with 800 in quant! i guess its easy to score in quant. i did not take any classes! all i depended on was gre bible and big book. Use these two and you will surely benefit. Also give the powerprep when u have just a few days to go!!! it is very indicative!!


myLot reputation of 78/100. thatcrazyqbanita (2012)   ranked 4,952 out of 6,143 in student  5 years ago

wow


saintdeb (36)   ranked 2,496 out of 6,143 in student  5 years ago

its easy man!!! if you have any specific questions i would be happy to answer!!!


myLot reputation of 87/100. denjie (278)   ranked 4,300 out of 6,143 in student  5 years ago

Hi, thanks for sharing. What is the GRE bible and big book that you are referring to? I really need help in Math. Maybe I am just too anxious. Is the Math part really easy? What is the powerprep you are referring to? I am starting to feel panicky already.

WOw - that's a really impressive score! Way to go!

i dread taking this stupid exam. i will be taking it within a month, and i'm terrified about the math section. thankfully, some of the schools i will be applying to don't even require it.


myLot reputation of 87/100. denjie (278)   ranked 4,300 out of 6,143 in student  5 years ago

I guess we are sort of in the same boat. I dread taking them and the universities that I need to apply to require both the GRE Advance Subject test and the general test. How are you preparing for it? Thanks for posting. It's somehow reassuring to know that others have taken the exams or will take them. It somehow makes the task seem more doable (somehow. . .)

I highly recommend studying - A LOT if you're not up on your math. I hadn't had a math class in 7 years when I took the test, and studying REALLY helped. I used GRE for Dummies, and not only did I pass, but I got a GOOD score! If you're a strong writer, you won't have to worry about the verbal or writing, ALTHOUGH the GRE for Dummies book really helped get used to the analogies and basically what to expect. I don't know, but I would guess my high score was because I really studied! Good luck!

I have only practice on a few tests, but I have used www.number2.com and www.mygretutor.com, and they are really good, and don't cost an arm and a leg like Princeton and Kaplan, which are a rip-off!
