cube2nerdy: Sorry 4d delay in my response, I've been very busy. Here's my take on your inquiry: 1st of all, I don't understand what you mean by "MGRE". Are you referring to Magoosh's GRE books? If yes, i have never seen the Magoosh GRE book. Can you please email me a copy so I can give u an assessment? (My email: cchubitunes@gmail.com" 2ndly, if you want to score above 160 on the Quant section of the GRE, am afraid that Grubber "alone" would not be sufficient. You will have to combine several books to properly equip you with the skills required to thrash the GRE. Please note that this is my own opinion. From my experience, Grubber's Quant questions are somewhat average. However, Grubber does provide some good test taking strategies. Thing is you can finish up Grubber's Quant section in very little time. I would advise you study the Quant test taking strategies thou, they will come in handy on the real exam. Nova on the otherhand has a comprehensive collection of quality questions - from easy to very hard. It's a rich collection of question that would test the limits of your understanding and expand your mind. I would gladly recommend Nova but you should be aware that the version of Nova that we all have is the 2008 edition - that's dated and quite ancient in the world of ETS since the test was redesigned in 2011. Nonetheless, Nova still remains relevant regardless of its age. Finally, to augument for the age of Nova, I would advise you complement it with Manhanttan's 5 lb practise book. Fortunately,you can easily combine both books since both book share a similar structure - chapters are structured by topics. For example, chap 1 - Fractions, Chap 2 - Number theory. You get the idea right? The idea is to combine both books to get a solid understanding and a comprehensive exposure to a wide array of questions and strategies. To accomplish this is easy,when reading about Number theory on Nova, you can easily take a look @ Manhattan's version of Number theory. That way, you have a good blend of perspective on a particular topic. In conclusion,the GRE is no joke. Its a deceptive exam - it looks easy but its quite challenging. To pass, you need adequate preparations and comprehensive exposure. To say that it would be easy would not be telling you the truth but trust me, you can make it. All you need is the aforementioned - adequate preparation and comprehensive exposure (by reading multiple books and solving a large array of quant questions). |

automophosis: You can register yourself for the GRE. It cost $200 or its naira equivalent. If you want more information, this should help: http://www.ets.org/gre. However, If you have any difficulties with registration,I'd be glad to help. GRE materials & High score - Tj18's responded already. But I must add that I find the quality of inquiries on this thread very disappointing since most questions asked here have already been thoroughly answered on page one oF this thread. It begs the question, do people read @ all or just rush up here to ask questions without even reading the 1st page of the thread? Good center in ph - of the two, Showers High School @ Woji is way better. Its more spacious and more accommodating than Jeptha. 1 Like |

DanjaNinja: Congrats bro |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by cube2nerdy: 2:16am On Jun 22, 2015 |
DanjaNinja: Thanks for your usual awesome response... By MGRE I mean Manhattan GRE 8 bks. Its been d focal point of my quantitative study (say 75%) though I occasionally use Barron, Nova and 5lb practice. I wanted u to sort of tell me if mainly MGRE alone can take me to the promise land. I know u advised 25% study for each of MGRE, Nova, Barron and Grubber earlier in d trend but that's so much volume. I've got less than 2months now. Secondly if specific pages in Grubber that is useful for verbal can be suggested as I've already concluded my verbal study using kaplan nd princeton review. |

God is good. I have been battling with how to get information regarding GRE but it was all to no avail. Thank God i stumbled upon this thread. I should get to Yaba market and buy those hard copy books. Preparing to write GRE late this year as against next year's admission. Thanks guys. @DanjaNinja, pls I sent you a pm. 1 Like |

cube2nerdy: @25% each: lol. Thats unnecessary. I think i need to update my recommendation since my perspective has evolved. Please send me a copy of the Manhattan GRE 8 Bks. I would like to take look. As for Grubber, you will find a section, i think at the end of the book, that highlights the must know questions on each section.. Very handy if you don't have all the time to read the entire book. Nova has the same feature too. 2 months: Fear not bro, for you, 2 months is sufficient for study purposes. Especially given that you have done quite some work. |

NOTICE[color=#990000][/color] I receive a lot of emails regarding the GRE. I try my best to respond to every inquiry but lately, there are two inquiries that stand out and i find them very displeasing. They are (1) Please send me the GRE books. I find this inquiry highly displeasing for it indicates that you never read the first page of this thread. And if you did not read the first page of this thread, you have no right to ask questions. Simple. If you had read my very first post on the first page, you would found the portion where i clearly stated that if u need the GRE books, SEND A BLANK MAIL TO "selfstudy360@gmail.com" or "selfstudy.version2@gmail.com". However, if you did send the blank mails and yet did not receive any book, feel free to mail me. I would respond but henceforth any mail asking on how to get GRE e books would simply be ignored. (2) How to get a high score on the test. This particular one is unbelievable. The title of this thread is how to get high scores on the GRE. I wrote a detailed explanation on achieving high scores on the first page but still, i get mails asking me "how to get high scores"!!!!!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 4 Likes |

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by TJ18(m): 7:01pm On Jun 23, 2015 |
justanotherme:I think the first thing is knowing how many months you 've got to use in preparing.Then,first acquaint yourself with the exam and test your capability using powerprep,(you can download that on ets website).Pls note that your score on powerprep is not really a true indicator,subtracting like 5points from your score in each section should reflect where you are likely to stand,eitherway,you are in good hands. Then,know your strength and weakness sectionwise, you can then topically focus on each section,Manhattan 5lb will really aid you in that wise.The same for verbal,but in a general sense,don't just go about cramming words,I think Barron helps on tips for effective mastery of words. All in all it is practice, practice and practice all the way and knowing various tricks like gre's timing and it been sectional adaptive. Pls and pls ,go back to page 1 and see how you can combine this books,I believe studying all of them cos you have to might be counter productive. Sorry,I couldn't give you a studying timeline, visit magoosh website,they have 1 week,2 weeks,one month,two,three bla bla bla study plan,if you can follow it religiously, good for you.All in all everything takes discipline. 1 Like |
