For those who are having problems preparing or just need some more motivation, i could create a whatsapp group, I'm not writing the gre for now, but I've gone through some resources and truthfully, one should be able to score 320+ easily. Tho i plan to score 340 when its my time to write it, i may be able to help folk out... The first time i tried any gre Quant question, i had about 19 over 20.. The quants are the best bet for scoring high generally. Personally i don't like verbal stuff s but thankfully, the gre has a standard which can be learned. It would really be nice conversing with folks here on a chat group cos everyone has a common goal. Goodluck to you all... Me I'm still stuck trying to gather more experience as a masters in software engineering no be child's play 1 Like 2 Shares |

Skmoney:What do you mean by 'full funding?'. You mean tuition + fees + accomodation + visa fees + flight ticket? How good are you in negotiation? Your GPA, by itself, doesn't qualify you for anything. Sorry, but you've got to bring your whole armory to the battle field. Your GPA stands a chance though. Score above 330 on the GRE, and aim to score 29 on each aspect of the TOEFL. I can't really give you specific score targets, except those. That's all for now. |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by happyday: 11:46am On Oct 12, 2016 |
So, it's official! It's no longer a choice between the IELTS or TOEFL. More schools want to stop accepting the IELTS. Take the TOEFL to be on the safer side. Thank you! |

Hello guys, I just registered for the Computer-delivered GRE General Test yesterday and I will be sitting for it Dec.4, and I must admit that I know much about the exams However, from what I've gathered from the few pages of this thread that I've read (I must admit that I have not gone through each page of this thread because of the volume), the POWERPREP® II, Version 2.2 Software is not sufficient to prepare for the computer-delivered test. As such, I would like to find out the following: a.) Is there a single textbook one can focus on and use in preparing for, and passing, this exam without having to combine textbooks as suggested by the OP? b.) If so, which of the textbooks would that be? c.) In case one cannot do without combining textbooks, which other combination would you suggest, apart from the one suggested by the OP? Expecting your responses, guys! |
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by cuspy(m): 7:31pm On Oct 12, 2016 |
Gunbiz: You don't have to fear, at all. Fear breeds silly mistakes and then makes you more scared of the real thing. Even if you have a month or less left, plan and use the time the best way you feel you can. Cover as much as you can, be proud of how much you've covered and be satisfied with your progress. Don't give room for fear or doubt at all. Are you working? What date did you pick? 1 Like |

drhopeful:Well, I didn't exactly blast the GRE. I'm not much of a storyteller so I apologize if this isn't as interesting as you guys would want. I had 316(Q160, V156) Issue essay was quite straightforward; something about the government funding indigent students. I was able to come up with 3 solid body paragraphs and even had time to proofread. Argument essay was quite different from what I had learned. The argument was based on only one premise, so I found it hard to come up with three assumptions. However I still wrote a descent essay but didn't have time to proofread. First verbal was alright but I didn't have time to finish RC questions. First Quant was simple; no traps, no tough questions. Second verbal was not too tough as well(this confirmed my suspicion that I didn't do well in the first ) but still I didn't finish RCs. Second Quant was tough and had mad traps. I ran out of time on the 17th question. Third verbal was just there. For those that are yet to write the test, please practise with at least 3 full length practise tests to know where u need to work on and how to manage time. All the best! 5 Likes |

Though many may dissaprove but my prep and focus has been Quant based. Will edit my summary if I remember anything else. Prepare your mind for noise if writing on a week day (Monday to Friday) in p.h, those school children sabi make noise. Dress light too, no air-conditioning. Na fan dey there o. Very key point - after all your practice, conclude with Manhattan and return back to the ETS practice questions for Q and V to get your mind in the ETS model. It is very close to the actual test but requires a lot of reasoning. How do people score 170 on these tests!?? |

^Why do we keep seeing 'beautiful scores' as flops? [s]I just hope we are not being greedy by wanting more[/s] The GRE isn't the greatest admission requirement. A 'bad' score would hurt a good profile tho. |
