Thank you all. Please,help me with advice. I'm through with my MSc and I don't know if getting funds will be easier for PhD or MSc? I don't have money but wants to further my studies. Also,which is better? Australia, Canada or USA? So sorry to ask this question please. Just starting preparation for GRE, will I be able to meet up with admission if I write the exam by December?

ponlear: For you to hit Q 162 in Manhattan, it means you could get up to 166 in real GRE, ceteris paribus. Manhattan's quant is a bit tougher than actual GRE and I recommend it for practice. But, Manhattan's Verbal doesn't mimic the actual GRE too well. Yes, they use a lot of fancy words but their RC are not as complex as that of the GRE. That doesn't mean you should abandon Manhattan, you should just know its limitations. So I recommend using ETS official guide to GRE Verbal and ETS Revised GRE guide. You will see questions of different difficulty levels and are actual past GRE questions. You will learn a lot of strategies from Magoosh guide and Videos too. You would have to be patient with yourself. GRE is testing skills they expect you to have learned from primary school up till now and not just from last two months. Sadly, we don't learn much of those skills from our schooling especially those of us from Science background. So, identify your weakness in Verbal first - for most people it's the RC, so focus more on practicing that part. Learn how to read very fast without losing meaning. Learn reading by "chunking". Learn to read actively. When you read, take notes - yes! there will be time for it and it helps you read actively. With practice you will get better. These are just General tips I can give now. If you have specific concerns you can ask. I think @gokuu can also come to your aid; he scored 162 in Verbal. 5 Likes |

DreManuel: I am blushing right now. When a Scholar DreManuel serenades you online, you're probably be doing something right. As per the verbal, SC is all about using words in context. Simply knowing the meaning of words is only a necessary condition; not a sufficient one. Honestly, I did not really prepare for the verbal - I only watched Magoosh videos and did practice tests. BUT, I read a lot of New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Business Insider, Bloomberg and others, and I have been doing this even before I got into undergrad so I think that helped a lot. Like DreManuel said, these things are built over the years; I guess that's why schools look closely at them. What you can do is read lots of foreign articles in the time you have to prepare - this will give you a lot of context and nuances on the use of words. For RC: Practice your pacing! RC is the time killer for the exam; you must make sure you can read and internalise a 500-600 word passage in 3-4 mins. By internalize, I mean that you should know where to find specific information in a passage. This will save you a lot of time. 4 Likes 1 Share |
