First of all, I’m guessing by a high score you mean 330 - 340. Do not at all get afraid by all the propaganda that it is something extremely tough to achieve. It is not. I am not someone extraordinary. I failed countless, meaningless exams in my life. I have never been a topper or even close to that. So trust me, when I say, it is an extremely achievable target. Like any successful recipe, this also begins with some ingredients: Magoosh GRE Material (Verbal and Quants) Manhattan 5 lb. book Manhattan Mock Test Series (A set of 6 mock tests) Magoosh Flashcards (Available for free) Official ETS Material Confidence that you can do it Give yourself 2 - 3 months for preparation. Prepare a timeline. First things first, complete the Magoosh GRE Material videos. Both Verbal and Quants. They will take you quite some time. But they will be more than helpful in jogging old memories and clearing out the rust on those 10th standard mathematics that are already there but have been dormant being unused. Understand more importantly the process they are following to solve. Mathematics will follow straightforward logic, whereas Verbal might seem a little illogical at first, but really it is not. For Verbal it is VERY important to know the EXACT meaning of the words (Where constant practice from Magoosh Flashcards will help you) and also the structure and overall meaning of the sentence provided. Once you start getting the hang of it, you will start to understand the meaning and tone of the sentence, both in Reading Comprehension passages and Text Completions. Next, you MUST complete the ETS Official Guides, all 3 of them. There will be 2 mock tests provided in the book. Make sure you complete them and try to bring a score of +/- 2 from your target score. For example, for me the target score was 330, so I targeted for 328 - 332 in the ETS mocks. Next, the Manhattan 5 lb. book will be immensely helpful. Practice as much as you can each day. Doing BOTH Quants and Verbal. Complete the book by doing each and every problem and going through the answers that you did wrong or had confusion in. Also, make timelines (I did every alternate day) and give the 6 mocks one by one from Manhattan during this period. These mocks are a lot harder than actual GRE, so if you are scoring 318 - 322, expect a high score in GRE. Last but not the least, read, understand and memorize the words from Magoosh Flashcards. They will come extremely handy to write my essay when you’re doing RC or TC. In the end, believe in yourself. Practice a lot and be confident of your ability. Most importantly, drink a lot of fluids! (Not just before the exam though - your washroom time is counted as the exam time except for breaks) Have a blast with the exam! All the best! 12 Likes 3 Shares |

Hello all, I just discovered this thread. I am preparing to write my GRE exam in June this year. I am pretty bad in maths and have been scared of taking any graduate exam. But I am at a point of no return. I need to take the exam for my MBA. It's been almost 10 years since I left university. Can someone help me with the necessary materials to read for the exam. Thank you and I will really appreciate any feedback |

I had given my GRE recently and GREedge helped me a lot to achieve the 318 I secured. I am super happy with the score and would like to recommend GREedge to the GRE test takers out there. I had taken Express GRE+TOEFLhttps://www.greedge.com/program/express-gre-with-toefl. It was a good deal around 17K. TOEFL i scored 114. Both scores were pretty decent and the worth all money spent. 1 Like |
