These 2 videos earned me 4.0 in AWA and I'll recommend it for anyone.

What did I did after watching the videos?

After learning the techniques explained in the aforementioned weblinks, I modeled my test-day essay topics along side the techniques. Additionally, you can read through sample essays in ETS guide to bolster your Analytical Writing Skills

Goodluck!

I wrote my GRE today, but the exam took me by surprise. Maybe I was not as good as I used to think. I was thinking I will score 165+ in quant but my prep score began to fall since last week maybe as a result of anger and disturbances from work. I did woefully, I was unable to score even 300 despite believe in my mathematical capability.
But notwithstanding sha, I will keep preparing and reregister once I noticed I have improved.

V141 Q156 (unofficial)

NwanyiOkpa:




All the people i know that wrote today are just complaining. What happened?

NwanyiOkpa:
I will be taking my GRE in few days time.

Any tips? I have not run Powerprep again after studying however before studying, i got 296 or there about.

The first quantitative the gave me threw me off balance. I once read a guy transcript here that the first quant and verbal was easy and I was expecting that but to my surprise I don't know where the questions came from. Manhattan said triangle, quadrilateral and circle are well test but I can remember if it I see more than one question on them. I saw many words problem sha and I don't even know if I got any because I was already off by then. The only good thing was my issue essay. I have come across that one in the pool b4 and I tried to write on it. The two people I spoke with sha wasn't much worse or better unless they didn't tell me the truth.

Pls prepare oooo. That powerprep seems to be a scam. It is like we are not getting up to what we have on powerprep. I got about 310 on both simulation though.

Vader92:
What centre did you write the exams though

Vader92:
Powerprep, Kaplan, Gre crunch prep, Barrons......
In fact, all of the free GRE practice tests online are scam. The questions are waaaayyyyy Easier than what you'd see on the test day.
But you still need to use them as they preparer you for the examination conditions. I'd advice getting that Manhattan practice test series if you have money sha. If not, use the free practice tests like that but expect your GRE questions to be a lot harder than that.

I wrote my GRE Today
I prepared for roughly 3 months basically followed @user234’s advices, I felt extremely confident when I got up this morning.
Arrived an hour and a half before the test started. Got the quant section first, let's just say, it was deadlier than I thought
QUANTITATIVE - 168
VERBAL - 153
TOTAL - 321
I was hoping for 3 verbal sections however I was given 3 quants much to my dismay, the first section was pretty basic and I was quite confident of my performance in that section, however the subsequent two were quite challenging as I ran into time trouble in both sections, especially the final section.
On the other hand, the verbal section was another ball game entirely. The first section was really crazy. Although I understood the sentences and could identify simple words that could be used to fill in the blanks, the options provided were unfamiliar. The second section was relatively easier as compared to the first though
Both sections were a lot more difficult than I expected. At the end of the test I felt I didn’t do too well in the verbal but I was hoping for the best. After seeing my verbal score, I was quite disappointed. The examiner noticed as I couldn’t hide my expression. I am glad I got above 320 and I hope to never write GRE ever again as preparation and writing were extremely stressful and time consuming.

At the test centre, there was a very attractive girl there, we made eye contact a couple times, I really wanted to talk to her but those officials were quite strict at Dragnet and didn’t allow communication inside that lobby. I was really looking forward to talking to her so I waited for a while after I was done but it seemed like she wasn’t gonna (I really hope I didn’t write “gonna” inside my essay) be done anytime soon and considering how exhausted I felt, I had to leave. If you’re on this thread, don’t hesitate to send a message.

You are right, I was really expecting lots of geometry questions, However, I got just 1. I was quite surprised
Most of the questions were word problems

user4321:
congratulations on your scores, I'm sure you'll do better. The truth is ETS likes to keep average scores at about 310 ish, so when average scores start skewing upwards, they toughen up the test to drive averages back down. That's the prevailing explanation on Reddit.

Were the word problems difficult? Was it not same as the word problems in 5lb?
