GREzzz

how did you prepare in the first place? I got a 149 on quantitative, and a 157 on verbal. Im taking it again in 2 months and would love any advice! Also, not sure Im in the place to give you study advice, but I have a friend who improved her quantitative by studying with people who scored higher than her! Usually there are multiple ways to solve the Quantitative problems, and exposing yourself to people who choose faster, more efficient methods can help you save time, and raise your score!

I took my GRE last week and got a 149-Q and 157-V. I went through the entire ETS GRE book, and scored consistently around a 312 on the power prep tests. I struggle with test anxiety, and knew I was moderately underprepared for math, but did not expect to perform as low as I did. I am scheduling to retake it in 2 months and really need a 320 for my target school! My GPA is a 3.98, and I have extensive research experience so this test is the only thing getting in the way of my dream school. If you have improved your GRE the second time taking it, can you post your scores from the 1st and 2nd time, and the amount of time/method you used to improve? I need motivation by hearing from people who have made this possible!
