  1. If anyone needs free help on verbal I can tutor. I am good at vocab and the other parts, but I freeze on tests, so I am trying to calm myself down and take the test at the end of March. Please contact me at califgre@gmail.com. I am also good on essays since I am a writing instructor. Reach out to me if you want free services.
  2. Hello everyone...I did horrible on the GRE but turned in my apps anyway. Can I join the group study? My strength is Verbal and Sentence Equiv but I just could not think on the exam. I am thinking of re applying for next cycle, but need a stellar score. Thanks
  3. Is it too late to join the GRE study group? I took the GRE but did horribly got really stuck on the math then lost interest in the verbal. I am studying again and have already sent out all my apps. So I am hoping to take the exam in late March. Please text asap. Thanks so much!
  4. I took the Manhattan course twice and found it very useful. I was scared of the math but am strong on the verbal. I am interested in getting old GRE tests. Does anyone know how to acquire them? I would much rather use the real tests though Manhattan does replicate them well. I don't think Kaplan does a good job from the practice tests I have seen. The actual GRE looks a lot like the Manhattan prep, but my head is fried from studying! Any advice on material would be great!
  5. Thank you so much. I have almost finished reading my second Anthology which I love doing, but how much is it going to help me? I also get the Princeton GRE Lit book and I have read almost everything on that list, but the questions are still a conundrum to me. I will have good recs, GPA, and good writing skills ( I am an writing instructor) there are only 3 schools that I want to try for that require this test, but they are high end schools (Berkeley is one of them) but they are very very fussy. I am now concentrating on my GRE general. Believe it or not I am stumped on the sentence completion, I am seriously considering taking a Manhatten class (online) since I have not opened the books for months. I began my review last week and felt so behind since lit was all I worried about. Would you recommend Manhatten or just do it on my own, or even take a quick online class for 99.00? Thank you so much for your advice though. I really appreciate it.
  6. OK I looked at the test from ETS and I could barely answer any questions. The ones I could answer were from what I learned or read in school several years ago. I have almost finished the Anthology, so that did not help. Kaplan does not have any resources for Lit sub exam. Can anyone advise? I am so freaked out right now.
  7. Thanks for all the advice. How important is Marvell? He is given a lot of importance in the anthology. I am going deep into Milton, but other than that I plan on skimming since I have already read a great deal about the others. Any advice?
  8. Thank you so much for replying. I bought a number of resources such as Manhatten's verbal books, ETS GRE, but I was going to enroll in Kaplan 1200 dollar program for which money is scarce and the benefits from what I have heard not that great. So I am going to self study just finished my MA in English and am now getting to this. The reading is slow very slow I have not even finished one anthology yet, but I was busy with my thesis all this time. I will finish it, but have been stressing out on time. The exam is on October 29th. The other general I am still studying for. I am using Magoosh but want to know if anyone has used the PowerScore Bible for verbal? Thanks
  9. Has anyone used the Powerscore GRE verbal Reasoning Bible? It looks good, but I have not heard anything about it. Please advise. I am doing Magoosh, should I also use Kaplan? I mean the whole course it costs a fortune, but is it well worth it or is Magoosh enough with Manhatten prep resources? Thanks
  10. Can someone suggest the best way of preparing for the GRE's? I am going to sign up with Magoosh, but has anyone also used Manhappten Prep? I am in English, so need a perfect verbal score.
  11. Does anyone have advice for the GRE Lit exam? I am preparing using the anthologies, but I am still thwarted by the questions on the exams. Any advice?
  12. I know that state departments of education have the ability to translate your grades. Every state has an organization set up, so contact them. I also lived in Germany and understand the rigorous programs they have there, so you are in good shape. Don't rely on universities to do this for you.
