I have been practicing GRE verbal problems for a while now, and still struggling with reading passages. I'm taking the exam in a few days. I was wondering if anyone can give me tips on how to work with reading passages. Thank you.

Thanks a lot Brent. This is very helpful.

Look into Magoosh.com!! They have video explanation with each question, and they're so easy to follow. Also, it is much cheaper than a lot of other test prep companies. All the best.

Thank you.

I've been taking practice exams through princeton, and they gave me a basic calculator without the square root function. I am curious, is there a square root function in the actual gre calculator? I want to know so I can start polishing my square roots. Thank you for your help.

What is considered a good score? What about average? Worst score?

How are GRE scores calculated? 80 questions, and 2 points per question? Also, the lowest score anyone could get is 130 and the highest is 170? I'm so confused about the grading system. Can someone explain this to me? Thank you.

Thank you so much everyone for replying to my post. OhMySocks - the GRE Score Report was good information.

Oh, they won't even receive my essays?

Thank you Iowaguy. That was a fast reply .

I'm curious, when ETS sends my GRE score report to my university, what will my university see on that report? Are they able to see the questions I missed, and my written issue and argument essays as well? Thank you.

Hi, I'm getting ready to take my test soon. I'm wondering if ETS will give me the score immediately or will it take a few weeks? How long does it take them to grade the essay portion? Thank you for all your help.

I thought 3.0 was a decent GPA but my husband said for graduate school the requirements are different. I'm wondering what would be considered a good GPA for a graduate student?

I graduated with a 3.6 GPA with my masters program online. I'm applying to a PHD program in education, and wondering if it will be considered good enough?

I took the practice exam on ETS PowerPrep. At the end of my exam it stated: 240 out of 340 on Verbal and 260 our of 360 on Quantitative. This is the first practice exam I've taken but I'm still confused by the second part of the score (260/360) because I was under the impression the grading is out of 340. I didn't get a grade for essay.

260 on the new scale.

I've been studying for GRE for a month now, and I'm still not improving my scores. On my practice I scored 240 on Verbal and 260 on Quanitative Reasoning. I have to take the exam in a week, and I'm so stressed out. This is such a low score. If I can't do well on the practice exam, how will I do well on the actual exam. How much does GRE matter? Also, my undergraduate GPA was 2.2 but then I attended an online school for my masters. It was an accredited institution, and I maintained a 3.6. I also have three years of experience in the field. What are my chances of getting in? It's not a top school. The program ranking is somewhere around 130s. Please advice.
