  1. I took the test once but improved a bit from my cold diagnostic (158V/168Q), and I would highly recommend the Manhattan Strategy guides. They're expensive but worth it, especially if you're looking to improve your quant score. The official GRE guide is also very useful. Good luck!
  2. Manhattan overemphasizes obscure vocabulary words. I got 164s on both sections of the Manhattan practice test, and my actual scores were within a 5 point range of those scores. I did much better on the real verbal section probably because the actual GRE focuses more on complex sentence structure/context rather than vocabulary.
  3. Started: May 2013 Goal scores: V168+ Q170 Practice test scores: V158 Q168 (Barron's diagnostic. Don't know how reliable this is, but it's significantly lower than my SAT percentiles from back in the day. Not good.) Previous GRE scores: N/A GRE test date: June 22 Materials: Barron's, ETS book, Manhattan guides Anyone have tips for improving the reading comprehension section of the verbal? The questions are really tricky.
