Hello, I was at San Diego State and I took the GRE the first time. I am a 4th. year economics major at UC Riverside. Here are the unofficial scores: 152 for quantitative reasoning and 146 for verbal overall score: 298 I was very surprised that my math score is 152. I thought I was going to score at least 160. You want to know something funny? I passed Calculus 1 and 2. Furthermore, I took Linear Algebra, Differential equations and Multivariable Calculus and yet I received a 152. The GRE math test felt like a magic trick math test or a Mensa Math test. I am not surprised with my verbal score though. I studied GRE vocabulary words and worked on practice GRE reading comprehension test and yet I did low. How can I improve my GRE verbal score? I do not know my score for the essays yet but I think I did well. My college freshman composition courses did help me prepare for the essays. I sent my scores to San Diego State, UC Santa Cruz, UC Santa Barbara and UC Riverside. Is my score good enough for any of those universities? I am thinking about retaking the GRE. Can anyone give me advice on how to do better on the GRE next time? ---Will Coppock
