    Have you tried doing some self-study? Test prep like Preped, Magoosh, Kaplan, etc can help you out and would not cost you that much.

    Your writing is already doing pretty good, but you have low scores on Verbal and Quanti. You might need to retake. Although, you can check your school if their GRE score requirement matches yours.
  3. JohnKim
    Hmmm your perfect score in Quantitative and Verbal would pretty much bring your AWA up. How about you try applying to schools first?
  4. JohnKim
    A perfect or near-prefect score would be achievable. But the best solution is to check first which school you'd like to apply and what's the GRE Score they require for your program.
  5. JohnKim
    I agree with this post.

    Targeting a score of 165 for each section is really cool. You must really be determined, focused and manage your study time well. You might need a LOT of practice tests for that though, just a thought of mine. I, on the other hand, is targeting a perfect score (although it is nearly close to impossible that I'd get that score, but at least I am trying). I have been using and investing on practice tests to help me with my self-study. Test preps such as Preped, Magoosh, Kaplan and Princeton for now helped me a lot. Preped is my number one choice, it has the Nova Press and Greenlight Test prep in their platform. Magoosh and Kaplan really do have tutors that are quite helpful, they provided me with tips and tricks. Hope my answer can be of inspiration and would really be helpful.

    essay help

    JohnKim replied to gloriius's topic in GRE/GMAT/etc

    Your essay is really great. The construction of sentences down to paragraph is very well thought.There are some minor issues though, it might be typos: 1) movie or movie in Line 2 2) “The Shack,”
  9. JohnKim
    I'll try this out Heena, and will give you my thoughts soon. Have you tried other test preparation services? I am doing well with Preped, Magoosh, and Kaplan. Still checking Princeton

    Trial Periods or free tests are provided to help us, GRE Takers, assess the practice tests they provide. If it would quite do well with our needs. I have been using the following because all of them provides some free tests and trial periods: 1) Preped 2) Kaplan 3) Magoosh 4) Princeton

    Just saw this post on Quora: IELTS (International English Language Test System) and TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) Both are English Language Tests to determine one’s ability to communicate in English. The major difference of both are as follows Style of English Exam - IELTS has different question types, ranging from fill in the gap, short answer and essays. TOEFL is more on multiple choices. Developer/Administration Council - TOEFL is administered by Education Testing service, a US-based organization that also handles SAT. On the other hand, IELTS is administered by British Council, University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations and IDP Education Australia. Language - IELTS is more likely British English while TOEFL is more on American English Hope this can answer your question.

    Wow this is interesting. So TakeruK, there is no proper answer? I am still confused with your answer, I am very sorry. Newbie here, and I would like to be notified of the replies

    There is no guarantee if the questions will be "most common" in GRE. Based on my reading and a lot of practice tests, I haven't encountered a common questions. Magoosh, Preped, Kaplan and Princeton are just some of the test preparations I used.
  15. JohnKim
    You might want to check Magoosh' blog for that: https://magoosh.com/gre/2016/gre-scores-for-top-universities/

    Hi there, The scores you got in your practice tests does not really end up the real GRE Score. You might want to take more practice tests as much as possible from different companies. You see, practice tests are only there to help us remember our past school lessons and retain it for the upcoming GRE Exam. Currently, I am juggling practice tests between Magoosh, Kaplan, Preped and Princeton.

    Thank you so much for this Samman1994!
  18. JohnKim
    Ooooooops, this is 2013 already! Apologies, was just looking at some topic. Hope I can help the new ones.
  19. JohnKim
    I highly recommend Preped, though. I am using their Review Guide in Mastering Words:
  20. JohnKim
    Wow! This is really cool. So, your investment really paid off. I am currently taking Magoosh, Preped and Kaplan. Will think about using the same program you used. Congratulations on your GRE Result.

    Hi there, Your AW score of 4.5 is actually pretty good. Based on ETS Score Level Description: Scores 5 and 4.5 Provides generally thoughtful analysis of complex ideas; develops and supports main points with logically sound reasons and/or well-chosen examples; is generally focused and well organized; uses sentence variety and vocabulary to convey meaning clearly; demonstrates good control of sentence structure and language usage, but may have minor errors that do not interfere with meaning. How about checking for Universities that matches your GRE Score and apply into it? Let's not be hasty here, but to be honest, your score is doing pretty well.
  22. JohnKim
    You should check which University your GRE Score is accepted. If the given University is okay with you, then submit an application. Plan it out first before doing a retake.
  23. JohnKim
    I'll try using Princeton as well, will check of the free tests they have or any trial! Thanks Csantamir.
  24. JohnKim
    Wow! Your detailed plan is really amazing. Thank you for sharing this. If I were you, I'll go to UIC.
  25. JohnKim
    You have a total score of 328, given that you have 164 for Quant and another 164 for Vocab. There are a lot of Universities that accepts that score, however it is not an assurance that they are part of the top. Although, you can always check the top Universities GRE Score requirement. This way you can know your target score.
