Done

hey thanks! What do u mean by section. Math 1+2 or 4-5 mistakes on math1 and the same for the second one. Because my problem is mostly that i do often not get what they mean. Like yesterday i did a math test (40 questions) and the 2 mistakes i had were both related to translation problems. The first was that i translated edge with corner and not side. (i mean now i know it but then there is another word) So a cube has 12 edges and not 8. And the second was that i did not know what a carven was. (It was a square, but i've just never heard of it!) So to sum it up 1-2 mistakes (section 1+2) are fine?! (I'll do a prep next week to check my score...) And do u also have an estimation about the verbal part?

Hey thanks! does anybody know how many mistakes i can make for this score-range? Like what is if i get 1-2 mistakes in the math part that means 1-2 out of 40 are wrong. is this about 750-800 or 650-700? Just an estimation would be nice :-)

I agree with you. But that was the reason why i claimed that average should be fine?! Would you mind to add some information to my preparation as you already attend a grad-school.

Sure: I am applying for an engineering Ph.D. program. As my university is already ranked above the best schools in europe and top 30 world-wide, i only intend to apply for better or equal schools, as all my friends live here and I do not have to pay tuition, but i even get money. (I hope that is understandable and does not sound to cocky) Thank your for announcing that. But i still have the opinion that average in the verbal parts is ok, as i apply for engineering and not writing. (Am i that wrong?). Btw: there were some really good schools which even told me:"screw the verbal part we are just interested in your math skills." But i think this question relates to question one ;-) As my prof told me to go abroad i am in the lucky position that i get 10 days of before i'll take the GRE (31st of oct). So my plan was to write one test every day. Would u already start now? And thanks to both of u :-)

Hey, as i spontaneously decided to take the GRE and only had 6 weeks too prepare (3.5 left) it would be great if u guys can tell me what else I should/must do. On the Harvard Homepage u can get some scores to see in which area i should score (I picked Harvard bc it was the only universities I could find some numbers) Average GRE Analytical Score: 4.00 Average GRE Verbal Score: 548 Average GRE Quantitative Score: 800 (I talked to some other Universities so i think sth around 750 is fine) As i am also not a native speaker I guess they do not mind if my verbal and analytical score is 10-15% lower. What i did so far: -I got the Kaplan revised GRE Book and worked it through. -I wrote some essays - just to get a feeling - and let them correct. (I think as i only need a 3.5 they are fine) -I worked through the GRE Math stuff (there was a pretty long tutorial available) -I learned the the Barron book with the word roots and 800 vocabs . Do u think that is so far enough to get 500 points on the verbal part? ( I know it is hard to say but as i do not have any clue...) For the math part I just bought the Kaplan Math workbook. I also have to admit that - as i teach a lot of math courses in university - i hardly had any mistakes on the Kaplan exercises. So is one math book usually enough or do u buy more of them, and especially which ones? Again i know that it is very hard to say anything about it, bc you do not know me; But i guess some opinions would help me a lot. Thanxs for all the help!
