gigimorales Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Hey ! I'm registered for the new GRE on Sept 12th. I just decided 10 days ago, and the books are on the way. I'm a candidate for a really tough scholarship, and I need to "ace" the GRE to be able to earn it. I only have 3 hours per day for studying during the weekdays, and 6 hours on sat and sun. I don't know how to start. I'm not sure if I have plenty of time to get (150 Q) (160 + V). Any tips? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktel Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I would think 27 hours a week of studying from now until September 12th would either kill your or get you that perfect score, so I wouldn't worry about time. Having never taken the GRE I can't really give you THAT much advice, but the sample questions I've done remind me very much of my grade 12 diploma exams, so I don't think it would be that difficult to get a very good score with the amount of preparation you seem to plan to do.

sarakeet Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 That sounds like plenty of time to me... Like the above poster said, I don't see how you could possibly sustainably study for longer than that! If it's any comfort, I'm studying probably an average of 2 hours per weekday atm, and so far I haven't studied much on the weekend at all (gonna change that soon though). Just started studying two weeks ago. I'm also shooting for a top score and taking it on Sept. 3. So anyway. You're ahead of me! Mostly I'm just going to try to make the math quicker and more automatic, since I haven't done it in ages, and go through Barron's 800 words to find and memorize words I don't know that well.

I am trying for an Engineering programme so Ive really got to get a high quant score. Ive purchased one book so far-Barrons New GRE. What are the books that you are planning on using?
