MsDarjeeling Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I don't recommend this book for those who are comfortable with math, but the Cliff Notes, "Math Review for Standardized Tests," is an excellent place to start if you haven't touched math in years! By the old GRE scale just going through this book alone should get you somewhere in the 600s. Of course, everyone wants to be in the 700s, so you need to do more than just this book. Thanks for suggesting this. I haven't had a math course since my first year of college and not only was that at least a decade ago I was never great at it anyway. Given my past struggles I'd be happy in the 600s. This morning I decided to take an online GRE practice test and the results were terrible. *sigh* I just ordered the Cliff Notes from the library and am looking forward to a much needed review.

cj96761 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Hi all! I've just started studying for the GRE in earnest and I'm in search of good sources of practice questions and full length practice tests. In particular, i want to take a test just to assess myself this week. I have the general GRE guides by Kaplan and ETS, but where else can I find good quality, realistic tests and questions? Thanks!

I am finding Magoosh pretty useful. There are a ton of sample questions and they all have a video explanation, plus you can see how y are doing within each category and difficulty level which is helpful in identifying weak areas. That said, apparently the maths questions are more difficult than the actual test (I hope this is true)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely need to work on verbal, but I'm happy at where I'm starting. I know for a fact that my vocabulary needs the most improvement (hence my purchase of vocab flash cards) Edited June 6, 2013 by mcvcm92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadtownJacket Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Started: March 2013 Goal scores: V160 - Q 165 Practice test scores: 157 V - 163 Q (Manhattan) Previous GRE scores: None GRE test date: June 29th Materials: Manhattan books, vocabulary words from Kaplan I have an engineering background, so I think the admissions committee would be a little forgiving with my low vocabulary score, but I'm still going to try my hardest to boost that up to 160 or higher. The math isn't hard for me, and I'm sure that I can increase the score to at least 165 after I memorize a couple of minuscule concepts. I've also heard that people have gotten higher GRE test scores compared to their practice test scores if they're using the Manhattan study material. I hope that's the case!

JohnKim Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Has anyone here tried Preped? I haven't heard any comment about this. Although, I have been trying out Magoosh, Preped and Kaplan. Hope I can find the best test prep company to help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
