NavyMom Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I am hoping to take the GRE by the end of September. Hopefully that will give me enough time to review materials and practice.... Is anyone else out there doing the same? If you want to try and study together, let me know.
Monochrome Spring Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I'm taking my bio gre in September and general gre in October. I'll join a study group.
NavyMom Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 Hey Mono, nice to see you again. Did you pick up any books? I only have the Kaplan at the moment.
Monochrome Spring Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I'm currently using the Manhattan 5lb book of questions for general GRE study. I'm doing 1 chapter a day. Then I'll do a couple practice tests and see if I need to study some areas in more detail. I've looked at the Princeton, Barrons, Kaplan, etc. But I just wanted a book of practice problems.
NavyMom Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 I have the 2014 version so it has an online program and also a bunch of practice tests (and practice problems through the book). I am on Chapter 4, working on my vocabulary right now. I have a lot to work on.
sarab Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 How would this online study group? I'm also planning to take the GRE around the same time.
NavyMom Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 Hi Sarab, Well I have skype... email, texting... we can use it to ask questions, go over different problems and different solutions. Etc. Monochrome Spring 1
sarab Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Okay, yeah, sign me up! I'm pretty solid with the verbal and aw, but I still have a lot of review I need to do with math, maybe some vocab. I don't have any books, but I am taking a GRE workshop at my university, and I've gotten a lot of strategies and practice.
Monochrome Spring Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Maybe we can post practice test scores so we can mark improvement with different resources?
Carrick Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 I'm also interested in joining the study group. I plan on taking the GRE in September as well. Recently, I bought the Manhattan Guides (all 8 of them), ETS Official Guide (2nd ed.), & the Manhattan 5lb practice book.
sarab Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Maybe we can have a tinychat (kinda like skype where several people can meet) during this weekend and study/organize how we're gonna do this.
Monochrome Spring Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 I'm down for tinychat. We need figure out a time though.
Carrick Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Tinychat works for me. Just let me know when everyone is available to meet. My schedule is pretty flexible at the moment.
sarab Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 I'm in the East Coast... We need to figure out people's time zones, I think. Maybe somewhere in between 3 to 6?
Monochrome Spring Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 http://doodle.com/umekgdq3sbwaeguh I made a doodle poll for Pacific Time, so just adjust for your own timezone. We can go with majority availability?
Carrick Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Well I live in the South (central time) but those times work for me. Will we be meeting every weekend or....?
Monochrome Spring Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 I guess this would just be for this particular weekend so we can talk more "in person" about a regular meeting time. If that's okay with everyone else. I don't mean to hijack this thread.
sarab Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Are we meeting only to decide a study time or are we also going to study?
Monochrome Spring Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Study too, if everyone else wants. I would like to start studying this weekend.
sarab Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Study too, if everyone else wants. I would like to start studying this weekend. OK, yes, great! So maybe we can meet for an hour or so? More if needed?
Carrick Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Well I definitely want to start studying as soon as possible. Monochrome Spring 1
Monochrome Spring Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 OK, yes, great! So maybe we can meet for an hour or so? More if needed? Sounds good.
Monochrome Spring Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Is anyone studying for the bio gre too? Or just general?
sarab Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Is anyone studying for the bio gre too? Or just general? Just general... I'm not studying anything related to bio, sorry I can't help.
Carrick Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 I'm studying for the general but I will most likely take the psychology one as well.
