lamb Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Gre will do this more and more often in high difficulty level questions..so be prepared for such type of questionsYou're right.. I especially face difficulty in those reading comprehension questions where more than one option is right ..i mean multiple options can be right..becomes even more difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not know which answer is right but you can eliminate which answer is wrong. That's the way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PersonPeople Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Gre question: Which score should I report??? Most of my programs allow you to report two scores but the UCSB M.ED asks you to report only one score! The problem is I don't know which score would be considered "better" for this program. 1) V: 167 (97%) Q 151 (45%) AW 5 (93%) 2) V: 167 (97%) Q 155 (60%) AW 4 (56%) The first time I took the test I scored above 90th percentile in both writing and verbal, but below the 50th percentile in math. The 2nd time I improved my quant score significantly but messed up the essay so my scores in both are middling. My program is not really a math heavy program (social and cultural studies in education) but I'm worried that a below 50% could look really bad, on the other hand the first set of scores might make more of an impression because of the two sections above 90th percentile. What do folks think? Which score should I report? Thanks! Edited January 9, 2016 by PersonPeople Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassEdge Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Congratulations! I think a lot of your practice went into studying vocab and reading comprehension, which is a focus area for many. Do you mind going into detail about which resources you used for both vocab and reading practice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you have a higher quant score in the second score, go for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the best way to learn vocab is to learn new words through a wordlist and then read high quality newspapers and magazines which have high editorial standards. You are most likely to come across the words that you learn in these editorials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes..some people say that learning from a wordlist is boring but I say that it's the most efficient way to learn words. Augment learning from worldlist with reading high quality newspapers, and you should be in good shape as far as vocab is concerned. Goes without saying that this takes almost 3-4 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anuma Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 How much time did you devote for GRE Prep everyday? Could you share that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi..There are two things here. Firstly, you should devote 2-3 hours per day over 3-4 months. But I believe where people lack is consistency. Doing prep over a sustained period of time is not easy. Consistency is super important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
