720Q 450V first practice test

[zreinhar]

On my first powerprep I got a 720 Q and a 450 V and I am majoring in EE, I hope to get in to Georgia Tech which would involve me getting around a 760Q and a 550V and a 4.0 AWA.

About how much studying time and prep would it take to achieve this? Is it a plausible thing to do? what are the odds of a higher score? closer to 780 or such? I bought barron's and will open that soon along with using the stuff from ets' website... all help and thoughts are greatly appreciated...

I will have LOR from the department head of the honors program, my research supervisor, thesis advisor.

I have a 3.74 GPA will double minor in math and physics

Work at Georgia Tech Research Institute, (1 year exp) will be here till I graduate (one year away)
They will pay for any education for me, I just need to get in somewhere either online or in Georgia.....

Longshot will be stanford's online program... safety will be arizona state's online program with USC, Ga tech, and columbia thrown in for fun.

Its a long way to go for you. we need lots of preparation before we go for actual exam.. although people take 1-3 months for prep..but the only guy who prepares knows how much time it will take for him to preapre...coz no 2 guys are same..

In the practice tests I have taken since I have gotten:

800Q - PowerPrep
800Q - PowerPrep

790Q - Barron's
780Q - Arco Master the GRE

Would it be safe to say I have improved my score so that it would hover around a 770? (Verbal isnt too important and I only need improvement on analogies and antonyms, so I'll get a word list or something) Thanks for the help. I will probably take my GRE soon. But we'll see.
