Hey all. I wish us the best as our exam dates approach. Although I have chosen a date for the exam in my mind, (August 31), I still haven't scheduled it. I hardly get sufficient time to prepare as I have a challenging full time job. Yet, I'm hoping to get at least 1520. God help me!

Based on my observations on this forum, people who scored 1400+ usually got the 800Q and people who got the 800Q are either engineers, or (engineers and Indians- I was told that in India Quantitative is considered a kids play), or majored in Economics (as they studied most of the math on the earth and applied on their courses) so what are the chances of a poor CS girl  |

@Luma,
you don’t really have to be an engineer or a math freak to get a clean quant score. Well, being so might definitely help. But, I observed that what GRE quant needs is a confidence + diligent preparation. I expect that you will be able to score a very good result. And, I wish all of us the same!! |

Upper-division math training is sort of helpful, but not as much as you might think. Unless the coursework is for a high school teaching credential (Number Theory, College Geometry, etc.), I don't know if there's that much of a benefit. There are a few questions here and there where having Modern Algebra could help, but certainly nothing that you would learn in Real Analysis or an applied course like Numerical Analysis. Exposure to Set Theory helps frame questions, but it's definitely not necessary to correctly answer any GRE general questions.
Probably the best GRE prep that can get as an undergrad is actually working as a tutor or teaching assistant. I TAed earlier this summer for an Intermediate Micro and it forced me to think about how to explain concepts from algebra and very basic calculus. I imagine that those who work with students in remedial math courses benefit on the GRE from the exposure to more elementary math concepts. The fact of the matter is that the GRE is testing math that most people learn in middle or high school. An 800 is definitely attainable for someone without any upper-level math training. |

Well been an engineer or having taken advanced maths does not help with the maths that features on the GRE....
Here is what it does....it gives you the confidence you need knowing that you have dealt with more difficult stuff.....more also when it come to maths problems..you can easily grasp a concept learnt, quickly and better than one with no such background...... 800 is achievable by any one but the relative amount of work put in to achieve that differs from person to person given their background......
