Hi
Would you recommend retaking the test for an 800 quantitative?
Thanks

hey congratulations on tat dream score man, those scores are fabulous.

hi jazmt

come on, dont show off!!

congrats on your super score!

. though a 800 looks good, i dont think 10 marks is going to make any difference. its not worth going through the hassle once again, atleast in my opinion. maybe you can spend your efforts in more important things, now that u have got an excellent score.
good luck!

dont go for 800 in quanti if u do wann go go for 800 in verbal
i mean obviously u hav to take both the sections ,but the reason
must be surely for scoring in verbal

jazmt · 05-18-2005, 05:03 AM

The first section was the writing section.
I scored 4.5
Then Quantitative
It seemed slightly more difficult then Powerprep. But my guess is that it was the pressure more then anything else.
Next Verbal which went much as expected
last was an optional research in math.

For studing Verbal I found that with all of the word lists I studied, Most of the test I knew from reading high level publications (The Economist, the Classics in Philosophy and various academic journals) and not from studying the word lists. Reading a lot raises your vocabulary to a high level and it is more likely to stick with you then if you learned it through forced memorization. Of course reading also helps with reading comprehension.

In the quantitative I found the biggest problem was stupid mitakes in reading the problem and in remembering what to plug in (for instance to divide by 2 when computating a half circle or triangle) and finding shortcuts to save time. Of course theres also a temptation to be stubborn when its worth just giving up (even on an early problem if necesary)

Thanks to Test magic forumers for all there help.
Ill probably be back when I take the math GRE
If you have any questions i'd be glad to help
