1280 : Q800 + 480... Crestfallen..........

[knmaheshy2k]

Here goes my D-Day experience... gave gre yesterday... score stands as above.. quant 800, verbal 480... when i saw the the score i felt like kickin that computer and bangin my head against wall......

My story goes like this... September 1 week i thought i'll write gre, booked date on sept 3rd... before bookin i asked various friends that is 1 month enough for me get a good score.. they told yes... so booked my date for October 1st week.. My verbal was so bad that i got some 300 in my diagonstic test which i took... then bought barron's n started preparin on my own.. Quant was never a problem for me...I didnt touch one sheet on quant gor gre... i didnt read even the formulas... verbal was my nemesis...
How much ever was possible in 1 month i tried to prepare... visited this forum thrice in one day n started answerin questioons posted...

On the whole i was not tat dissappointed bcoz with 1 month's preparation how much more can i except??? Anyways therez nothin more.. seeing the score i wanted to run out of there... but some crap formalities like sending scores n all..I put some 4 universities.. IIT, Arizona, Missisippi and kansas.. thatz it.. nothin more to tell.. if there r any questions lemme know..

I'm not goin to apply with this score as gettin aid will be problem.. So i'm givin gre again in next feb or march... Thanks for all those who supported me.. n hope that they continue to support... Finally i live to FIGHT ANOTHER DAY..

That's funny (I mean the title of your thread). I just took the GRE today and the word crestfallen came up in one question. I didn't know what the hell that meant... didn't care though.

When did the first RC questions appeared? Do you think the barron's list is enough? Could you please share your experience?

Sorry, man, I'm an econ applicant, so I didn't care much about the verbal section. I've never seen the Barron's list.

1st rc came around 12 for me... the problem concerned with barron is that if u know usage of words along with their meanings then u r saved... else take it frm me by just muggin u can get a score around 1250 to 1350.. but very low chances of betterin it... so decide wat u wanna want..
