Forum: Just Finished My GRE

Well finally the ordeal is over for me. This has been a very painful 2 two months for me. I am chemical engineer in my final year from India. Just gave my gre yesterday. The results were not quite up to my expectations (as it is with me always) but then again this was gre (unpredictable). Well...

Actual GRE: V- 700 Q- 720 GRE Power Prep: V- 710 & 690 Q- 690 &640 Hello all. I would like to begin this post by stating that I only found these forums two days before I took the test, unfortunately. I really feel that I would have benefited from finding this haunt earlier, if for no...

Anyways, just got back from taking the test. I'm happy with my verbal score, but the quant is a bit disappointing. I was getting 780-800 on practice exams, so I guess something must've gone wrong on the actual test. Maybe anxiety had something to do with it, I don't know. I started to run of time...

Just finished my GRE earlier this afternoon and am glad to be done with it! I had prepared for approximately two months but still found the test harder than expected. There was no experimental section and verbal came first. I'm a native English speaker but still found a lot of the vocabulary...

Hi, I have been reading the posts in TestMagic for some time now, and i notice that all high scorers have attributed some of their success to BB (BIG BOOK). So out of curiosity i downloaded the book from on of the blogs (It has 27 pdf files all of seems to be scanned copies) and did initial...

I just took my test three days ago (Aug. 9) and was wondering what the consensus here is on how long it's typically taken for people to get their score reports along with writing in the mail? Is it different in different countries or pretty standard? I live in the U.S. and am anxious to receive...

Hi friends!:) I've just finished my GRE exam and my scores totally surprised me. This because I've never obtained such scores during my preparation of the GRE. In verbal I always scored between 450 and 500, not so high but it was acceptable score. While in quantitative I've never scored...

I am a new comer in this forum. Can anyone tell me whether the questions in GRE are repeated. Did u get any common question which u had done in time of practising? Or they give all new questions everytime with every other person... Goldust u seem to be very experienced. Can you throw some llight...

Hi, been lurking in these forums for a month now so here's my GRE experience. I am a native English speaker but had never fully invested time into much of the English language for that matter until I started studying for GREs heh ;). CS/Math Double major (790 puts me to shame ;( ) Quant: Much...

Hi, I am preparing for GRE... primarily referring to the Barron's and it is 3 years old... Can you just refer one single book which I can use as a primary source of getting updated about the new pattern?Is there any latest edition of BigBook? Please drop lines here about ur suggestion...

Hey guys... gave my Gre today... Scored 1500:).. Am ecstatic right now.. I would share my experience with you ppl... The analytical section was typical... But my advice no all test takers for whom english is not a native language(like me), would be to practice atleast a couple of essays...

I must say that I am quite disappointed in the verbal today...didn't expect myself to do that poorly. But from another way to look at it, i suppose I know where i should work even more at. So I started off my day with some light exercises from PP, nothing too big. Reviewed some of my...

I just got through with the GRE and was really confused as to why I had two quantitative sections. I did the two writing sections, then i had a quantitative section, then the verbal section and then another quantitative section. Is this normal? The two quantitative sections seemed to be the same...

:tup: I gave my GRE a few hours ago, and frankly the results astonished me. Heres what i experienced : AWA : This was pretty standard, and did not pose any problem to me as i am quite comfortable with writing. I finished the issue topic with 3 minutes to spare and the argument topic with 2...

Hello all. I was looking for a good discussion forum on GRE and stumbled upon here. I am preparing for my GRE and my exam is due in October 2008. I have been preparing for past 1 month or so but I have trouble in following: 1) Verbal - learning words. I have seen books by Barron's which is...
