Thanks guys.Im glad my second attempt went well.This is how it went. The issue was somethin to do about whether traditionalism can coexist with modernization.The argument was pretty easy. I then got the quant section.The questions where very wordy but simple.Ran out of time towards the end.I dint get any cordinate geometry,sd ,median mode,probabilty.I got a few ratio and proportion problems.profit loss problems a few geometry problems.Overall the problems were okay,just be careful about the time. The verbal was next.Most words were from barrons.A few i remember are flippnacy,sybarite,spartan,hedonist,mutable.The rc's were of 30 lines ,95 lines and 30 lines,in that order.Make sure u do all the anotonyms ,analogies and sentence completions as fast as u can,cos the time saved can be used for rc's. For prep ,i mainly did barrons,big book(very imp). cbts (kaplan,cambridge review,princeton review,nova's) Some tips for prep- practise from the big book(both the verbal and quant) the big book quant is definately easier,but each paper has atleast 5 sums worth solving. this translates to 2*27*5 questions. do all the cbts that u can get hold of Nova's gre prep is good.Its got a lot of good tips. Be familier with all the different hit lists(barrons,nova,princeton) visit testmagic daily.... thats all guys.all the best.

thanks greenhorn

A good one iknow of is www.number2.com.Do you guys know any other sites?

Asphalt has already replied to my question.Just wanted to make sure.Has anyone heard anything else on the retake policy.I have booked my retake on the 19th of september.

Its just that tan,cos and sin sometimes help to solve problems easily.

Hi guys.I got this question in my gre.the two columns were a:x intercept and b:y intercept.I still think the answer should be c.Awaiting your replies.

Thanks asphalt.

Hi guys i took my test on aug 30.the gre site states- "You may take the General Test (computer-based and/or paper-based) only once per calendar month and no more than 5 times within any 12-month period. This applies even if you canceled your scores on a test taken previously" Does this mean that i have to wait 30 days or does it mean that since i took it in august i can take it anytime in september.Are there any minimum number of days betweek 2 gre tests.thanks.awaiting ur replies.

thanks for the advice gurpreet.i'll reply soon.

Thanks guys for all ur replies.Could someone enlighten me on the retake policy of ets.thanks

The cordinate geometry problem was pretty simple ,now that i have finished the test.It was basically taking the tan of an angle.I ended taking the cos.The problem was simple , its just that at that time during the test,my mind just went kaput.The other problem was a comparision question about a line having a slope -1.it was a comparision question.column a:x cordinate column b:y cordinate i think its c. I would like to say that the quant was not tough.It was easy ,its just that i messed it all up.i kinda took quant lightly.just practice and u'll do well. about the score , iam intrested in doing a program in computer science in.networking.Do you think its enough.Do colleges look at the overall score or the breakups. also wanted to know how much is 710 in percentile.is it reported in the official scores that u receive from ets.also how long does this take.
