Hey guys...Thanks for the congratulations...i have a few people to thank myself... 1)GRE_Kickboxer...Thank you soo much...I never got more than 760 in my practise tests..And i realy doubted if I would get more than that...Your tests on TM really helped me out.. 2)Everyone on TM..You guys are a bunch of really helpful,intelligent people...[clap] And here is a piece of advice...keep doing the GRE powerprep software all the time...I got 2 questions from there in verbal... And sanjay ..I wrote the test in dubai...I stay in dubai actually... Just keep calm and be positive..the verbal is pretty easy too..I got words which arn't really outlandish... All the best everyone...:tup:

Hey guys...I took my GRE today....and yes I was very apprehensive regarding all these rumours floating around...how tough its become?...ETS has put in induction and all that crap...Its all a bunch of bullshit...Math is just like the powerprep cd and Kaplan...questions arn't difficult ..they are just plain tricky...like you should not make the careless mistakes ...for eg:..I got a question that stated find all the integers whose square is less than 100...here one should not forget to count negative numbers as well..thats alll..otherwise its realllly simple...the only BUGGIN part was that I got an experimental QUANT section ...and they dint tell me it was experimental...crazzzyyyy:mad: PS:I got a 790 in Quant..

OMG...you are really something GRE_Kickboxer...Thank you for all the wonderful practise you are giving most people... trully invaluable...

hmmmm....well thats true...Thank you GRE_Kickboxer and Michael....will have to try and be more careful in the future...
