    How to Start

    According to the people who have given tests successfully and suggested by a friend, WordHacker is a nice software to prepare for Vocabulary, there you have Barron's list and some other lists also can add other word lists, and also you can browse images related to the particular word within software. Also, do add some gadget in you Cell phone to practice vocabulary on the go, some of them are GRE Guru, Wordy 2.0, and Barron's Flashcards (you can google them and download them) or any other which you phone does support.

    How to Start

    Mahrukh, I think you should visit "Just finished my GRE" section and get an idea what did others do to prepare for the exams. these are the ones who have given GRE, so try to get some sort of input from there that what did they use to study and what did they find more helpful to prepare for the exam e.g which Book? which preparation course? what ere their strategies or plans of action. There, others give their comments and ask the test-taker to tell his specifics regarding test and many other questions, so all I can say is after visiting that section you'll have an idea where to start from as you have a picture in mind how others started and then finished it successfully with nice scores. And yea, start from Vocabulory and get Bigbook for practice (to be used after you know what GRE is and get overview of topics used in GRE), for Math I believe Barron's and Nova GRE Math Bible are nice ones and for vocabulory again Barron's and also get some Flashcards (Kaplan flashcards), Kaplan GRE verbal book has "GRE Word Groups" and GRE root words and also nice tactics to solve questions but first learn Vocabulor and Math content (topics like Arithmatic,Algebra,Geometry,Word Problems, Graphs & Charts for Data Interpretation), and also Reading Comprehension (read The Economist or/and New York Times, or editorials Wall Street Journal or/and any other useful resource) as far as RC is concerned do learn how to read fast but with understanding (there are some strategies but need practice). for Analogies you need good vocabulary as well as know the relationship between words (well explained in Barron's and Kaplan verbal book). But first start from Vocabulary (maybe 30 to 40 words per day or as much as you can, try to make your own sentences and maybe make flashcards and record your sentences using Anki software) and at the same time review and do Math exercises on daily basis and then at weekend try Practice Tests from BigBook. Hope this helps! cheers
  4. @Sweatie84 Ok, I am in despite the fact I have a field job. What tests are you talking about? Practice tests or Wordlist tests? please! mention tests u r talking about. By the way! what do you suggest about the book to start from? Should I start from Barron's or Kapla or Princeton's Cracking the GRE?? Which one do you suggest? And please! let me know if there's some software which contains High Frequency GRE words or BigBook wordlist or Barron's wordlist or all of them. And yea, guys PM ur skype IDs. Cheers
  5. And yea! as mkchatz suggested let's start from High Frequency GRE words and make our own Anki flashcards and beat vocabulory(Antonym,Analogy, and SC) once for all.
  6. Hey! guys put the most important and commonly appeared GRE words (words that you learn) into Anki software and make your own Cards, and yea do write your own (made by you) sentences into the Back of the card. If possible do record that sentence with your own voice (but it should be clear and make sense :)) and share with others so that we all can share our own ideas and learn from each other. Who is in???? Let's beat and kill the beast--> GRE. @mkchatz, you are right but instead of competing with each other let's all fight GRE together and win it with high scores :). What do you guys say? any thoughts, these were just 2cents from my side hehehe! I really hate to cram all these obscure words, so I am going to fight it no matter what and I will kill it for sure :). Cheers, Atif
  7. Planning to write in Oct 2010, but how to make study group if we love far from each other? online study group? or looking someone from your location?
  8. Congrats! man, and please! do share your strategies in detail and what material did you use and what material do you think is the best one for GRE preparation and also what was your progress in practice CATs or questions. If possible, do share your strategies for each topics(Analogies & Antonyms, SC,RC,PS,DI, AW, and etc.). Than you for sharing your experience.
