Ahem.....who are you to decide if I'm average or not? Just because you made a 1560 in GRE, does it mean that you are superior than all.... Did Greedge teach you that... I'm sure they would've.. they would've asked for your pic and for your interview so that they could boast about their academy with scores of their students.... No one has to teach Greedge about marketing strategies.. So a person like you, who thinks that the world is at his foot, might tend to think he's some celebrity because he's been asked for a picture and an interview.... Funny world which thinks that ending up with a score greater than 1500 in GRE is the greatest achievement that mankind can ever encounter. A very close friend of mine who made a 1580 in GRE with a splendid Undergrad GPA, various other extra curricular activities and publications, got into Berkley and was much more humble than this.. There's lot more to life .... Its not like you have achieved everything in the world... Only through the blessings and good wishes of people can you achieve greater heights... remember that... Don't think that the world is at your foot just because you scored a 1560. Even Steve jobs would be more humble than you.... LOL And for the last time.... What i intend to say is that... You did google search for greedge reviews, whether you found this website on the first page or the thousandth page.. So indeed you have been supporting Greedge by finding all bad reviews and trying to save their name...(you were the one who said that you google searched it). I do not have any necessity to reveal my name... why are you interested in finding out my name? Do you want to report it to Greedge so that they could contact me and try to ENHANCE their software and make improvements regarding SFA's by feedback...? However hard Greedge tries, they definitely can't do much about their SFA's who can hardly understand our doubts and clarify it in simple English. It's one's personal wish to create profile names. Who are you to question that? Do you own this website?( even the website's moderator has no problem with my profile name). If you have something against my content, you can question me regarding that.. But getting into trivial details like profile names is too amateur... Get a Life! Thanks to friendofafriend for initiating this thread and others like shan23..... god job guys.... God be with you :)

Mr. Shalimar, how did you find this website? Looks like you have just posted twice and that too only regarding Greedge... This factor is proving a lot against you. Your claim of not finding this website through google search seems weak. Your profile: View Profile: Shalimar - Urch Forums There can be three possibilities 1)You might be Shalimar in real and the Greedge people might have come across these reviews and might have asked you to create an account in the name of Shalimar just to "ENDORSE" Greedge 2)You might be Shalimar in real, who has indeed google searched for reviews and found this website. 3) You might be just another Greedge Employee, trying to promote the Academy

"happy to endorse"???????? So are you the brand ambassador for Greedge...? :-D "And it is not that I went to the thousandth Google search result page and ferreted this thread out" ( well honey, you don't have to visit the thousandth google search page to find this thread.... the first google search result page for "greedge reviews" can land you in this website. ) beware, don't catch the shadow and let go of the substance( well, i do agree to this proverb , but not in this situation... If the shadow is misleading, then it is wise to let go of it) "unlimited practice tests it offers".... this was the trap i fell into.. practice tests do not have questions in the GRE format.......... It's way too tougher and consumes more time. And Greedge does not provide the accurate score range. Well if people really want to join Greedge , then I can't stop them nor do i have the necessity to do so. I'm just voicing my views. Take it if you want to. :) IN A WORLD THAT BELIEVES IN DARWIN'S THEORY OF "SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST", IT IS BETTER TO BELIEVE IN YOUR OWN ABILITIES, RATHER THAN BELIEVE IN MISLEADING EXTERNAL SOURCES! BE WISER PEOPLE.... LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES AND TEACH OTHERS NOT TO COMMIT THE SAME .... AFTER ALL GENEROSITY AND HELPING NATURE IS WHAT SETS APART THE HUMANS FROM ANIMALS

For heavens sake, people, do not give your full credit to Greedge if in case you had enrolled there and happen to score well. It's plainly your abilities. You would have still done well with preparation from Barrons ETS,Princeton,Kaplan,Big book, Novas.... You do not need any guidance from any SFA or tutor when you attempt questions from the books i mentioned.. They have clearly explained the concepts as well as solutions. There is no way you could get confused. Greedge makes sure they give you tough questions so that you tend to think that the actual exam is hard, invariably you ask your SFA's for help.. These SFA's pretend to be angels, trying to give you solutions for questions which take 4 or 5 mins to solve. They use stupid marketing strategies. At the end of the day, we become the losers with low confidence levels, thinking that the real GRE questions are as hard as the ones on the Greedge website.. I'm pretty sure all of you have faced this. They try to lure people by posting the scores of those who have done extremely well. Do not fall into the trap.. Make this thread more active by posting more reviews. Let the Bare truth be let out.!!

Priya Rani..... LOL So Guys, this review is written by A SFA from Greedge who has poor communication skills( only SFA's of Greedge can explain things in a roundabout fashion) OR Some student who is too enthusiastic about her gre score, owing her credits to Greedge, disregarding her own capabilities Ever tried Lays chips, KFC Chicken or went to some five star hotel,Drank COKE or PEPSI they too have bad reviews, but still people take it. When something / some institution becomes famous, they start getting negative reviews by a few who wonder why it has become so famous( Local Mentality) (LOL.......... What a comparison!!!.... If in case you are a student who is going to the U.S, refrain from such terrible sentence formations and justification through baseless, illogical examples) Please don't damage a institution which had changed my life, my way of being optimistic and bringing back a smile in my parent's face .... (Dear madame... your grammar is wrong... It is supposed to be "bringing back a smile ON my parents face" ) Money is not at all important for a guy who is going to America! What important is " QUALITY of EDUCATION" (grammatical mistake again.... its supposed to be "Whats important is " QUALITY of EDUCATION") (well .... money may not be a big deal for a person who is planning to pursue his/her studies in the US..... But no one would like the fact that they are being fooled by some online academy like Greedge..... it hurts their ego) I saw many reviews here, tho few of them are true but others are baseless and are just exaggerated . Common Guys, give your true reviews. Let me share a few of my own views (Well Fraulein....... What does common guys mean...? So what are you..... Uncommon? LOL...do u intend to say "Come On guys"?... If you desire to show off your American slang capabilities, then better learn the proper usage, else you would become a laughing stock in the U.S) I too saw the stories of some of the student who got gr8 marks, it inspired me! I was doubtful if they were true or fake! I checked their name in facebook as well as my GRE advisor made me speak to one of the students who told me how he made his maximum use of GRE edge (you too saw the stories........ ROFL....... You have the capabilities to see stories.... ohhh ... but we people only have the ability to read them.. hmmm.... you must be some wonder- woman or cat-woman) You have the rights to say your views and I too have, but it doesnt means that you can keep on repeating your own bad views again and again. If someone says good about something, do appricate his/her contribution! (It doesn't "MEANS"?... haha........ Americans are gonna have an awesome time being with you) Sitting in home and watching a screen or sitting in a class and listening to a lecture can never bring you good score, you need to recollect, practice and first of all make the most use of it! ("Sitting in home?".......... Hey guys do you all sit in home? haha....Again madame, It's supposed to be "sitting at home".... Didn't your verbal SFA train you for AWA and didn't she notice your poor grammar? well she wouldn't have , cos she has poor communication skills herself....... LOL) "I don't understand the mentality of you people! Scared because it is online?" (why should we be scared because its online?.... If we were, then none of us would have joined Greedge in the first place and write these reviews... The trends are changing and in fact people do their shopping online.. So no one is SCARED) And Priya Rani, we have no necessity to slander the reputation of Greedge.... We have all discussed about our experiences with it! And the verdict still holds and there will be maximum support for it VERDICT: DO NOT JOIN GREEDGE...... GET YOURSELF A GRE STUDY PARTNER AND WORK OUT FROM BOOKS LIKE PRINCETON, KAPLAN,ETS, BARRONS...... WORTH THE MONEY AND THEY HAVE FREE SAMPLE TESTS WHICH HAVE INTERFACES SIMILAR TO THE REAL ETS GRE UNLIKE THE SICK GREEN COLORED INTERFACE OF GREEDGE) Source: My experiences with Greedge First time i gave my GRE, I had enrolled at Greedge.. I scored terribly... I had prepared for unnecessary, hard questions in quants and learnt concepts which were out of scope and the interface was very misleading Second time , i got wiser and decided to prepare on my own with books written by American Professors who have researched well about the ETS question types and strategies to tackle each question type I scored 100 more in each section compared to my first attempt. So prepare from books like Princeton,Barrons,ETS, Kaplan..... Worth the price and their sample tests are very much similar to the real tests and they can provide you with the exact score range that you are likely to end up with, on the real GRE exam) IN A WORLD THAT BELIEVES IN DARWIN'S THEORY OF "SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST", ITS BETTER TO BELIEVE IN YOUR OWN ABILITIES, RATHER THAN BELIEVE IN MISLEADING EXTERNAL SOURCES! BE WISER PEOPLE.... LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES AND TEACH OTHERS NOT TO COMMIT THE SAME MISTAKE.... AFTER ALL GENEROSITY AND HELPING NATURE IS WHAT SETS APART THE HUMANS FROM ANIMALS

Ya....... Pls do not join greedge... If u don't wanna be fooled like how i was...!! This is a warning to all!!! Hope everyone comes across these reviews before they join!! I hope they close down the company as soon as possible before students throw stones at them. And i don't think it is Mr. Shalimar who has posted below... It is one of the greedge guys who have posted it in his name... (very smart!!.... but we wont be fooled) After all I'm sure Shalimar has better things to do other than searching for bad reviews about Greedge and trying to save its name!! You can try some other strategy, greedge.... We are not kids to be fooled !! This is a warning to people who plan to join.... DO NOT JOIN.... THESE PEOPLE USE MARKETING GIMMICKS.... THEIR VERBAL COACHING IS DISASTROUS AND QUANTS COACHING IS RIDICULOUS... SFA'S ARE TERRIBLE... THEIR WEBSITE LOOKS HORRENDOUS AND THEIR USER INTERFACE IS HIDEOUS!!! THIS IS THE FINAL VERDICT!!!! DO U WANT A BETTER REVIEW THAN THIS?

Your percentage isn't tat great... Not to discourage you, but universities don't just look at gre scores... A person who scores 1600 and has an average gpa cant get into the top tier universities.! Anyway u can try

ya greedge isn't good......... 1)the company is run by a pack of glib talkers who make sure you use your dads credit card for online payment... first of all...... the website looks sick... 2)second, the interface does not look like the real ets gre interface. 3)Then i found that they teach a lot of unnecessary stuff in math, which is not required for the test 4)the questions that they have in their database looks tough and takes atleast four mins to solve... in the real gre u should be solving questions in a min. 5) The SFA's dunno wat they are saying and cant convey stuff in simple english WARNING: IF U EVER FIND GOOD REVIEWS ONLINE ABOUT GREEDGE , ITS BECAUSE 1) YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE GREEDGE WEBSITE WHICH BOASTS THAT THEIR STUDENTS ONLY SCORE 1500 AND ANYTHING LESSER THAN THAT IS A SHAME( NICE MARKETING STRATEGY) LOL!!! 2)YOU ARE LOOKING AT WEBSITES WHERE THE PEOPLE WORKING AT GREEDGE WRITE REVIEWS LIKE THEY WERE STUDENTS WHO WERE BENEFITED BY GREEDGE DO NOT JOIN GREEDGE!! THERE ARE NUMEROUS BOOKS AVAILABLE AND NOTHING IS BETTER THAN HAVING GRE STUDY PARTNERS!! SOURCE: MY EXPERIENCE WITH GREEDGE

awesome effort....... good that u have shared it with people....... i appreciate your generous nature......... And i suppose , it took such a long time to type this... lol... I hope people are benefited by this :encouragement:

first, i can find a few grammatical errors. Second, i feel that this essay is structured in an erratic, roundabout manner.... you keep repeating the same kind of content in different types of sentences...! third flaw: i find that you are quite fascinated with Indian personalities like Sachin tendulkar and Dhirubhai Ambani.. But sweetie, this is not an essay you will be submitting to the indian Government. It would be better if u could talk more about internationally acclaimed personalities which would make the essay look like it has a global appeal. Anyway good effort.......! try to work on your flaws and accept the flaws that others point out.... if u work on it, you would go places... All the best for your future God bless :)

huh??????????? are u kidding? don't believe stuff which are false......... and don't go by websites which do not have authentic stuff........ and no one knows what the frequent answer is........ its unpredictable.......! even if u r friends with someone working at the ets, they cant help u with this question...... Its better u try hard answering the verbal questions with your aptitude skills and probably you can guess the answer for some questions....... when i mean guess, i don't mean wild guesses... i mean the intelligent guesses......... it's easy to score a 1000 with your own skills rather than following stupid strategies that websites give!! work harder.... nothing is impossible

oh maybe u r lucky.......... i never found my test easy......... i scored well on my powerprep , but not on the real test........... it was much more tougher than powerprep......... powerprep has questions which even an eighth grade student can solve!!

congrats!

this a forum where ppl can share their experiences but they shouldn't be leaking out questions........ ETS will be taking severe action and would ban this website for violation if they happen to know... Better be careful........ ur action can bring about a lot of trouble to sincere students who use this useful forum in a proper way.! be wise!

hey Msquared.. great quant score :tup: can u please tell us how many questions should be answered right, in quants for a 750-800 range? thanks in advance.....
