    Please help me.

    I am not an expert. :/ if you are thinking for a long term planning with good score (i.e. for the year 2015-16/ 2016-17) then go for 6-7 months preparation. That's what I am doing.:) Did you check that blog? Magoosh? I am sure you will get all your answers there. Here All Posts by Category | Magoosh GRE Blog you will get the answers for FAQs. TBH, I myself got to know more about GRE from Magoosh, while searching randomly on the net. Then, I found out this class in my city. Good luck.

    Please help me.

    Hello :) I just started my GRE Preparation yesterday. For Quants, I have joined a private tuition. The Official Guide to the GRE Revised General Testby ETS & Manhattan GRE strategy guides are good books to begin with. ETS is cheaper than MGRE set of 8 books but it is worth every penny, you can buy only the one you need, or whole set. There is a cool website, Magoosh GRE - Online GRE Prep and Practice Questions with Video Tutorials ; it's awesome! If you are a video learner I suggest you go there because it looks pretty promising. Magoosh also offers study plans: GRE Study Plans and Guides | Magoosh GRE Blog also, they have released book reviews for GRE 2014 GRE Book Reviews 2014 | Magoosh GRE Blog . They are really great, I have not tried their service, but I do follow Vocab Wednesday on YouTube. They also have their own guides for GRE Prep A Complete Guide to the Revised GRE, GRE Math Formula EBook & GRE Vocabulary EBook which are free! :D Here is the review of Magoosh http://higheredublog.com/magoosh-review-is-it-really-worth-buying/ There are many other services as well. Princeton, Kaplan offer online as well. There must be some good classes in your locality as well in your locality. Best luck!
  3. Hello I am from Arts background (India) & I don't have any touch with Math. After 10th Grade, I barely studied Math. It has been three years without that complicated Algebra. Right now, I just took a dummy test for GRE and the only questions I could attempt were of percentage & comparing areas, etc. It made up hardly 3-4% of the whole test or even less. I know, GRE Quant is NOT Math. It's logical reasoning and other BEEP! The problem started during my 10th grade. I never liked my teacher and so I sucked at Algebra. I regret it now, but it is of no use. I don't know how do I start liking Math again. I am pretty good at Verbal, but I don't want to score low only because of my Mathematical anxiety. From next month my coaching will start. (I joined class because I need a teacher no matter what the subject is.) What can I do now? I still have 1 week left before facing all the numbers and symbols. I am ready to give my 101%, only if I had the courage to face Math after so many years. How do I start liking it? At this stage? I am planning to take GRE this year, during Nov.-Dec., so I have time enough to practice but what about now? When should I start? Will I really be able to stop-disliking Math? Please help!! :( :( Feel free to PM me for details. I desperately need sound advice. :(

    College Tour

    I have attended an online Tour of KCL, UK. It was decent. I am very satisfied & all my doubts are cleared. :) The link you provided is not working. I hope the questions are similar to these: (1) What percentage of students live on campus? (2) Do you and other students like the food in the dining hall? (3) What does it take to graduate in four years? (4) What is the average financial aid package like? (5) Do a lot of students go abroad? (6) When do you have to decide a major? (7) How easy is it to change your major or concentration? (8) How much time do students spend on homework per night? (9) What is the professor to student ratio and how big are the classes? (10) What types of jobs do students get after graduating? Via: Top 10 Questions to ask at a College Tour | Plan For College It was my first Virtual (or even a normal) getting-to-know-what-it-is tour. I was satisfied. The staff talks to us rather than copy-pasting webpage links. I guess many universities now offer a Virtual tour. You can try if your respective university has introduced this. It is good for students who are leaving their native country to study abroad & don't want to spend excess money over travelling. A physical tour is always preferred but if they are offering Online, try for it. The counselor from my country emailed me to know what my doubts are and then she directed me to that particular booth. It was my choice then to explore the all booths or just be on that booth for further clarification. There were many students like me, from many countries. KCL staff was really good, it was really nice.

    Hello!

    Serious note: I am new to GRE (seriously, I had no idea that there is some entrance exam for grad schools in US, till I was serious to study abroad & did a research; this took place 2 months back). I don't have a good relationship with Math, I suck bad at it but I am willing to give my 100% to get a decent GRE score. :shy: I am starting my GRE Prep next month, my tuitions are for 6 months (20 weekends). I hope that will be enough. UG Student. Geography at Graduation. University of Mumbai. The awkward ME: I am just an ordinary bookworm & cat lover! I love pets and I support Animal Rights. I love learning languages. I speak Español, Русский, Deutsch. Literature student at heart but I love exploring the world & Physical Geography more than reading. Meh, that's enough. Yeah, that's it. -ein Socially Awkward Penguin
