  1. Hi Krystal, Thanks for your reply and for a detailed insight into your preparations style. I am taking the exam on 25th October, and I am also looking somewhere above 90 percentile in order for my application to be competitive (I do reckon that it sounds a bit silly to get such a good score in such a short time for me). My strength is Molecular biology and Genetics (I can easily do all the questions given in the practice paper barring a couple here and there), my cell biology is okayish type, and the weakest part is Biochemistry (I consider myself lucky if I can answer more than 10 questions correctly). I have been studying Biochemistry from past couple of weeks, and as the time is running short so I am focussed merely on the topics mentioned in the practice paper. It is till a long way to go, especially memorizing those cycles. I have heard about Kevin Ahern's lecture before, and have checked out his videos, but I guess I am more of an reader mindset than a listener (which was one of the reasons of my low G.P.A. in my undergrad, as I would doze off during the lectures). I can grasp better if I am reading something. I will check out the link suggested by you, and I have also messaged (PM) you my email. I haven't actually attempted the practice paper yet in an examination style, only had a look at its pattern, and have checked out genetic questions only. The only questions that I am practising right now are the ones given at the end of each chapter in Berg. So, it's an uphill task for me considering the Biochem and Cell biology part. Trying my best to get the topics covered in the shortest possible time. It's a race against the time for me. Best wishes for your exam, Manjit Cheers!
  2. Hi Everyone, I will be taking GRE Biochem exam in coming month of October to get PhD in Human Genetics. My situation is that I have only 50 days left for the exam. I am currently studying from Stryer for Biochem, and Griffith for Genetics and Karp for cell and molecular biology. My M.Sc. GPA is 3.3, but sadly my undergrad GPA isn't stellar (it is below 3), also I don't have any relevant work exp. or any publications, therefore need to get a good score in GRE in order to get short listed. I have gone through many of the previous posts which I have found really helpful. However, it would be really kind if someone can suggest any ideas to get a good score in such a short time. Much help and advise is appreciated. Cheers!
