hi yadav!!
first of all congrats! you are doing a great work for all gre-takers. i’m preparing for it, but not taken the dates yet. i’m in final(10th) sem. b.arch.
i’m refering barron n web sources related to it.i found all th equant. as easy, i’v gone through all the quant reviews, few were taking more than stipulated time,hope to practice them before exam.
started memorizing words. doing it with the help of flash cards.words one side and meanings on other. started with 3 words per card. then went for 5 per card.i do 5 cards, means 25 words per slot. but i’m not able to go with the pace needed. as i’v not taken the date or for some reason, the speed is not up to the mark. sometime i find the words i memorized very strange, as if i’v nevr seen them.
give me some valuable advice. as i found u to be a great counselor for gre.
thank you.

===================================================
You have sufficient time , utilize it properly.
GRE prepartion depends upon the following factors as per my experience.
[1] Your background Genrally engineering background students took one week for maths and 2 months for verbal part as i had seen them till now for 1400+ score.
[2] You reading skills and how much you are familier with english is you are much familier you can reduce time about some days in verbal prepartion.
[3] Number of hours one devotee to studies per day. generally 8 hoursper day require 2 months as i think about GRE and so on in proportion ratio.
[4] Your talent if you are highly talented the it will help you a lot.

======================================================

any other suggestions regarding the verbal part r highly desirable..plz help me out..
—————————————————————
Cracking verbal depends on the followign factors as per my GRE experience.
[1] 70% approach is how good vocab you have , must complete barrons as the basic it will help you a lot.
[2] For analogy- how well you are in establishing relationship this will coem with a lots of pratics sometimes after having good vocab students fails to control over Analogy so for Analogy pratics as much as you can from different source.
[3] For antonym inccrease vocab genarlly secondry meaning of word.
[4] For RC i think i am not the right person to suggest as they are night mare for me but still i would suggest try princton book As later on i find this book quite useful for me.
[5] For time managment Pratics as much as you can and increse vocab try to saev time for RC .
[6] For Sentence completion pratics as much as you can , be familier with transition and use them as much as youo can . and undertand flow of ssentence once you complete 1000 sentence you start enjoyng it itself.

Good luck . i hope you score 1500+.

Amit.

Hey Amit,

How are you ..I have read your article and many congrats for your grand success…Two thumbs up for you!!!

I have done my M.Sc in Physics and IT both…

I am also going to take GRE soon ..most probably in SEP second week.I have almost completed half of the Barron’s vocab …but after some time its hard for me to recall words exactly.

In maths , can u please advise me the right source to go thru for TIME , Work and Solid geometry questions. I have written GRE earlier also , but due to poor timing and lack of knowledge i cudn’t come thru. I am very much scared this time and will really appreciate if you could suggest me the ways that can help me in overcomeing my weaknesses.

Also,am very bad in Issue writing ..do you have any tip for that!!!

Thanks again for all you have done for everyone…esp/for your guidance.

waiting for your reply

Hey Amit,

——————————————————–
Mine is Not a Good score , i wish you score close to 1600 this time.
====================================================================================================================
I have done my M.Sc in Physics and IT both…

——————————————————————————
Good background i think maths wont be an difficulty for you as yu are from physics.
====================================================================================================================
I am also going to take GRE soon ..most probably in SEP second week.I have almost completed half of the Barron’s vocab …but after some time its hard for me to recall words exactly.
——————————————————————————-
[1]Till spetember you have sufficeint time , if you utilize it properly in right direction i think you been able to crack good score.
[2]Devote as much as you can preferably 8 hours per day.
[3] Dont forget to pratics actual test with in time constrain as that is the important part for the last 10 days prior to your test date.
[4]Use Barrons Picture Dictionary By Achievers point to remeber Word .
Though i never used it but i had seen it , a quite exceptable book.

[5]Try memoriziing word with example , try to use in day to day life, put efforts in more example use different dictionary like for origin of word you can use.

[6] Webster dictionary.
for noun use Online Wikipedia
for diffcicult word use Oxford online distionary.
=========================================================

In maths , can u please advise me the right source to go thru for TIME , Work and Solid geometry questions. I have written GRE earlier also , but due to poor timing and lack of knowledge i cudn’t come thru. I am very much scared this time and will really appreciate if you could suggest me the ways that can help me in overcomeing my weaknesses.——————————————————–
[1]For maths Geometry refer to Barrons geometry , princton , or if you have bigbook i think its only is sufficeint to complete all type of GRE Maths question . I prefer you to buy BIG BOOK and starts doing itsmaths question .

[2]IF still you find difficulty buy maths package of Achievers point i think 10 days package for an average student to complete it and getting confidence overmaths.

[3]If still not confident then try to improve basic concept anf tricky formula , by rading different blog websites if you have internet availablity with you.
[4]
=========================================================
Also,am very bad in Issue writing ..do you have any tip for that!!!
—————————————————————————

[1]Dont get demoralized here i was at the same condition at the starting .
[2] Start reading editorial page of newspaper , i think daily 20 -30 minute is enough.
[3] starts reading princton book very good for issue writing .
[4] Search the word document which have 500 Actaul GRE issure topic and how to crack them or ask to your friends for this help , at starting i get this from abolg site a word document now i dont know the location i think google search can help you in this a lot.
[5]is still not confident then . try tricks , like how to write first line of the all pharagraph , and how to conclude the topic in last pahara or last lines.
[6] IS still need help asl more experts or recent aaaa GRE takers .i think they can help you a lots.
============================================================
Good luck for your studies .

Dear Amit,
Tons of congratulations….! This is my pleasure to have a chane to go through your experiences and all the suggestions. I appreciated your generocity and altruism.

I am a Student of biological sicence (Microbiology). I am decided to take GRE on second half of October. I am confidend for Mathamatics, I shll be able to score 700+ at any time inshallah. But my concern is Verbal specially RC. All the time I could not manage time to finish RC in practice test. Yet, I did not complete Barrons, but I captured above 60% barrons words.

I can not think score less than 1400

I shaal be able to put 3/4 hours per days
Please Suggest me, How can I speed up my preparation so that I can reach to my dream

Suggest me about Essay writing and argument section

#54. August 14th, 2007, at 4:36 PM.

Rashid , Hi,

There are different stratigies to win over the RC , in fact they are nightmare for me, but still i would like to suggest you following things.

[1] If you are facing shortage if time, then try to read the question first then the RC dotn waste time on reading the compplete RC at first hand. this will benifit you in many ways like..

[a] if you read the RC first and then read the question to solve the question you have to read the RC again, so why you read it twice read passage only once while you solve the question.
[b] GRE question are tough bysimple reading you cant answer them rightly.so its better you read them after question

[2] Increase your scanning speed come to the point where ate question want you to stop and tehn read before and after 2 lines. it will help you lot.

[3] pratics as much as you can so that you will be familier that transitin like , if, why ,not , moreever which put stress need to be read carefullly.

[4] Read first and last line of each para carfull yas in general they conclude the passage.

I think try all this you start getting confident on RC .

Regarding time , i had posted many post above you can read them.

however increase your devoted hours from 3-4 to 7-8 hours per day if you can.. That will really help you a lot.

—————————————————–

Suggest me about Essay writing and argument section—

For this there ia a document with me which have all the answer of writng and AWA topic, give me your mail id i will forward to it, after going through it you be fullly confidnent on AWA ,

Dear Yadav,

I did see a Credit Card No. w/ 3 digit extra security no. w/ expiry date in your mail-box and also your resume w/ address, marksheets, etc. That’s why I wrote that this practice is dangerous.

Anyway my collections after analysis is as follows:

Practice Books with or without CD

ARCO’s
Barron’s
CAMBRIDGE
GURU’s
Kaplon
Peterson’s
PowerPrep, ETS
Princeton Review
Practicing to Take the General Test, 10th Edition, ETS
Inside the GRE
BigBook of GRE, ETS
GRE Practical Preview

General Web-SItes FREE Online or NOT

2. testprepreview.com
3. grebible.com
4. greguide.com
5. testmagic.com
6. syvum.com

11. 800score.com ——–very good
12. bigcdtests.com
13. barronseduc.com
14. princetonreview.com
15. bharathstudent.com

Practice Tests one should give are:

POWERPREP
PRINCETON REVIEW
BARRON
KAPLON
800score.com

Miscellaneous Un-reviewed ones: CLIFF, NOVA, WOW, AWE …

Anyway don’t work too hard for GRE, I know people who haven’t got good scores (1050, 1080 kind of) or who didn’t give GRE at all have comfortably landed abroad with just TOEFL score.

Another point is that TOEFL and GRE are like high scool exams with very high test fee, and on the other hand, JEE, GATE, JAM, NET, and other All India Exams are very high quality exams with comparatively lower fee structure.

So, Jai Hind, Hamara Bharath Mahan!

Raja Hi,

Sorry for the late reply.

[1] Depends on the individual background, and the availablity of time per day . i can say a science student , 8 hours per day requires max of 90 days to crack GRE with 1400+

[2] Verbal are easy in comparsion of all the books available in the market and the onling blog site and the online test paper.This is what i had seen during my 90 days period and the test day.

[3] GRE is not a big deal . everything is possible have courage and crack it with enough determination.

Good luck for your Prepartion.

.but how u welcome new words?
[1] read the above thread i had mention various method , hope they help you.
there are many technique to welcome the new word.

how many words do u study per day?
[1] in starting i skim through the word i think 400 per day.

[3] In the third reading i will make it 300 word pae day + the last day word.

No matters how much you cover in a days, depends on individuals so [1]whatevr suits you best do that, if 100 words suit you best then go for 100 word per day.

how u manage them?iam a biology student.
[1]all students are same for the Gre, dont get demoralized just have determination GRE is not a big deal , start the prepartion and enjoy the study.

originnator ,
In the last 2 week try to concenrtrate on the taking as much test as you can give and check your score, as time is the most important factor for GRE . make sure you will be comfortable with the timing constraint and note down your time .make revision of your vocub i think on a 3 day interwal, make a 5 revision to make you confident for all the vocub whatever you have collection ,and the last day have fun no work just relax.
