How should I prepare for the GRE?

Is there a good test prep course (ie: Kaplan or Test Masters) and do you think it matter whether I take an online vs. an on-site course?

When do I need to take the GRE?

I am an International Affairs/Poli Sci double major (Hist minor, because why the hell not?) and I’ll actually be finished with all my courses and credits a semester early (Spring 2011 as opposed to Fall 2012).

My question is what timeline should I follow to take the GRE? I plan on going off to grad school to continue studying International Affairs.

Thanks! If I left out important details, let me know.

Online GRE essay marking?

I want to have my practice GRE essays marked. But I don’t want to enroll in an expensive programme just for essay marking which takes only 3-4mins. Do you know anywhere online I could submit essays for marking and feedback of just essays without registering for the entire GRE preparation course?

Help with the quantitive math on the GRE?

Can anyone give me advice on the math section of the GRE? I am horrid at math, and the best score I’ve gotten out of the three times I’ve taken the GRE is a 370. I’ve tried Princeton Review (online course and book), Kaplan’s review, and many other GRE books. I don’t know what to do but I retake the exam on the 29th of Jan. Any quick tips or helpful ideas are welcome :) Thanks!

Accent and GRE tutoring-is it okay?

an indian friend of mine is an extremely good test taker. She scored 2220/2400 in GRE. She has lived in the US for like 8 yrs but still has a slight accent. She would like to tutor (private as well as classroom sessions) for GRE prep courses but is a little apprehensive about her accent. I say she should give it a shot see how it turns out. What do y’all think?

Self-employed taxes? Can I write off a GRE study guide book?

I’m a real estate appraiser (considered self-employed) and I’m taking the GRE in February to try to get into a Master’s program so I can get a better job. When I file my quarterly estimated taxes for April, can I write off a GRE study guide book? Can I write off the 0 fee to take the GRE test, too?

I need as many write-offs as I can get since I’m shelling out most of the money I’ve made so far for LASIK surgery in March. I know I can write off 7.5% of the surgery, but the surgery is going to cost me just about everything I’ve made for the last three months, minus my regular expenses (gas, food, health insurance, car repairs, etc). Plus I have to take a few days off of work to heal before I can go out driving around again.
Well that’s great then! I thought I was going to have to eat most of the LASIK cost and still get taxed on the remainder. Didn’t seem fair to me, but neither do any taxes for that matter.
So I can write off all 00 for the entire surgery since it’s more than 7.5% of my gross pay? Gosh, then there won’t be anything left to tax me on :) Oh, if only I could do that every quarter…

Are Prep Courses (GRE and LSAT) worth the money?

I will be taking the LSAT and maybe the GRE at the end of the year. The prep courses have very high prices. I know this is important, but price tags up to 00 seem ridiculous to me. If you took a course, did it help you? Was it worth the cost? Share your experience, please.
