of 28 years and my family is forcing for marriage because after completition of MS I will be of 30 years but I want to continue for education.Hence I am not confident what to do plesae guide me.

I need to take the GRE to get into graduate school. How hard is it? What do I need to study? Are there any ways you can suggest to prepare other than the Kaplan study guides (I already have those)?

I am studying to take the GRE at the end of this month. However, I’ve found that most of the GRE study guides only have questions and explanations, but no rules to memorize, which really helps.

A few years ago, I studied to take the Praxis I with a book that really helped me score high. I liked that it broke everything down with rules to memorize such as the area of circles, triangles, etc. as well as basic rules for percentage problems and ratios.

I was wondering if the math sections of the GRE and the PRAXIS I are similar? I wanted to study using the same book, but wasn’t sure if it would help…thanks! )

On the physics gre ets guide, they list a series of mathematics areas i have to be very familiar with:

boundary value problems
differential equations
vector algebra
complex analysis

i really don’t want to spend my time re-reading entire math text books when i’m studying for the physics gre. So can someone tell me what aspects of these subjects i need to know?

if you have any other advice, feel free to relay it as well..i could use all the help i can get!

thanks

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…

Don’t tell me princeton review, as I discovered the hard way that its only a scam as well as the other study guides. So how can I learn all that potential vocab and learn how to master those word problems in a practical, my last scores were embarrasingly low, all that studying I did was for nothing, please help!

how to score more marks in GRE

From anyone who has taken it this year or at the most a year ago…What were the best study guide books for them (e.g. Princeton, Barron’s, ETS…etc.) Same for the Psy. subject test. Thanks!

Guide me on how to prepare for GRE and TOFEL exams so that i can get a very high score enough to join top USA univ.
any references (books), syllubus, and info on how to prepare for it will be very welcome.

I’m thinking of purchasing a few study guides online to study for the GRE. I’m wondering if it would be alright to purchase older editions of study guides from a few years ago. Were there any changes to the test that would deter me from buying an older edition? How far back can I go?

Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone out there in cyber world,

I live in the UK and am at a UK university for my undergrad degree. Next year I’d like to go to grad school in the US so I gather I need to sit some extra tests to apply for that- the GRE general and the GRE physics tests. Since this concept of extra tests for postgrad study is completely alien to me over here I think I will need to get a couple of study guides for these two tests. I was hoping to sit the tests in mid November since then that should give me a month to get results back and complete applications for the earliest deadlines.

Could anyone advise me on the best study guides to get? There seem to be a few on the internet available. I need something that explains the whole sort of principles of these tests as well as tells me everything I need to know (or at least outlines it in enough detail so that I could then use other books). There isn’t anyone over here who knows anything about these so I can’t just pop along to ask what I need to learn next. If these requirements aren’t all met by one individual book then are the perhaps pairs you’d recommend?

Also, any study/exam tips? How much onus do the universities place on these tests? It would seem strange to me that they would consider them more important than the grades you have been getting during your courses for the last 3/4 years?!

Thanks for your help

I am planning on going to graduate school in the fall of 2008 and need to take my GRE sometime between now and October. However, the test is being completely revamped in August and it will no longer test the old material. I had originally planned on studying this summer and taking the test in August, but it is no longer offered then and the new study guides won’t come out until mid-July. Should I take the old, time-tested version, even though I won’t have as much time to prepare for it as I feel I need, or should I take the new version this September?

Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Sir ,I am in dote to join M.S. degree in Computer Science at US.Please help me to know which university to join and whether it is possible to get scholarship for this score.Imay kindly be replied as early as possible .Moreover I have completed M.C.A. and bachelor degree through distance education stream.I am working in Department of Posts,for the past 6 years.Please guide me to move ahead.What about the job opportunity after the completion of M.S.?

I’m taking the GRE in a month. I have looked at a few study guides from the library, and browsed through an online practice test. I haven’t been in school for almost 10 years now, and I can’t remember any of the math I once knew–I’ll be fine on the verbal portion of the test, but I really need help with the quantitative section. Anyone have any recommendations?

I know the answer depends on each indivdual person and their background, but I’m just curious as to how much time you all studied for it. I bought the Barron’s Guide to the GRE and the 10th edition guide from ETS. I am taking it on Sept. 28th in order to start grad school in January.

I have to take the GRE near the end of November. I have around 5-6 weeks to prepare (I know, not that much time!) My university had been offering free classes for prep but for some strange reason they all ended last week and they don’t seem to be offering a new session. So that plan has been shot and now I need to prepare on my own, which I hate doing. I think I would learn best from doing a CD program (I did this for the ACT and my score was amazing); one with little exercises and progress or whatever. I especially need to have good practice at this math because I tested out of all the required math hours for my major so I haven’t studied math in 4 years. I am great at math, but it is all forumula memorization/practice and I since it has been so long I really need to review this. Any suggestions, anyone know of just such a computer program? Where can they be bought- Barnes and Noble? Best Buy? etc… thanks for your help!!

Hello friends, I like to do my Phd from National university of singapore. I completed Master of Science in Marine Biotechnology got guide’s approval to do PhD under his guidance. Myself from India. Whether GRE is compulsory in Singapore. I have masters, whether they provide waiver for GRE. I had got Guides approval in NUS. Please clarify my doubt friends. Whether we can do our English placement test in singapore.

I’m looking for books to help study for the GREs (both general and biology subject exams). If you’ve used a book to help study, which did you use and was it helpful?

Also, as I’ve been reading comments on amazon.com for the different books, I’ve noticed some confusion about books not being compatable with the ‘new’ test. I can’t seem to find any info about the ‘new’ test. Is this something I need to worry about with which book I buy?

Gonna study for about 1 month and need a good overview.

Im trying to get at least a 1000
