Best way to prepare for the GRE?
November 27th, 2010 |

Hi and welcome to my blog,
I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his GRE exam.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great Gre guide that helped me a lot
So study hard and good luck!
Ok, I took the GRE several years ago but I am retaking it in October. This time I have accomodations due to a learning disability (math) that was undiagnosed at the time. So, I am hoping that this time around it will go better. It sucks that I need to retake it seeing that I have taken quite a few graduate level courses and maintained a GPA above a 3.0. Just so you know, it’s to get into a wildlife biology program.
I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on how to prepare for the GRE in 13 weeks. The writing part I think I can do fairly well on and get at least a 4 or higher. What is a good way to remember words that are commonly used on the GRE? Are there in suggestions on how to better prepare myself on the math portion? (Sad, but true…I just taught myself how to do square roots without a calculator.)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
GRE Math Questions..please help!?
Hey everyone..
I just took a practice GRE and I’m not sure how to (quickly) solve the following questions without a calculator..any help would be greatly appreciated.
1) Which is larger: 100,210 X 90,021 or 100,021 X 90,210
…I know how to multiply them (obviously) but there has to be some quicker way!
2) Which is larger: Sqrt(10)XSqrt(5) or 7.
The only way that I was able to figure this one out was to simplify it to 5XSqrt(2) and then "roughly" multiply 1.41X5. Is there not a more simple way to find this answer?
3) Which is larger: The greatest Prime Factor of 3^5 or the greatest Prime Factor of 5^3
any help on any of these problems would be greatly appreciated!

Help with percentages on GRE questions?
I’m pretty handy with my shortcuts in math but is there something I’m missing here?
Mary received a net of 5 that was 65% of her gross paycheck.
A- Mary’s gross paycheck
B- 0
The answer is they’re the same, but how are you supposed to figure that out without a calculator?
