PostHeaderIcon Should I buy a GRE study guide with or without a CD-ROM?

Looking for info on gre preparation classes, gre preparation courses,gre test course and more?

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!



I will be taking the GRE in the fall and I am looking into books that will help me prepare for the test. I have decided that I would like to get the basic Barron’s GRE study guide. However, I do not know whether or not I should get a book with a CD. I know I will be taking the test on the computer. What should I do?

PostHeaderIcon I want to become a landscape architect

I got my bachelors in Studio Fine Art and would like to become a landscape architect. I do not have any real experience in the field, but i will be taking a CAD intro class at the local community college to better my chances of getting into Grad School as well as a GRE study course. My question is, should I try to get a second bachelors in landscape architecture or will it hurt me when trying to find a job? My GPA from school was 3.1 the last sixty hours and I am still struggling to write my letter of intent for Grad school. I’m not even sure if its that good, seeing that i don’t have a whole lot of experience. So would i have better chances of getting into a BLA program or a MLA program? Also if any one could tell me how long it takes to get a second bachelors it would be a great help.
Thank you!

PostHeaderIcon GRE and PRAXIS I?

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! :o )

PostHeaderIcon 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…

PostHeaderIcon High GRE scorers, I need some advice–best ways to raise my score, etc?

I took the GRE last year and prepped on my own. I didn’t do well at all on the math, but my verbal was above average for my field. Of course I’d still like it to be higher! I didn’t get into grad school so I’m giving it another try. What is the best way to improve your score, in your opinion? A GRE prep course? Just using a GRE study guide? One on one tutoring? Also, how much time did you spend studying for it? Thanks.

PostHeaderIcon gre study guide?

I was checking my college bookstore and I found a few GRE study guides. There was a general one, a Kaplan, Barrons, Princeton Review. Which of those would be of the most benefit? If there is a different one give me the name of it, and any other suggestions for studying. What about the LSAT I’m going to start studying for that as well. Thanks.

PostHeaderIcon GRE Study guides…do I need the recent publishing?

I have two GRE study guides that were handed down by friends along with the vocabulary booklet. Both of the study guides are the 2007 edition. Would these suffice or should I buy the newer editions?

PostHeaderIcon are older GRE study versions ok to use?

I don’t want to spend the money on a 2008 GRE study guide. I can find a really cheap 2007 one. Do the tests change THAT much? I’m guessing that the main concepts of the test are the same….would I perhaps worsen my score by using the older version?? any advice on this? thanks!
