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 )

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…

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.

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.

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?

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!

I’d like to go back to school for my masters, and I’ve got a GRE study guide, but I don’t know how far ahead to start.

I am at work all day and it would be really convenient for me to study for the GRE online. Can anyone let me know about some free to use GRE study sites?

What do you suggest is the best GRE study guide/book etc!
