I’m graduating college on the 20th of Dec., and I’m taking 15 hours of credits, and working 40 hours per week. I just decided to move to a new city a few days after graduation, and I have to apply to the grad school program by Jan 13 in order to start in August. I’m worried about the GRE because I don’t have time to study properly for it. I found this Kaplan online course for 99 bucks, it gives you 28 days to practice/study. Will that work? I looked at a book in the library for the GRE and I missed 9 of the first 12 practice questions. I’m also terrible at math.
I have no minimum score requirement, I just don’t want to look stupid. My GPA is a 3.58, but I’m struggling through this semester and will probably end up with Bs and Cs because of no time to study.
When you take the praxis ll english: Content knowledge, you’ll realize that the test has been advertised as but includes a registration fee as well making it 5 dollars. I’m so sick of ETS, I also took the GRE using study guides from kaplan and princeton review which are misleading and uneffective. The praxis ll study guides for english are worthless because the actual test is based on reading comprehension. ETS is a scam but what can we as students and prospective teachers do about it?
I am on the verge of taking the GRE for the third time this coming December. I just took it today for the second time and I bombed it severely more so than I did the first time. I am currently applying to doctoral programs (one in which I have applied a first time and was denied due to my scores) I have been studying with the Kaplan book, but I cannot afford to take the test prep course. I study fine at home, but when I go to take the test everything blanks and the words become more difficult to read and understand. I then become frustrated. I do not know what to do. All prep courses cost entirely too much, and I greatly desire to enroll in my I/O Psychology programs of choice. Does anyone know of a program that does not heavily weigh GRE scores as this is my only week point?
First of all, I would like the say that according to me (a Chemistry major), the verbal section of the GRE is a horrible way to evaluate what you learned in college or how well you will perform in graduate school. I’ve never seen the word INVECTIVE in my college career, and how would this word help me to do research in chemistry? I’m a bright student with a high GPA (3.87) from a well-respected university in Florida, but I’m really struggling with my verbal skills. Every person has their weaknesses. I just took the GRE and I only scored a 400 on the verbal section, and I believe that this was WITH luck, as I completely guessed on the majority of reading comprehension problems at the end of the section because I was running out of time. Overall, I think my performance on the verbal score should be somewhere in the 300s. I studied for the GRE for a few weeks using the Kaplan book.
On the antonyms and analogies part of the verbal section, they gave me some words that I’ve never seen before in my life. (What the hell is a “DONNYBROOK”?!!!). They expect me to know these words. How am I supposed to know these words? Do they expect me to memorize an entire dictionary? Because I’ll do that if that’s what it will take to get these questions correct. I also struggle with the sentence completions. They said everything I need is given within the sentence. However, I DON’T SEE IT!
The reading part of verbal section is another story. It is very different than reading Chemistry and other books in college. When it comes to some random passage, I’m a TERRIBLE reader, and my reading comprehension is really bad. I’m also not that fast of a reader. I read a random passage and I have no idea what it means. Or I read a passage, I have some idea what it means, but when I chose the answers relating to what I think of the story, it turns out that my chosen answer has nothing to do with the details of the passage. They recommended that I should read high published articles like the Wall Street Journal, but it doesn’t work for me.
Anyways, I’m going to take the GRE again to try to get at least a 500 on the section so that I can get into the Chemistry program I want. This requires me to increase my verbal score by 100 points, maybe more, because remember, I think I got lucky the first time! I hear people getting 500s on the verbal section and they believe that their score is bad. Believe me, I would DREAM for that score.
Do any of you have any suggestions that will definitely help me raise my GRE verbal scores to get the score I want? I’m willing to accept all reasonable solutions. Any study guides, techniques, classes, or other motives will do.
So I took the GRE last week after self-preparing for about a month. I got a 720 on the quantitative and a 440 on the verbal. I think I just choked on the verbal and feel that I could do a bit better; probably closer to a 500. This score is good enough for my master’s program but I really would like to go for my PhD one day and generally a total score of 1200 is desired. My question is; should I take a Kaplan classroom course or just try and do it solo with some GRE prep books etc.?
I was wondering what the best way would be to prepare for the GRE/GMAT? Kaplan offers courses, but I really didn’t want to spend 00 as oppsed to for the study guide.
Any ideas? Has anybody used the study guides exclusively?
All, I am trying to come up with a study plan for the Math GRE subject exam and would like some advice, preferably from those who have already taken it or tutored test takers, on how to prepare for it. I am aiming for as high a score as possible, and I minored in math as an undergrad. I would be especially grateful if anyone could recommend specific textbooks or study guides to work with beyond the Princeton, Kaplan, REA, Rudman, et al., subject test guides.
people whose English is not a natove language. I have to take GRE test i don’t know what is the best way to prepare for it. I bought myslef Kaplan book but i’m not sure if it’s enough. Any oline resources maybe? Thank you all…
Pls advise how you studied if you did?
For acing the GRE – what is the best PAID COURSE I should take between Kaplan, Princeton Review and PowerScore?
Please don’t write an answer telling me I don’t need a course, it’s a waste of money. I saved up and plan on taking a course and need your opinion.
AND PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE TAKEN ANY OF THESE, TELL ME HOW YOU THINK THEY DID
I’m planning on taking the GRE. Kaplan and Princeton review and other prep courses seem to be really expensive. Are they any good? Any recommendations to prepare for the test? Is it worth paying the 00 + for the prep course? How about the online courses?
I have the ‘08 ed. of the Kaplan study guide, and the flashcards. I’m making my way through the book… and I know most, if not all the words on the flashcards. Do I need to get a book in addition to this one (like Princeton), or was just one book enough for you? I just want to take the test once, but I’m anxious about it.
(I should be taking it maybe in August or early Sept.)
Gearing up for the test, any advice on study guides? ETS, Kaplan or Princeton Review? Also, if I were to take a prep class Kaplan or Princeton Review? Comparable or one better than the other? Thanks!
I want to go to grad school and I am wondering what GRE test prep books you all have used. Im guessing that the Kaplan books are the best, but has anyone tried any others.
I took kaplan prep course for GRE last summer. If I sign up for Lsat prep do I get a discount?!
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)?
Are courses like Kaplan and Princeton review worth the cost or will the published books with sample questions adequate?
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?
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!
So the 3 books that I can’t decided between are of course PR, Kaplan & Barrons and I’ve heard a lot of good and bad things about all of them. I’m not that bad at math already so a book that isn’t too amazing in the math section wouldn’t be too bad. I do need a REALLY high score in the writing and verbal sections for the graduate program that I am going to be applying for. Which book would you recommend for a high writing and verbal score? Also, should I bother buying the CD with the book?
Has anyone taken or knows someone who has taken a Kaplan program or used an equivalent program to prepare for the GRE? Which course did you take: Instructor-led or online self-study? Did you feel it prepared you better than studying on your own would have? Do you feel its benefits were worth the cost to enroll? Thanks so much!
I’m looking into taking a GRE prep course, but would like to hear from people. Good, bad? Kaplan, Princeton Review, other? Private tutoring, online tutoring, alternate methods?
Did you find their methods helpful? Bad? Did you get your money’s worth? Did you get the refund they promise if you don’t raise your scores?
I am looking EXPERIENCES about the prep courses. I know a lot of people just say study from the books, there are online things, etc. but I’m trying to gather as much information as possible.
What type of prep class, in-class, private tutor or online, did you take? Who taught it (kaplan, princeton review, etc)? Did you like it? Was it helpful?
- Thanks
I don’t have time and can’t afford to do the kaplan classroom course. I was wondering which is better Kaplan or Princeton or whatever else you know of? Can you please tell me why it’s better? Thanks, I appreciate it.
GRE online prep courses, in-class prep courses, etc. and by who? (kaplan, princeton review, etc…)
What was your experience with the prep course you took?
By who and and what type (online or in-class, private tutor)?
I’m trying to figure what might be the best GRE prep course. I saw MLIC on the internet and it looked like it would offer the best training, but when I looked them up on the better business bureau website, they were not listed. Do you know if they are legitimate, and as good as they claim to be? Better than Kaplan and Princeton and Testmasters and Powerscore?
