I am currently preparing to take the GRE exam. I have decided to probably go with either the Princeton Review or a similar type of course for preparation. I am the first person to pursue a graduate degree in my family, and I also had to work full time most of my college career. I had 2 very bad car accidents during college and my transcripts directly reflect the series of obstacles I faced throughout this time so I feel that it is EXTRA important that I do well on this exam to help my chances of acceptance in addition to great reference letters, statement of purpose, and additional volunteer work and research. I would appreciate any test taking tips, suggestions, and positive feedback to help me mentally prepare for this exam.

I have taken 2 preliminary practice exams the first one i didn’t do so well, the second I did ok… but I want to prepare in the best possible way. On a side note I am more of a visual learner and I do way better on essay exams, but have been working on my multiple choice test taking skills and techniques.

I definitely can use the support and feedback and would love to know about others experiences with this exam.

Best wishes & thanks for your time and help!

Does any one else agree that ETS praxis tests are a Corporate scam?

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?

When should the GRE exam be taken? I am a college Sophomore and I got an offer for GRE practice?

from The Princeton Review and I am curious as to whether I should take the offer now or take another opportunity later on in my undergrad career (Junior/Senior year).
Thanks for the answers guys!!!

Are these books sufficient for GMAT preparation? Or are the excessive?

- Official Guide for GMAT Review 11 and 12
- Official Guide for GMAT Verbal Review
- Official Guide for GMAT Quantitative Review
- Kaplan Premier Book with cd
- Kaplan GMAT 800
- Kaplan GRE & GMAT Math Workbook
- Manhattan GMAT Sentence Correction guide
- Princeton Review

Do i need to buy the math workbook? Or is OG quant enough?

How close are the practice GRE's to the real test?

I just took a practice GRE online and did really, really bad on it. I got a practice book from the Princeton Review and have been studying for about 2 months. My test is in a week and a half and I’m freaking out about it. The grad program I’m applying for is Speech Pathology, which requires a GRE score at all the colleges. So my question is, how close are the practice GRE’s to the real test? Will my practice score reflect the approximate score I may get on the test?

Is 1050 a bad/low GRE score?

Is 1050 a bad/low GRE score? I took a Princeton Review prep course before I took it but got a really low score, so I took it again a year later studying on my own for 4 months beforehand. I really don’t want to take it again. I’m just really bad at taking standardized tests.
I want to apply to International Relations and Global Affairs programs.
I want to go for my Masters.

GRE: Kaplan vs Princeton Review vs PowerScore?

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

GRE prep question? Help please?

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?

Is the Kaplan GRE practice test accurate with actual GRE test scores?

I purchased the 2008 GRE manual which includes a CD with practice tests. I scored a 700 math and 470 verbal on the Computer Adaptive Test. I was extremely surprised because I missed several of the math questions. With Princeton Review, I scored a 610 math and 490 verbal. Are these tests accurate? Do they predict how someone will perform on the actual exam? Thanks!

GRE preparation – has anyone used online tutors, such as TutorVista?

Hi – I plan on taking the GRE this October and instead of the super pricey Princeton Review course I’ve been looking at test prep given help by tutors online such as TutorVista. Has anyone used them? Are they credible, did it help? What are the other best test prep methods you’ve used?
Thanks much!

If I’m taking both the GRE and the MCAT, should I take a preparatory class for both, or do I need just one?

I don’t know how similar the two tests are, but I was thinking I could just sign up for a Princeton Review or a Kaplan course for the MCAT and that might also prepare me for the GRE. The courses are very expensive.

Also, if you recommend that I take a prep class for both tests, could I take them at the same time?

Do you think it is necessary to take both tests? My situation is difficult because I plan on going into the Peace Corps before I go to graduate or medical school, and I’m not sure which I want to do at this point, but I want to take the tests before I go into the Peace Corps, even if I have to take them again later.

Any help you could give me is greatly appreciated, I can’t find information about this anywhere!

Help with the quantitive math on the GRE?

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!

What’s the best way to study for the gre without depriving yourself of your life?

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!

Anyone want to share their experiences with GRE prep courses?

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?

Which GRE prep courses are considered the best, and the worst?

I would love top hear personal experiences with some of the more popular (and unpopular) prep courses, like Princeton Review, Kaplan or Testmasters. Also, has anyone heard of MILC? They guarantee a score of at least 1300 on the GRE. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

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.

What is the best GRE preparation book?

What is the best GRE prep book? Kaplan? Princeton Review? Barrons? what?

Studying for the GRE CAT exam: which of these books is more indicative of the current gre cat tests?

Barrons

Any tips for preparing for Bio and General GRE?

I am about two weeks away from taking the Biology Subject Test GRE and four weeks away from taking the General GRE. Does anyone who has taken these tests before have any study suggestions? I already have the study materials from Kaplan and have the Princeton Review Cracking the GRE guides on the way. Would it be a wise idea to go back through my notes and texts from my undergrad courses and re-read these? Any and all tips would be GREATLY appreciated!

Is 2 months long enough to study for the GRE and do well?

I have an 8 week study guide from the Princeton Review, but some people say you need 6 months! In all reality, am I kidding myself to think I can do well just studying 8 weeks? I study everyday for hours…
