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 think I need the most help with the math or quantitative section. I plan on using Kaplan GRE in a Box (verbal) to improve my score and to sink in all that vocab. However, math is a different story. I learn math by doing tons of problems but most prep books only have a couple. I took algebra, geometry, and calculus awhile ago and did well but I don’t remember most of it anymore. What SPECIFICALLY is on the GRE quantitative section??? How can I practice several GRE-type problems??? Should I take a quick math course (like a 5 week one)???? HELP!!! I need a score of at LEAST 1100 and scored like 900 on my practice one. Also, would the MAT be better??

PostHeaderIcon Is this enough time to study for the GRE exam?

1 month before-every day. I suck at math and don’t really know any of the vocab. So I’d be doing extensive studying for the month. What do you think?

PostHeaderIcon 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!

PostHeaderIcon Kaplan GRE prep and CAT exams?

Hi, I took the Kaplan GRE prep course and am really happy with it. I was wondering though if anyone took the course recently (including the CAT exams they offer on-line) and the actual GRE. Did these CAT exams really reflect the GRE? did you score similarly? Were the antonyms more difficult than expected or less (I’m working on studying all the Kaplan vocab- around 500 words. is that enough??)
I appreciate any feedback- as you can see I’m freaking out b/c of this exam!!!!
Thanks!

PostHeaderIcon Where can I find a good online resource to study math for the GRE?

I am planning on taking the GRE in a few months and would like to brush up on my math. I have found good online resources for vocab but have not had the best luck finding good websites to study math. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

PostHeaderIcon What’s the best book/website to learn root words to help build vocab for GRE?

I really didn’t know it, but I have found, after starting to study for the GRE, that my vocab SUCKS.

I’ve got one of Barron’s GRE books, and I’m signed up for 3 of vocab builder websites on the net.

I think learning root words will help me more than anything… as opposed to memorizing the dictionary!
