Hi there, I was able to get resources but they are very dated. Like Manhattan Prep but 2011 editions. I am wondering if these older versions would still be good for prep? I think maths obviously would not have changed much, but wanted to hear from you all on this. A bit confused here!

If anyone needs original mcqs of GRE with answers for practice before exam you can hmu in dm and I ll share them with you

So I have started my GRE prep few days ago and I plan to sit for the exam within next 2/3months. I initially started with 2months plan, as I didn’t brush up my foundation since my high school, I think my foundations are not that strong now and not able to complete daily tasks that are given in the plan. So I switched back to I am overwhelmed plan and so far I like this plan.

My question is, if I stick with this and complete the plan, is it going to be enough to score 170q and 160+ V? Did anyone recently followed this plan? Does this plan cover everything/completed or do I have to switch back to 1/2months plan after completing this one?

Any suggestion according to my situation is much appreciated. Hope greg will clear my doubts.

Thank you.

This one I thought would be a2= 18*30 but turns out it isn't so at all.

I started using the set method for this, however I failed after a point, I said okay 28 total number of dogs, but I didn't crack this.

How common are these on the actual test? Does anyone have any real examples from ETS?

Hi Greg, I’ve been using your platform for a few months now and found it to be super helpful. I was wondering if you do offer private tutoring on the side at all Thank you!

Hi there! I’m reaching out to inquire about next steps after my initial test.

I got a 328 (170 V, 158 Q) today. The score wasn’t too surprising (I’ve gotten 170 in my mocks for Verbal and oscillate around 160 for quant). I’m happy with the score for an initial attempt, but am unsatisfied with quant. Candidly, I felt taken aback by the quant - there were a lot of questions where I didn’t know the next steps. There were other questions I could have gotten, but ran out of time due to spending too much time on other questions (the graph ones in particular). Overall, I left the test feeling like I got pretty pummeled by the math - which was a good wake up call that I need to become much more comfortable with it (and better at time management).

For preparation, I’ve been studying since October with the 2-month GregMat plan. I found the plan incredibly helpful overall and it was critical for keeping me on track. I did the Mountains and plans pretty thoroughly (and know the different formulas), but I still feel weak overall on quant - like I’m missing the application layer of quant (taking what I’ve learned and applying it to new situations). Basically, I know the concepts (or at least think I do), but I struggle to connect the dots. I studied economics and am solid at Algebra, but am definitely not a math oriented person.

Given this, I’d love to hear what people recommend prior to my next test (Feb. 24). My current plan is to not focus at all on Verbal (other than refreshing vocab), and then spending most of my time doing practice quant problems, practice tests, and then re-learning any concept I miss during that. Is there a better way to approach it? One of my concerns is that I really thrive having structure (I loved the I’m Overwhelmed plan for this reason), so I don’t want to go completely off script for the next three weeks.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, i want to attempt my gre by august/september of this year and i am thinking of getting gregmat+, my baseline scores are around 163Q and 148-155V and i am aiming for 330+ (325+ at the bare minimum). i can dedicate about 3 hours a day. So what study plan would be the best for me as i dont see much info on this on the website.

I was thinking of getting the 2 month plan but it might be too fastpaced (?) and i am not sure if the im overwhelmed plan covers everything or not.

Hey folks. I'll keep it short here. I'm interested in a Masters in Finance and this is what they want from me. Can someone here give an estimation on how achievable it is?

"As an alternative to the minimum GPA, holders of a bachelor’s degree from a recognized university-level higher education institution may present a current  Graduate Record Examination® General Test (or GRE® Test), provided the results in the areas of “Quantitative Reasoning” and “Analytical Writing” are among the top 30% at least."

Hi,

I did my GRE three day's back at a testing center and I had multiple pop ups come during the test, that were really loud and threw me off. On the pop-up it was stated "unauthorized access...." (can't exactly remember) I just waited them out and didn't bother telling the proctor, which is a mistake by me. Now, I don't know how much this impacted my score, but it was worse than during my PowerPrep-Tests. Should I write an email to ETS to get a refund or retry for the GRE? idk, if it would go through as I didn't warn the proctor during the test. Any advice on how to proceed?

I got a 139 and 140 on the GRE so that’s 279. What I need is a 280 how does analytical writing boost my score after it’s done being looked at by people? Please tell me it boost me over to 280.

Didn’t Manhattan practise test bundle cost $50 until last year? It has increased to $150 now!? 😭

Where can I find affordable mock tests (except gregmat)?

Been trying to login for some time it's not working. Anybody else facing the same issue? [From India]

Apart from ETS official mocks, what are good sources for practising mock tests? I am struggling with exam format pressure, so need to do 5-6 mocks before my official exam. TIA!

Hello fellow aspirants, looking for serious study mates. I am planning to give in first week of March, right now scoring around 309. Recently started my prep, have only a month to crack, so need fellow partners who will be similarly serious in preparation. I am looking for accountability that is we can give daily progress updates or share important information or tricks. All those who are serious for preperation in February, and looking for a system to stay motivated and away from procrastination please connect.

Yo, so here’s the deal: I’m lookin’ for a study buddy to grind the GRE with ASAP. I got a 319 back in September last year, but I’m coming for that 332+ in March 2025. I need someone who’s down to put in work, swap tips, and keep each other motivated. Let’s hit those practice tests, share the struggle, and level up together. Time’s ticking, so if you’re serious about hitting big scores, holla at me! Let’s get this done.

Can someone please help me understanding my PP1 score. Verbal section - 7 right out of 12 and 10 right out of 15 Quant 10 right out of 12 and 10 right out of 15!

I saw a google spreadsheet but im not sure as to how to calculate the final score

Even though I've memorized 900+ words, I am still underperforming in the Verbal section. It's because there are words that I don't understand, in the question itself and also some in the answer choices [which are not in vocab mountain] . I've been using gregmat to prepare, are those 34 columns enough? If not where can I learn more words from?

I never studied during schooling and in colleges i avoided the every possible way and used to get bare minimum marks on quant. But now i need a good gre score at least 165Q and 155V. After preparing for GRE about 7 to 8 months, I went through Khan academy, prepswift , overwhelmed plan and took many quizzes. Made note of everything I have notes filled with 3 or 4 notebooks. I was getting around 295 to 315 on mock test. Today i give my exam and received 146V and 156Q. Of course dissapointing. But I wont give up. I will work hard again and want to give my exam after maybe 2 to 3 months not sure. I can spend 4 to 5 hours per day studying. What should I do from now on? About 2 days ago, I did gregmat flashcard quizzes and received the following score.

1-4: 85%

5-6: 66.67%

7-8: 86%

9-12: 66.67%

13-17: 72.23%

Is this the foundation issues. I have made 2,3 carless. Mistakes on each quiz.

On verbal side, I have memorized more than 2100 words gregmat list including 34 gregmat list and others. And I have also did a delebrate practice of each quant strategies.

I have used a following materials 1)Most of the Gregmat quizzes, prepswift, overwhelmed plan, gregmat easy, medium and half hard problems. 2) 5LB except geometry, DA, Combinatorics and Probability. 3) All ETS materials 4) PPP1 and PPP3

And I have made a extensive notes and tried to do the debrate practice of each techniques and still i am ended up with this score. Please advice me what I should do for next attempt?

Hi, I am currently preparing to study for the GRE. With that said, the requirement for the program I’m trying to get into is a Verbal GRE score in the 50th percentile or higher. Can I just take the verbal section of the GRE? Has anyone done this before and was it accepted?

Hello! I will be taking the GRE sometime this year for DPT school applications.

I’ve looked for the online materials provided by ETS, but I want to ask if the book is worth buying? As well as purchasing those online study materials?

Also, what should I anticipate for the in-person exam? How long is each section approx. and how long did you all take for each section?

Thank you!!

Ive scored 170Q/150V/4W Twice now, and really want my verbal to be in 160s. I have my submissions before Feb 20, is it possible to increase the score till 330?

Used gregmat and greprepclub - gregmat for 1.5 months and greclub parallelly for around 3 months.

For Quant : I had a strong foundation in Quant coming in but I followed Greg's advice of tackling it from the ground up and got more familiar with some concepts and learned some formulas which helped me speed up during the test. In my experience, maintaining a formula notebook was very helpful for quick revisions and going through the Quant foundations in gregmat was very helpful. I did a bunch of questions from greprepclub along with the tests offered by greprepclub - 4 verbal and 7 Quant tests in total is what I did I also did all the mini tests on gregmat along with some of the quant timed tests (wish I had done more of these - did less only because I noticed them 2 days before my test).

For Verbal: Learnt all the words from vocab mountain in gregmat along with some of the synonyms there. Learning the words itself was a huge boost to my vocab because it helped me comprehend the passages better too. The words were a huge game changer for me. I watched a couple of the reading passage videos and all the must-watch videos on gregmat. I learnt the techniques for sentence equivalence like pairing, etc and the techniques for reading comprehension and text completion too. I also completed all the skill building for pairing and reading comprehensions too. I practised very few questions for SE and TC on greprepclub, but did a lot more for reading comprehension.

I did the ETS free test and Greg's 3 tests as well. I also did the Manhattan test and Kaplan full test. This was my first time giving the GRE and I might give it again to improve my verbal or try my luck at improving Quant, but hopefully my experience will help someone out, like how this sub has helped me so far.

Thank you so much for everyone who has posted advice so far and all the best for everyone giving GRE in the future!!!

Feel free to DM me for anything else

I need a urgent study buddy so that we can give our 100% to gre and avoid procrastination and motivate each other.

Dm asap.
