TNat97 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I'm currently studying for the GRE which im taking in 2.5 weeks. I've been using magoosh book and ETS website but still feel unprepared. My goal is to make over 310 or higher to hopefully offset my average GPA. For those who have taken it, what are some of your tips? Especially for the verbal section and memorizing definitions? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA2O18 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Do as many practice tests as you can and make sure you time yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caligal Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) Practice tests, practice tests and PRACTICE TESTS. I cannot stress that enough. Practice tests helped me immensely when I was studying for the GRE, I also used magoosh to study. Edited May 27, 2019 by Caligal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FromMic2Meds Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Any practice test? Are there specific companies/websites advised? And how long did it take to study, for those who have already taken it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia5827 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Might be too late to do this but when I was studying I also read books. It really helps me in the verbal sections, which I suck at. Reading just jump starts my mind and I did that for about one to two months prior to taking my test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia5827 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 And read good quality books not chicken soup for the soul or anything like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paPassion7 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I improved my reading score by 5 points just studying the vocab flashcards from Magoosh. Some people recommend not trying to learn as many new words as possible, but that's the only thing that worked for me. I also had a Magoosh premium subscription and never really watched or study any of the reading videos and was still able to get 5 points higher.

Burritobenito Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Magoosh!!!!! Also use the free practice tests you get when you schedule the test. Simulate test conditions by wearing earplugs and reserving time so none is bothering you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
