Hi Chirag,

I am going to give my GRE in NOV second week.

I was thinking of giving it since a long time but was not sure because of my job.

So I finally took a date thinking ill start studying at least then.

So now I have like 2 months, I’ll also be doing my job alongside so consider 12 hrs of

my day wasted there. I tried coming home and studying but it is very di�icult.

Is there any hope of getting a good score? or shall I be postponing my date?

The material I have is all the notes from a class (IMFS). It contains notes on Verbal and

Quants.., a few flashcard apps and e-books (which I am not so used to reading) (I have

Magoosh GRE Prep, Manhattan 5 lb. Book of GRE Practice Problems). I have not joined

any classes as such. I am terrible at vocab and reading too.

Can you throw some suggestion as to how do I go about with my preparations while

doing my job at the same time. And what all topics I need to focus on and spend time

at the most along with the most essential materials required (because ill end up

having a lot of things and then just end up messing up and not doing anything

properly.)

Karthik

Firstly great article!!I am going to start preparations for GRE and I just gave a Princeton

practice test just to see my level before I start.I got 313(165-Math,148-Verbal). I am

pretty confident in Quants but I really lack vocab knowledge.How should I go about

preparing for verbal if I want my score around 330-335 range?I will be giving GRE in

another three months time.Please suggest articles and news journals to have an

extensive verbal knowledge.

Hi Chirag,

I just landed here in Indianapolis last night along with my husband & i’am currently on

H4 visa and i’am thinking of giving GRE on 30th of May for the fall 2014 . I’am planning

for Indiana-Purdue ( IUPUI ) UNIVERSITY . So basically i just have a month to study.

Could you please help me out with some tips and tricks,time-table,study schedule,etc.

Although i hold a strong ground in vocab bt i can’t say the same for Math i.e quants. I

lag behind in this area. Could u pls.help me in any which way.

Hi anushree, I am sorry to say but you are way late for fall 2014. I think the deadline
