Hello . There is no exam that cant be passed.\nGRE is not an exemption. People have done GRE & passed well; you can & would be one of those if you chose to.\nFirst,  you need the right attitude to see the possibility of doing well.\nThen you need to get as many study materials as you can.\nCheck GRE website:www.gre.org, you would find some sites that could help.\nI believe you can make it. \nDo you?\nAll the best.

Use good test taking skills. Get a good night's rest before the exams. Eat a healthy breakfast (lunch). Go in prepared and confident. Bring the materials you need. Take your time and answer carefully.\n\nAsk your teachers/professors what will be on the exams, and what formats they will use (multiple choice, true-false, matching, short answer, essay). Study carefully. Anticipate what questions will be on the test and what you will be expected to know.\n\nGood luck!

It is hard. If you can afford to, I would recommend getting tutoring or taking GRE prep classes. Good luck.

The best practice are those emulators that simulate the test. Books are good for general vocab review and math review, but they don't simulate the actual testing environment well.\n\nThe trick to the GRE is that your first few questions are critical. From there, your score is narrowed down with right answers getting you harder questions and wrong answers getting you easier questions, until a score is decided by the computer.

You can probably find free preparation materials on the Kaplan website. Otherwise, you can download the GRE Powerprep software off of the ETS website when you register for the test.\n\nGood luck!

What methods can I use to prepare for tests?\nOrganization is very important when you have a great deal of information to study. I recommend these methods: \n\nReview your old tests. Make corrections if you have not already done so to avoid repeating your mistakes. \nGo over your class notes. If you do not understand something you have written, or if you have "holes" in your notes, ask your teacher for help. \nTry to anticipate the kinds of questions your teacher will ask on the test. Make out some sample questions or even entire tests. \nReview the chapters in your textbook that the test will cover. Pay particular attention to boldface terms, chapter summaries, and questions in the text. Most important of all is the recommendation that you understand there is no easy way to prepare for this kind of major test. After all, the time you spend in preparing should pay off when you do well on the test. \nSet aside time each day to work on your subjects. Even if you are all caught up, spend the time to go over notes or your textbook. \nTell your teacher that you would like to talk about your progress in class, and ask for suggestions on how you can do better. \nGo to the library and check out books that are on the same topic you are studying in class. \nPay attention in class no matter what is going on around you. This will be hard, but if you can concentrate on what your teacher is saying you will learn the facts and skills that you will find later in tests. Keeping up with homework and participating in class are very important. \nAs for tests, here are a few suggestions to help you: \n\nTalk with your teachers about your concerns. They really want you to do well and are more than willing to help! \nWhat type of test is most difficult for you? Do you do better on essays than you do on multiple choice questions? Decide which type of test gives you the most problems. Then you can learn techniques for taking that kind of test. \nAre you studying effectively for your exams? Here are some ideas that will make a difference. \nMake sure you know what material will be covered on the exam. There is nothing worse than studying for hours only to find out you were doing the wrong chapters. Go over your notes. Do not wait until the last minute to study. Try to tie all your information into a big picture in your head. Visualize information. Get a good sleep the night before, and eat a nourishing breakfast. When you first sit down to a test, start answering something, anything, immediately. Once you start, you will be on a roll. Do not get discouraged!\n\n\nOR\n\n\nGo to a nice, clean, neat desk in your room. If you have paper junk and leftover pizza slices on your desk, studying will not be the biggest problem on your mind. \nMake sure that you have all these study supplies: a pencil, a notebook, books to study, and good old-fashioned silence. Unless you're completely positive you work better with music, turn off the stereo. Focusing is hard enough without Beyonce telling you "you make me lose my breath". \nGet out your pencil, notebook, and book to study. Brace yourself. \nOpen the notebook and book you are studying. \nRead the chapter or whatever you have to study in your book. Concentrate. \nWhile you are reading you want to make notes of the little things. Make it short enough so that you can study it. Make short little breaks now and then (think half an hour of studying= 5 minute break) unless you're cramming, and in that case, good luck to you. \nGet a friend, Mom, Dad or someone to test you on what you have just read and studied. A key here would be to make sure that the person has a fair amount of patience. \nDo this every night until the day of the test/quiz. Depending on what you're studying and how much time you have, give yourself assigned time slots. \n\n\n\nTips \nYou need peace and quiet for all the steps above (or at least, they greatly HELP). \nYour attitude greatly helps the outcome of your study

Yes it is possible. Many of my students of GRE got more than 1500 by the preparation of only 25 working days. But it depends on your existing level. In normal case it need 2 month to prepare. Your required score demand 16 hours a day for three months extensive preparation (for above average in logics and reasoning minded student).\nFor more details you should visit  http://www.admissionglobal.com  ,  http://www.catzone.org  , http://www.entrytest.com and download preparation material as well.

Make sure you have a comfortable area to study where disruptions will be minimal.  Have all your work materials ready.  Plan your work and work your plan (sorry...but the old adages worked for me when I had to study and complete 2 grad degrees) and most of all...\n\nJust Start to Study. The sooner you start the sooner...you know the rest.

Here's what you do.  This is exactly what you have to do, so pay close attention:\n\n1) Figure out every possible thing that might be on the exam.  \n\n2) Figure out the exact way the questions are going to be asked.\n\n3) Figure out what the A students and grad students are focusing on.\n\nThen, of course, get the answers.  Make sure you can remember them.\n\nIf you don't know these things like they're second nature, you're not ready for an exam.  If you need help, get it.\n\nStressing out and cramming might help a little, but you're much better off using your head.

Don't get nervous!  Just focus and take deep breaths.  Try to visualize your notes or the material that you studied.  Also, don't get hung up on one question and waste the whole time.  If you aren't sure of a question, put a little dot next to it and go back.  In fact, as soon as you get the exam you should go through and answer all the questions that you are absolutely certain of.  Then go back and tackle the harder ones.  You should also eat a good breakfast or lunch so that your brain can focus on the exam material instead of on how hungry you are (but don't eat or drink too much right before for abvious reasons!).  Hope this helps you!

if you're taking a computer-based exam, get the computer-based review.  there are several timed tests to give you an idea of how the test works.\n\nThere are really only verbal and math sections.  familiarize yourself with the types of questions and the manner in which the GRE solves them.\n\nThere really isn't much else you can do.  by this time you will either do well or not.  Studying facts will not get you a significantly better score, especially since it is trying to test intrinsic aptitude.

search for the particular program that you want in the school of your choice and under the admissions section it will tell you whether the GRE is required for that program. I would say that i would take around 2 months to get fully prepared for GRE - there are ALOT of vocabulary words that you need to memorize and get alot of experience with.

You're probably thinking of the GRE, the Graduate Record Examinations. This test is required for entrance into most MBA and graduate programs. There are plenty of online courses that help you to prepare for the exam. Just do a simple Yahoo! or other search for "GRE Preparation" and you'll find plenty of classes.

GRE is graduate record exam . .it's like an SAT but for people who have finished a 4 year college degree and want to apply to grad school.\n\nTOEFL - test of english as a foreign language . . . is a test for non-native english speakers to determine if they have an adequate english proficiency for coursework in english.

According to extensive research, the GRE is a better predictor of success in graduate school than the SAT for college. Also the GRE is one of many factors for gaining admission into graduate school. Your transcript carries the most weight,  followed by GRE,personal statement, letters of recommendations, and then if you're a science major, undergrad research.\n To concisely answer your question, I don't think one test can determine how someone will perform in graduate school.\nIn fact, some graduate schools only consider the GRE if you are applying from a school that the Committee has never heard of(US News and World Report 2005 ranking of Graduate Schools, Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon).\nYour best bet is to make sure you have a good transcript.\n In all, I think someone's transcipt is the best predictor of success at the graduate level.
