Get really good at those problems where you have to organize things, like planting corn, potatoes and beans this year- what do you have to plant next year. I don't like those at all and didn't do very well. Good thing I did well in math and the comprehension problems.

I took them 50 years ago, but I had 680 math and 720 English.  My GRE was higher, so much so that I was called into a Dean's office and congratulated for having the highest GREs of anyone taking them from Columbia College that year.  Then he asked me why my grades weren't higher.

What you need to do is contact the scools that interest you and ask them for their median GRE score. The closer you are to the median, the more likely you are to be accepted. Being above the median could result in added funding/support, so higher scores really do make a big difference in your future. Unfortunately, 820 is very much on the low side. Consider re-taking the test after reviewing some math concepts and improving your vocabulary. Learn as much as you can about the rules of a computer-adapted exam. Check out some of the free seminars offered by your local Kaplan center for tips and strategies. Good luck!

Once you register for the GRE, you can download the software PowerPrep. This is the only online free resource that I know of. I bought a book that came with practice questions, tips, and a CD with full length practice tests. Good luck!

Most schools will look at the highest overall score, although some schools will pick and chose, using your highest score per section. Cover your bases by calling the admissions office of each school that interests you and asking that question. You will feel much safer and the whole process won't take longer than an hour. For more information, attend a free "admissions 101" seminar at your local Kaplan center.

While you can get information on-line about the GRE, you're not going to be able to take it on-line.  Educational Testing Service (ETS) requires that these things be proctored, meaning you take the exam at a specific time with one or more people watching over the proceedings to make sure that nobody cheats.  You might find some proxy services that will administer the test in foreign countires, but it's something that you're going to have to sit for.\n\nGood luck with it!\nmz

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.

be a wide reader.. review your past lesson. concentrate it. try to drill. you need to apply the speed test. buy or borrow books that related in your course, reviewer books, hand outs and practice practice to become faster as you are to answer the question. because they can used it when you taking the board exam. trust yourself. and think positive that you made it. the power of positive thinking can help you to pass the exam. Don't forget to pray also.good luck!

What helped me a lot was Kaplan's GRE Exam book. It prepared me for the whole exam. In the back it has word lists, prefix/suffix lists, top GRE word lists, synonym lists, etc. Studying these lists and doing the practice exams in the book and on the CD helped me the most. Make flash cards using the lists and study hard!\n\nI studied the book for about 3 months prior to the exam and passed with a 570 verbal and 660 quantitative, 5.0 on the essay part. I highly recommend the book and it's not too expensive. Around $20 or $25 if i remember correctly.

Hi. \n\nGoing by your GRE scores, I think it should be very clear to you that it is your English skill that has to be improved. You've scored 800/800 in quants! That's great! In fact that's proof enough that you are way above average in analytical thinking. That is mostly what companies look for in a recruit!\n\nApart from good communication skills.\n\nSo my suggestion is: First try to improve on English. Then am SURE you'll get jobs lined up one after the other. This is so because, nowadays companies do not just look for people with good technical knowledge; they are in fact giving more importance to communication skills. So if you improve your English, I feel you have a very strong chance of getting through some good software company. \n\nReally man! You SURE HAVE it in you! 800/800 in GRE is very good! It's great! That will surely add strrength to your resume. Your "second class" marks of UG will then be less important for companies. This itself will tell them about you very clearly. \n\nBut one problem would be that most companies do not allow applications itself if UG score is less than 60%. But the important point is that NOT ALL COMPANIES ARE LIKE THIS. There ARE companies which do not stress upon 60%. Search for such companies to gain an entry in to the industry. Once you get into a company and gain experience, your options will slow get wider. \n\nAs for improving your english, there will be other questions on Yahoo Answers dealing with that. Search for those questions and go through the answers. Follow the most suitable answer to you and soon you'll see the results.\n\nI understand you do not want to depend on others anymore. So this might seem like a lengthy process for you. But think - the time and money you will be spending on improving your communication skills will be like an investment for the rest of your life. It WILL surely take you places! You'll succeed in life with flying colours!\n\nAll the best!

The GRE is scored on a norm scale i.e. you are compared to a sample group. \n\nThe ETS awards a baseline 200 because test norming shows that anything smaller is extreme (i.e. very very few people actually score that).\n\nYou can always do the exam again.

I took the Kaplan GRE course to bone up on the math, and it really helped. I had no problem getting into graduate school. It also helped my confidence going into the exam--I knew what to expect.

Many universities will allow you to earn a certain number of graduate level credits without GRE scores but to get admited to a graduate program you will most likely need to take the GREs.  Good Luck!

A few weeks of studying a couple hours a day should be enough to prepare.  Buy Princeton Review's book on the SAT or if you can afford it (it costs about $1000) take their class ... it's well worth it.  The book is good too though.  I did the class for the SAT and did well and used the book for the GRE and did well on that also.
