Title: GRE exams Post by: pasnow on October 09, 2006, 09:52:12 AM Hi,
I've been out of school for about 10 years & haven't taken many tests since then. I'm considering going back to grad school P/T, and will be taking the GRE's soon. My school & dept will prefer I get a 500 on both, does anyone have any feedback on how attainable that should be. I have been studying the guides & vocabulary flashcards. Thanks in advance for any help, ;D Title: Re: GRE exams Post by: Surfrider on October 09, 2006, 10:56:23 AM I don't think that will be too hard. The GRE is a relatively easy exam.

good luck...btw, don't sweat it, they're not that bad. Title: Re: GRE exams Post by: GeraldFord on October 09, 2006, 09:03:47 PM I don't think that will be too hard.?

It's reassuring at least that I have a shot at it. I'll keep on studying & let you all know.

While I've not written it myself, a lot of my friends have. You need to have a feel for the type of questions they ask, so practice exams and tests are a must. Vocabulary is important in the literature section, while math is well... math.

Vocabulary is important in the literature section, while math is well... math. Notice the key word - relatively. It is much easier than the other grad school exams. I know, I took the GMAT, LSAT and GRE. The competition taking the GRE does not compare to the other two exams.

We should get a couple prctice ones and compete. Title: Re: GRE exams Post by: pasnow on November 02, 2006, 12:46:23 PM Thanks for you help & feedback everyone. I took it yesterday and did pretty well. My school "preferred" a 500 or more, I got a 550 for verbal & 620 for math.
