I got 312. Q163 and Verbal was 149. Very painful. Still seeking advise whether to rewrite or not. I am considering a graduate program in Civil Engineering. *If you are seeing this what would you advise, am I good to go?*

As for my experience, I would say the Quant was fair, what GRE was testing is time management and ability to pay attention to details, nothing really out of ordinary except some few questions probably experimental, I got 3 quants sections. My Quant score could have been 165+ or more by my first section was bad, I had to make sure I get almost every question in the subsequent one. As for verbal, GRE is not testing vocabularies like before, it's more of context and understanding clues and sentence structure. I must have missed so many questions on TC and SE cos my RC seems smooth. In summary, don't fret, take enough practice test, work on your practice test and use more of official guide materials. GRE is standardized, that means they have scope of what they intend to test, there is a pattern most especially for the Quants.

I am sorry about your Verbal score. If you can, please rewrite, since you now understand the exam, it would be easier to get a better score.

Thank you for sharing your experience. How long did you prepare for the exam? How many practice tests?

I wrote my GRE yesterday. Thanks to this forum coz I was clueless on where and how to start my preparation. Recommendations from this forum was so helpful and invaluable.
I can testify to your assertion about the Verbal section too. It's more of context and understanding, seems GRE is testing less of your vocabulary (just an assumption though) now. I also got 3 Quant sections. Time is very important. If given enough time, one could possibly solve all the questions, but in GRE, solve as much as you can and review your responses.
For your preparation ensure you practice, get used to the timing, the style, the tricks and twists. Use more of the ETS official guide.
Regardless of your score, what's important is getting ission and funding where necessary. I pray we all get our desires.

You can definitely get funding offers with scores less than 300. Although, some fields are more competitive than others. I have several people including myself who got multiple funded offers with a score less than 300.

what field are you in? Gpa?

Can i please get a soft Copy of the gre official Handbook? [email protected]. Thanks

I am in touch with my undergraduate supervisor. She is the one to do the entire article submission to Journals. My own part is to present the work and correct where necessary

I greet everyone.... Pls can I apply for PhD with my Bsc degree if I have good GRE score

Yes, that's very possible.

But I would advice that you check your intended program's website to know their requirements.

Of course you can. For this jump, kindly note that not only your GRE score will be considered, your GPA and research experience will be very vital too, amongst other things. Good luck.

There will most likely be dates for those months. Kindly check to confirm from the official ETS website. Cheers!

ETS will provide with on-screen calculator but the calculator is another gimmick to slow you down

Thanks

2021 UPDATE
It's been 6 years since i wrote this post and i still can't believe how this post has transformed into an amazing community of people working collaboratively to this exam. That said, i believe the materials and guidelines listed in the original post are currently inadequate. While it's been years since i wrote the GRE, there are two key information that are timeless.

1. The only resource you need is the Official GRE prep book. It's an excellent resource written by the creators of the exam. Who best to learn from than those who created the exam? Ignore every other book and just get the Official GRE guide.

2. The official GRE practice tests are extremely valuable. Powerprep online and Powerprep plus online are all you need. They are the closest substitute to the real exam. Before taking the test, i beg you, please do at least one Powerprep Practice test. I would strongly suggest you do the Powerprep plus online test. Yes, its a paid service but trust me, it's worth every penny. Please note, I failed to do this and it was evident in my scores.

Once you get these resources (the book and the practice test), the rest is up to you. Create a study plan and then study as much as you can. As you study, please try as much as you can to do the exercises in the books. Your learning is complete when you can answer questions related to that concept flawlessly. If you can’t solve problems, brotherly…sisterly…your learning is incomplete. Kindly go back and relearn the material.

Finally, after studying, do the Powerprep online or Powerprep plus tests. It might take you weeks or months to study and write the exams. It doesn't matter. Do what works for you with an eye on the college ission cycle. At this point, you are most likely prepared for the main exam. Go forth and slay your test with grace.

I know the process may not be as linear as stated above. You would have days where you have no desire to study. Sometimes, you might even feel lonely. This is entirely normal. To keep going, surround yourself with like minded achievers - they are many amazing people on this forum who you can connect with. Additionally, pay attention to your health, sleep and diet. The brain works superbly when you are well fed, sleep well and have a stable emotional life.

Before i leave, i just want you all to know that life is a beautiful journey. Stay focused and keep working on your dreams. One day you would wake up and discover you are living your dreams. It has been that way for me. I started with the believe that i would study and live in the US. Today, i am living that dream.

Stay blessed.
Danja.
