How to score good marks in GRE?

Question

i am a new engg, student so pls give a detailed answer about the questions and preperations.........

Answer 1

Get practice test books, e.g. the Princeton book, for both the general test and your subject specific test.

Your college classes are supposed to prepare you for GREs, so you cannot, per se, study for the GRE separate from studying in your college classes.

However, the style and format of the GRE are things you can study for.  It has been a while since I took the test, but if I had not gotten a study book, I would have been quite lost on one section just because of how the questions were worded.

And yes, I ended up with good GRE scores. :-)

Good luck!

Answer 2

GRE Exam consists of 3 Sections

1) Verbal ( Max Score of 800)

2) Quantitative ( Max Score of 800 )

3) Analytics Writing ( Max Score of 6.0)

GRE used to be scored for 2400 few years back, but now its evaluated for 1600 ( 800 + 800 ) and Analytical Writing Section.

Summer 2009 is long ways to go and you have lots of time to prepare. This is what you should do to improve your score.

1) There are lots of free online GRE practice Tests available. Take one of the test without any distractions and see how you score in Verbal and Quantitative. ( http://www.happyschoolsblog.com/gre/ )

2) For the questions you have answered wrong, make sure you find out why you selected the wrong answer and find how to solve it right. If you happen to learn a new formula or words, make a note of it. you could use a separate notebook, one for verbal and one for Maths.

3) In same time, spend at least 1 hour per day for GRE Vocabulary from Barron's GRE book. It has 50 Word Lists. Try to memorize 1 word list per week. So, every week you can read 50 to 100 new words.

4) Week 1 read the first word list, Week 2 revise the first word list and then start learning the Second Word List. So, that you will not forget the words.

5) Best way to remember new words is to form a sentence for each word.

6) Next, take an GRE Practice Test again and see how much you score, and for mistakes you make, again evaluate what went wrong. In this way, you will learn new maths formulas and at same time your score will increase month by month.

7) No need to worry that you are scoring less in GRE tests now, every student initially has the same problem. Spending atleast 1-2 hours per day for first 3 months from now will get you going. In 4-5 months time you will see huge difference in the score.

8) So, the key to improve your GRE Scores and skills is to practice daily and if you select a wrong answer in your practice test, make sure you find the right answer and how to find the right answer.

If you are planning to study Master's in Computer Science, any score above 1000 is enough to get admission into Universities in U.S. If you need scholarship with admission, you will need to score more than 1200 out of 1600 and 5.0+ in Analytical Writing.
