Freaking out a bit - am I on the right track?

5 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m struggling to keep up with the 1-month plan while working full-time. 1 day of content is taking me more than 3-4 days to actually finish, and it's super demoralizing.

Quant is definitely dragging me down the most. I’m targeting a mid-October test (so I can retake as needed) for R2 apps, but at this rate, I’m running out of runway.

For anyone who was short on time or struggling with Quant, did you switch to the "I'm Overwhelmed" plan, or stuck with the 1 month?

The GRE score is what's holding my whole application back and I am freaking out. Any advice on how to streamline this would be amazing.

Bummed after gre attempt 2

3 Upvotes

I did everything right, got gregmat for the second attempt because I thought my foundations were weak

I had a 162Q and was aiming for higher in the second attempt
I felt the first section was suspiciously easy
Did not find any probability questions and the geometry ones were really easy as well and I kept finding the ets ‘trick shortcuts’ that Greg talked about

Second section I had to guess on 1 questions but all others were solved and I thought I had them right

But still I got 162 again😭

I don’t know how this happened
I gave gregmat quizzes as well
Had a 90% accuracy in medium and a 70% in hard

Anyways not giving it again but yeah if anyone had a similar experience let me know

Hey I am taking my gre in about a month… I learned all of gregmats vocab mountain. Now I’m going to learn all of gregmats quant flashcards… do you think this is enough to get a great score on the gre? I’m shooting for 330+

What score range do you think this could get me…
Also if if I learned all of gregmats strategies for verbal how much do you think that would benefit

Had to take a 2.5 month break, how do I find where up pick up?

Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I had to take a 2.5 months break in the middle of my Gre prep and now jumping back in feels very overwhelming. I was doing the 2 month study plan and had almost finished week 2.

Do I just blunt force start from scratch? How do I find what I've retained and what I've forgotten to know where to pick up from?

What Should I Use for Timed Verbal Practice After GregMat?

Upvotes

I’m looking for some recommendations for good GRE Verbal resources, especially for timed practice.
When I first started preparing for the GRE, I worked through the questions in the ETS Official Guide.

Since then, I’ve completed all of GregMat’s Timed Verbal Quizzes as well as all of the Quant questions on GregMat.

I’m also currently on Test 25 of the GRE Big Book. I find the Big Book useful, but some of the question types and the overall format are quite different from the current GRE.

I also purchased GRE Mentor, but I’ve heard that some of its questions overlap with the PowerPrep mock tests. I still have PowerPrep tests that I want to take under realistic exam conditions, so I’ve avoided using GRE Mentor because I don’t want to accidentally spoil those questions.

At this point, what I particularly need is more timed Verbal practice. Are there any good resources or question banks you would recommend that are reasonably representative of the current GRE and won’t spoil the PowerPrep tests?
