Hi Chirag,

Deep

I am going to give my GRE in NOV second week.


I was thinking of giving it since a long time but was not sure because of my job.
So I finally took a date thinking ill start studying at least then.
So now I have like 2 months, Ill also be doing my job alongside so consider 12 hrs of
my day wasted there. I tried coming home and studying but it is very di icult.
Is there any hope of getting a good score? or shall I be postponing my date?

The material I have is all the notes from a class (IMFS). It contains notes on Verbal and
Quants.., a few flashcard apps and e-books (which I am not so used to reading) (I have
Magoosh GRE Prep, Manhattan 5 lb. Book of GRE Practice Problems). I have not joined
any classes as such. I am terrible at vocab and reading too.
Can you throw some suggestion as to how do I go about with my preparations while
doing my job at the same time. And what all topics I need to focus on and spend time
at the most along with the most essential materials required (because ill end up
having a lot of things and then just end up messing up and not doing anything
properly.)

14/09/2013 at 11:35 PM
Firstly great article!!I am going to start preparations for GRE and I just gave a Princeton
practice test just to see my level before I start.I got 313(165-Math,148-Verbal). I am

Karthik

pretty confident in Quants but I really lack vocab knowledge.How should I go about
preparing for verbal if I want my score around 330-335 range?I will be giving GRE in
another three months time.Please suggest articles and news journals to have an
extensive verbal knowledge.
