Hi Greg,
Hope you’re well. It is about 9 days to GRE. What should I focus and what to do in these last days to bolster prep?
Should keep focusing on Vocab is one thing, and discovered the 11 Verbal tests, which I can do. What are some more general tips to aim to get 160+ in Verbal…
Also would you have an idea how many questions wrong in 12 + 15 would let the score be >160?
Some concern details:
I followed the One month plan. Am equipped with the strategies, and should keep practising them.
-
I am able to do Big Book RC passages, but struggled in 3/4 questions in the Verbal ETS Practise Book (RC chapter). Plus taking a lot of time as well. Trying to reinforce strategies and POE but probably need more practise? Is the new GRE kind of tougher? What do I do about RC and getting speed in that?
Also what strategy would you recommend for longer passages, which have 2-3 questions based on them. Short passages can be re-read if needed, what about the longer ones? (Main Idea, Rephrase, Simplify, which is recommended?)
-
Vocab is very important, can directly see that. I am also kind of struggling in 3 blank TC, taking lot of time to get those answered. How to gain speed in that?
-
General last minute tips, gaining speed and accuracy?
Also, just realised don’t know where I currently stand wrt my score in the 12 + 15 questions. How can I get an estimate and diagnose?
Grateful.
Regards,
Anirudh
