Taking my GRE's on Thursday...any hints?

[Nis01]

I took these not too long ago and would recommend a quick look at the quick study guides. I actually just borrowed a GRE for dummies book from a friend of mine, which I still have if you want to look at it Thayer. It was really helpful for the math sections as I haven't done any math besides calculus and stats for four years now. Just getting accustomed to the terms you haven't used in a long time is really important. The vocabulary section was killer for me, I'm a science/math person so I just went back and looked through some roots/prefix stuff and some of the "terms most often found on the GRE" type stuff. Helped some but overall it was pretty hit or miss, pretty much used some hint strategies from those guides to narrow my options. The writings are pretty easy as they give you pretty specific topics and just avoid straying from exactly what they ask for... those study books give you a good idea of what they are looking for and what not to waste your time on. Oh, and as it was mentioned earlier... spend the most time on the first five questions as they are worth a TON more than the following questions and set the tone for the rest of the section. Hope this might help somebody, good luck.

BTW.. those are really good scores. :thumbup:
