Comments on: The GRE… http://www.courtneyelizabeth.com/2005/08/22/the-gre-is-my-life/ Social Media Consultant | Entrepreneur | Model | North Hollywood, CA Fri, 06 Jan 2012 03:29:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: April http://www.courtneyelizabeth.com/2005/08/22/the-gre-is-my-life/#comment-1980 April Wed, 24 Aug 2005 23:28:37 +0000 http://www.courtneyelizabeth.com/?p=129#comment-1980 I took the GRE this past spring, and the test was actually relatively easy. I did not get high scores though, because I took the GRE without studying for it. It's a long story. If I would have studied for the GRE, then I know I would have done a lot better. Of course, I'm in graduate school, so it's all good. You'll make it Courtney, I know you will. :heart: I took the GRE this past spring, and the test was actually relatively easy.

I took the GRE a while back, and I wish I had read your post a month ago. But since you have a month and change left, the best thing I could suggest is to expose yourself to as many words as possible AND start using them. Your friends will all put up with 5 weeks of you using words in your posts that you have to define right after you use them, and it will help you own the words. Also, stay calm. if you see something you don't know--even 10 things you don't know--don't panic. You can do it. And if you haven't taken timed tests on a computer before, do it now. Your school probably has a place where you can go and sign up to take practice tests. If not, go to a bigger neighboring school, find someone in the Black student resources department, and ask them to let you do it there. Good luck Hey.

I must say I was fortunate enough to not have to take it. Apparently for the Computer Science program at my school, they said that GRE scores were not an indicator of whether or not you can complete graduate study. Since I have a masters already, they waive the GRE if I wanna get a second one. :thumbsup: I agree with the others, just study (for real, for real) and pray. Don't give up! :hug: Aaawww.

I applied to two schools and got in both. (I ended up at Syracuse) :thumbsup: I was fortunate to be able to be in a FREE prep course in a summer research program I was in the summer before my senior year and it helped me a LOT. The difference is I took it RIGHT before they changed the format. I had an analytical section and I think you guys have a writing section now instead. If I dig up any of my old notes or worthwhile tips, I'll be sure to email it to you. :typing: Don't be worried girl! There's only so much studying you can do. I think if you have the basics, you'll be fine. Pray on it :pray: study what you can, but don't get overly stressed. You have no other option than to be successful, you're COURTNEY E.! :twocents: I took the GRE in 2002. I applied to two schools and got in both. (I ended up at Syracuse) :thumbsup:

Of course, 1995 was on paper, and I went to grad school in 96. in 2003 I thought I was going to go back, so I took it again. The practice tests were always harder to me, but just make sure your practice tests are computer based just like the real GRE, and you'll know exactly where you stand. Plus, the way those stupid computer based tests are designed, the questions get harder if you are doing well, so you will feel confused and like you are doing poorly even when you aren't. and likewise, when you are bombing, it makes the questions easier. it's all a big psyche-out.
