hello there,
I want to go for MS this coming summer semester 2012. When should I appear in GRE?? Is October ok?
thanks………..
well u will get scores in nov end, some college applications are closed by then. but some extend upto Jan. so decide ur universities
Thank you jayantika. But wont it be ok to send my score with my application and let them know that i’ll send my scorecard as soon as i get it…..??? Obviously I’ll be getting my score at the end of the exam…right??
Also please suggest me good GRE coaching classes….
Thanks… 🙂
hi,
Well most of the universities, close their application process by dec end only. so I think u wd be able to apply. Also, if u are appearing in October u won’t get to know the score till november end, not even the tentative one as in old gre. for more go thru ets site http://www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/scores/get/
I am currently using an online coaching called GreEdge.com, it is pretty decent. they have a 10 days trial version as well, u can try it and judge yourself. Nevertheless, u would still be needing books like Kaplan and may be Barrons. I ordered Gary Gruber till now, as far as verbal is concerned not a lot of practice questions but enough strategies. You can read reviews on flipkart as well. Order a book that has ample of practice questions.
hsb,if i correct 20 questions in maths new pattern gre then how many marksi got???????????plz tel me……….
if out of 50 u have 20 correct, then according to a GRE-score conversion table in Gary Gruber u have 440 marks.
i got very less marks in old gre which i had given on 11th of this july.i got 610 and i am planning togive new gre in november.plz any one tell how can i score 1200+ in new gre. what amount of hard work and effort is required to score high.i also want to know about i can i prepare to get high score
RCs are pretty important, and as u have already learned up the GRE wordlist just keep on revising them. Order the books like Kaplan ( u can order sectional books as well). Practice Practice, thats all. Emphasize on RCs as they will constitute 50% of verbal.
As far as Quant is concerned, it is more or less the same. So whatever book you are ordering, practice from it 🙂
and all d best

hello to all members of happy blog
Can anyone suggest the name of site which help me preparing for the reading comprehensions for gre
Even I need to know, help please!!!
What would be the percentage of question in this new pattern of GRE? I mean to say how many Sentence completion questions, how many Reading Comprehensions and how many Critical Reasoning Questions would be there?
They are divided into equal no.
No, RC will constitute 50% of the verbal questions, http://www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/prepare/verbal_reasoning/reading_comprehension/
Hi all would be GREers and F1 aspirants,
This is just my personal opinion, but i think that GRE just got tougher, and here is why:
1. Now there are more distractions during the exam:
a) Use of Calculator: and this won’t be your Casio Scientific calculator that you used during your undergrad either – this’ll be some lame calculator app that will be provided to you on the computer screen during your quantitative exam. This will certainly lead to unnecessarily wasted time. I believe if much of the quantitative section’s style of questions is retained, one should stick to not using the calculator.
b) Allowing going back and forth between your questions: this is another avenue for potentially wasting time. I do not expect GRE/ETS to provide the test takers with a simple OCR type screen during a section to refer to which questions one has already answered, and which one hasn’t. If that is what happens, one might end us spending significant amount of time just messing around trying to find the questions that were left unanswered during the first pass.
2. Verbal section just got tougher:
a) Fewer antonym/synonym questions: I think learning a word list, even if by rote, inspite of its difficulties, is achievable. One can strive to learn a few thousand words and be confident in the knowledge that if one gets any questions related/using a word out of those, it’ll be doable. No more of those questions and potential for some sure points is lost.
b) More comprehension type questions: Comprehension is one of the most difficult sections on a GRE Verbal exam as it is – you have to read a lot of stuff very fast, and then you have to answer some quite difficult questions (the multiple choices only make life harder if one isn’t well versed with comprehension and very analytical). More comprehension means more time spent reading the subject matter on the screen, and more attention and more focus will be required. And one will still need to have a good vocabulary in order to understand the text! Don’t put down your word lists right yet folks!
I admit that I’ve made the above passing remarks almost entirely based upon what has been mentioned in the above post. But, if I am not mistaken, the focus on reading (more comprehension) and writing (I think analytical writing just got all the more crucial in the revised GRE pattern) makes the new GRE tougher. I will try to present a more comprehensive assessment of how the new GRE can be tackled in a later post. Till then, all the best, and don’t put down your word list right yet, alright.
Gud suggestions and thanx for your post.I am sure your post will help lots n lots of gre students.
I am one of the gre student who is gonna attempt gre exam in the upcoming year.i need some more tips from you and make sure that the tips which you give must extremely be helpful to get through the exam.
I am sure that only by taking guidance from lecturers., we cannot get through the exam, all that we need is to put effort n hardwork.Inaddition to that i am seeking for your suggestions…

Old patter GRE is valid for 5 years.
Hiiiiiiiii………i m surabhi saraf.
i ask that, GRE new pattern exam are tough or not as compare to old patttern ???
i mean how come the maths portion..tough or simple.
You'll still need to know basic math for the GRE revised General Test. The difference,is the increased emphasis on data interpretation and real-life scenarios. There are new types of questions that require you to show your quantitative reasoning ability. Plus, to reduce the emphasis on computation, they provide an on-screen calculator.
• The revised test still requires basic math skills like arithmetic, algebra, geometry and data analysis
• New Multiple-choice questions which include some that have more than one correct answer, requiring you to select all of the correct answers from the choices provided
• New Numeric Entry questions require you to enter your answer in a box instead of selecting an answer from a list.
Sorry, I meant I have heard that dates for old pattern will be available only till June 2011. typing mistake. Apology. Guys please let me know soon.
http://goo.gl/0CuX
Sir,
So do you mean that its just a rumour? And the dates will be available in July 2011 with the old pattern? I am looking forward for a clear reply from you sir, that will be useful.
Regards
I have heard a new rumour now. You must be knowing that the new GRE pattern is coming into effect from August 2011.
Now I have heard that the dates for the old GRE pattern will be available only till June 2010. And that whole of July 2011 will not take any GRE examie., there will be a lag period of a month between the 2 patterns. Please let me know if this is true.?

* Quantitative Reasoning scores will be reported on a new 130 – 170 score scale, in 1-point increments (versus 200 – 800 in 10-point increments).
* Analytical Writing scores will continue to be reported on the same 0 – 6 score level, in half-point increments.

U can use GRE Bigbook or Kaplan material for GRE Preparation. New Syllabus will be coming on August 1st. it wont effect ur scores at all.
when preparing for GRE remember few things, USA universities not only prefer your overall Scores but individual scores also. You need to have good individual scores in Quantitative, Verbal and Analytical also.

the gre pattern is going to change by july 2011. in the new pattern the analogies have been removed , which makes it tough. the analogies are the most scoring part in the gre. so its better to write as soon as possible or before the pattern changes.
i have a confusion whether the current pattern of GRE is good for scoring or will the new pattern ie in 2011 will be easy to score plz give the diff in scoring areas between the 2 patterns
I would like to apply for spring i.e. Jan2011 … I have a work experience of 3.5yrs right now in operations & manufacturing field as I have done my Bachelors in production with 10th – 80.02% 12th with 86% & Bachelors with 75% & iam planning to write my GRE in May . Can please suggest how i should plan my GRE , whether the test pattern will be changed by Jan 2011 , which universities are good for my profile, whether doing MS is a really a good option after 3.5yrs experience in industrial side & how are the job openings for industrial engg
to my knowledge and frequent review ,based on 2011 pattern the nature of math questions will change and focus more on higher-level skills. It’s going to make this test harder.”
and then writing section will have more “focused” prompts to avoid memorized answers.
and more over if the pattern is changed u wont find books wit previous yrs look-alike quests…so be alarmed to take it in this yr 2010 itself…
sir, am planning to start of with my GRE preparations…nd m plannin to give my exam in 2011. So can u plz guide me dat with wat sort of preparations shall i start with. Bcos before we had to more emphasis on word lists, but according to d new format d focus has shifted to sumthing else…so wat wuld dis 'else' be for wich i can start my preparation with.
Always change to be invited.But what is the benefit that going to get with new pattern .OK what is the minimum cut off scale for qualifying the exam who to arrive scale 130 to 170.
if i take exam in 2010 is the score valid for 5 years,once new gre started will old gre pattern also inforce for some time or not.
Hey,
i m giving GRE in between April to June. Could it affect that also ?
Will there be problems relating to permutations and combination in the year 2010?I am planning to give GRE in October 2010.
i am planning to give gre in month of june ,will these rules are applicable by then?
Please send us the type of pattern that will be followed henceforth in the GRE exam, like the marks allotment, type of questions,etc.
I am planning to give my gre next august so will these rules be applied by then?
It may be good for all student because Antonyms and analogies create problem for every student. Anyway its quite ok but I want to know that what time I can write GRE if I'm planning to apply for fall 2011. Actually I want to pursue Phd so i have to take GRE subject test also. So please assist me.
Thank you
if calculators are allowed,that means there would be more difficult calculations right? and if its good, that also mean test taker would score higher and that would increase the score needed for scholarship?
@ Odunayo
yes u r right .calculations r going to be too tough that’s why they are allowing calculators .I personally feel that reading comprehension is tough by means of time management.If u want to do a comprehension u need a good vocab and good vocab means u have to learn as much words as u can so it is of no use to eliminate antonyms.
Sir, Could you post moe details about the new pattern of GRE ! and what about the Level of Comprehenion Passage, it would be same as the old pattern?….
Accordind to you these changes will b good for students or not?
and i want to ask one more thing that what is the validity of gre score. Suppose i am taking gre in 2010 then could i take admission in 2011 also?
@Ankit:
GRE Score is valid for 5 yrs.. Good or bad depends upon our ability to handle.. Personally, i feel the new format will be good.. Good luck to you..

It's never easy to find information in ETS. Try searching in Google amd Google News.
