Hi Carcass,

Thanks for your clarification. Can you please shed some more light on the sections being changed and also any additional resources that may be required.

Warm regards,
Karthik

Thank you so much for your kind words. Appreciate a lot.

Give me a couple of days to jot down a post.

Regards

Thank you so much Carcass for your selfless help. I will share my experiences after I write my test. Thanks a lot for all your help.

Warm regards,
Karthik

Hi Carcass,

I understand from your previous post that you did suggest me to buy the "Manhattan Prep GRE Set of 8 Strategy Guides - Fourth Edition". Am I right. Do I need to do a course or the below materials are enough for my preparation:

1. 8 MGRE books (will buy these as I do not have an old copy) along with the
2. GMATClub Quants book, and
3. ETS Official guides (Will use the Club's link for solving problems)

What about mock tests? Please shed some light on it.

Warm regards,
Karthik

Those 3 resources are the perfect square.

As for the mock, try out our test which is robust and really close to the real test. MGRE is another option.

The rest is negligible for me.

Considering also that these two books are tests even though on a paper based. Yet Official

Thank you so much Carcass. I did not understand your below statement though:

"Considering also that these two books are tests even though on a paper based. Yet Official"

Warm regards,

Those PDF's are like the powerprep, even though on paper. ETS gave them to who took the test before to use a computer or in areas of the world where the only viable option is the test on paper.

If you do those is like a mock test

okay, thanks Carcass.

Warm regards,
Karthik

Hi Carcass,

One question I had - regarding vocabulary, what are your suggestions. Please let me know.

Warm regards,
Karthik

Hi,

this is not a simple question as it seems.

For me is a waste of time. I rely always on the meaning of the sentence. Moreover, I have on my own a good knowledge.

If you wanna a suggestion, however, I would say Barron 300 words.

Again, for me is a waste of time. It depends.

For others is crucial.

Regards

Thanks Carcass.

Warm regards,
Karthik

Hi Carcass,

One question I had - are the GRE materials/books here common to both MBA and MS? If not what is the difference. Please clarify.

Warm regards,
Karthik

The material for the GRE general test (for which we write here) is ONE. The material is usual.

You take the GRE and use it for your purpose.

Then if you do wanna the GRE for a specific field such as chemistry... then it is another topic.

Regards

Thank you Carcass!

Warm regards,
Karthik

I have only done Manhattan Prep's verbal section, but I think that it is really good in that the questions are harder than ETS practice questions and really push you. Also, Peterson in my opinion is not a good book. The questions in the verbal section are not well written. They don't have too many challenging words and instead have answer choices that are too close to differentiate.
