Hello everyone, just finished my firts Gre practice test (kaplan),scored 153 on quant and 152 on verbal. In quant sections i made some mistake because i lacked knowledge of the topic (like sets and probability) and i also made some silly mistakes on data interpretation because i calculate the results based on percentages rather than the real numbers; i made some gmat mock test in the past, but i think the quant section of GRE is way easier, so i'm thinking about taking Gre rather than Gmat for MSc admission. For verbal most of my errors were because of poor vocabulary. My target score are Q 168-170 and V 161-163, i have 2 month to prepare for the exam, which study material would you suggest me to use? i'm using math revolution for math fundamentals and i think it is very good (although it's made specifically for the GMAT), but i don't know what can i use to improve verbal. Any advice would be really appreciated. Thank you

Hi
unfortunately, I have no written yet my guide for verbal. However, to improve vocabulary I will show some links to improve verbal and overall for the GRE
1) Quant - Use our quant book https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/gre-math- ... -2609.html both theory and practice the specific areas tested on the GRE
Also take a look, please, to our directory of all the FREE links material for the GRE https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/free-gre- ... 18796.html
2) Verbal See our vocab list with videos https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/gre-vocab ... tml#p57272
Also this link for a complete vocabs list which is probably the best we do have https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... edit#gid=0
For RC the best strategy is to read the passage avoiding back and forth between the passage and the questions
CR read the stem very carefully
TC and SE improve your vocabulary and UNDERSTAND the meaning of the sentence. what it CONVEYS....ALWAYS. this is the key to tackle the TC and SE questions.
Please Sir, feel free to ask for further assistance
Regards

Thank you very much, i'll definitely use free material on the club; i have two questions: 1)in order to score 170 in every section you must get all the question correct or you can miss 1 or 2 in every section? 2) in order to make the second quant section harder how many answers you must get correct in the first section? Thank you
