Got quant 159 and verbal 158, how can i improve? [#permalink] New post   29 Oct 2020, 07:05
Hi guys, I’ve taken today the GRE, unofficial scores are: V 158 and Q 159; i’ve studied using GRE official guide and official Verbal and quant book; unfortunately this score isn’t enough for my target schools (MSc finance at HEC, ESSEC, SG, Bocconi, LBS, LSE and EDHEC MiM); i was expecting a bit more on Q, since in powerprep free 1 and 2 i scored 167 and 162. I want to retake the GRE, but i’m lost regarding which study material i should use from now on. I noticed that the quant difficulty level of official guide and powerprep is way inferior than the real GRE. Can anyone please suggest me how I should proceed?
Thanks.

According the last info we do have: is true that the free software is a little bit an understimation of the real score. However, powerprep plus is more in line the real GRE

As how to improve quant, the only thing you need for is to go through extensively both the quant theory and the practice.

Strong foundations are the real deal to crack the GRE quant

See our quant book https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/gre-math- ... -2609.html

Ask if you do need more info

Thank you, i'll definitely use the quant book, what about the Manhattan 5lb book? i heard is not good for verbal but very good for quant, should i use it? A friend of mine can also borrow me the official GMAT quantitative review, is it ok for the problem solving questions?
Thanks

Quant

our quant book. Nothing else

verbal

MGRE strategy books see here https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/best-gre- ... d-157.html are decent for the theory but does not exist a verbal GRE book good enough. We had been writing this side of the GRE to fill the gap but unfortunately, we did not yet :(

In my opinion, the only decent book NON official to practice verbal questions is the Barron's book here https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/gre-verba ... -3488.html

Forget GMAT quant. Only specific problems from the official material GMAT are suitable for the GRE. You can find here https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/gre-quant ... 18001.html
