Hello @Carcass !
Im going to re take GRE exam in 30 days becaruse I became nervous and mentally blocked during the exam. I don´t know if the questions actually were tougher that what I expected or I just had a bad timing strategy.
Also, on of my mistakes was to never take a mock tests before the offical GRE.
Now Im taking them, I read that you encourage us to take the Manhattan mock test.
My results are the following:
MANHATTAN
V 154
Q 159
From the last exam, at least 3 wrong answers in quant were due to silly mistakes or that I didn't read the complete sentence, but I also noticed that almost all of the data interpretation questions where wrong...
I usually skip them and I try to answer them at the very last, I do not know how to improve that area, could you please give me some advice.
Other mock test that I've done during the last 5 days (one each day) are:
Manhattan - 154V 159Q Silly mistakes + Data int wrong answers
Princeton - 154V 159Q Silly mistakes + Data int wrong answers + 2 questions where I dind't know what to do
Power Prep Plus - 150V 156Q Silly mistakes + Data int wrong answers
Power Prep 1 - 154V 162Q
Power Prep 2 - 158V 159Q
Also, I've noticed that I have problems with GEOMETRY CONCEPT questions, for example where the exam provied a square inscribed in a triangle (without angles or so) and I have to deduce if one side of the triangle is bigger than the sum of two sides of the square... I have problems with those questions and also are time comsuming for me because I don´t how to tackle them.
My goal is 160 in quant and at least 155 in verbal section.
I'll kindly appreciate it.
Kind regards!

Hi,
the PP score is pretty decent. That is the ONLY tool of comparison with the real exam.
Use our book: chapter geometry https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/gre-math- ... -2609.html
You must to know that concepts like a gospel on Sunday into the church. They must be your second skin. It is the only way to improve
keep me update and be confident with your skills. being nervous does not help the cause. being aggressive helps

Hello @Carcass !
Today I did a mock test from Kaplan and i got 150 V and 164 Q.
Problem is that I've seen that I need to boost my verbal and what I find is that I'm findinf difficult to pair words in the sentence equivalence sections, usually the words are not synonyms straight foward.
Also, in the text complextion section I think I need a lot of more vocabulary, would you please give me some adive for these sections?
My strategy during the verbal section is as following:
Answer 1 and 2 blanks questions from text completion, skip three blanks...
Move fastly to the sentence equivalence sections (answer all of them)
Answer the last 3 questions from the exam, I think is a reading comprehension short passages.
Go back to the large reading.
Move back to the reasoning questions before the long reading.
If I have still time I try to give a shot with the three blanks sentences.
Kind regards!
