What did you get on the SAT or ACT?

>Because you will get very close to the same percentiles in the GRE....

When I took it, there was a strange emphasis on (essentially) asking if some function was true on the entire number line, and hoping I'd forget that you can't divide by zero.

Also, there was a lot of "what error does this argument make?" questions, with answer choices like "modus ponens" or "argument from authority".

Get one of the big workbooks and do all the practice questions in the book. Ideally, you would find one that has online resources. I used the Kaplan book with the online resources and it was pretty good.

Here's the product I used:

https://www.amazon.com/GRE-Premier-2017-Practice-Tests/dp/1506203221/ref=dp_ob_title_bk

Mine was the 2016 version, but should basically be the same shit.

I ended up in the 97th percentile for Verbal and 93rd percentile for analytical writing, but my quant was mediocre because I didn't really care about that section.

Never took em. I went from a community college and transferred to a university.

The only standardized tests I have ever taken were California stuff for writing and such.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Kaplan was the same company which made the books that my wife used for the mcat, I remember her saying she liked them.

Another resource that helps is http://www.majortests.com/

I didn't really touch the quant portions, but the verbal portions had challenging vocab and reading comprehension. I felt that the questions on that site were more challenging than the other resources, so if you want a leg up then it should help to master them.

Awesome. My undergrad was in cs, I can spit out logical analysis as though I were telling you my life story.

Thank you very much, that looks like it will be helpful.

Practice timing yourself for the writing section. I did great on the reading and math, but fucked up the writing section hard so I had to retake it. It's easy to waste time doing a "perfect" intro and having an awful set of body paragraphs.

Not OP, but I actually found that 30 minutes was plenty of time for the writing section. I was able to write out some nice essays with some finishing touches with time to spare, and got a 5.0 (93%) with little trouble. Could've been a 6.0 if I had put just a little more thought into the first essay, but I'll take the 5.

Some people are faster than others. My point was if you wing it going in you might find yourself in trouble.
