The GRE is a test taken by all graduate school applicants including English majors who haven't touched math in years. That being said, good luck on the Verbal section.

>>8331806
Augmenting seems okay.

>>8331806
not A
i have no clue what B means but it seems to be negative
C could work but i dont think so
D negative connotation
E dont know what it means
F seems to work in the context

F

>>8331806
>>8331819

>>8331815
>>8331819
>select TWO
See me after class.

>tfw scored in the 70th percentile on the math section but 90th percentile on the verbal and 99th on the essay section
still got into a phd program for EE but I guess I should have done philosophy instead

full ride

honestly the math section is pretty easy, what fucked me up was the mentality of "yeah the answer is obvious but let me work it out by hand just in case" which ended up costing me a lot of time. my advice is if you come across a question that you know the answer to right away just answer it and move on, saving precious time for the questions that actually need to be worked out

>>8331866
noted famalam, ill be taking it in a few weeks

>tfw been slow at calculating whole life
>tfw run out of time on both quantitative sections. Didn't get to 20% of the questions.
>tfw can't bank time from verbal

Wasn't really so bad desu

It's pretty easy. You don't actually have to be smart, you just have to memorize the form of questions and the tricks that go with each form.

I would have picked A, because it sounds like a fancy word for casting or "solidifying", which would be my fill in the blank answer

>>8331806
B and C
Didn't anyone here play Cossacks?

Do they allow calculators on the GRE or is it mental arithmetic only?

>inb4 hurr y do u need a calculator basic math XXDDDD
I don't, but calculators are always faster than doing mental long division

>>8331819
>>8331839
SEE>>8331825>>8331913

I WAS RIGHT YOU FAG

>>8331924
You don't bring your own. There is a calculator that is provided electronically. It sucks and can't do much. There is no long division on the test I wrote.

What do grad schools value more: GRE scores or undergrad GPA?

>>8331924
They give you a calculator built into the test computer interface that is deliberately shit so you can only do basic operations. That way they test your ability to do as much in your head/on paper as possible.

>>8331941
Recommendation letters and research experience are the most important. GPA and GRE score are more used to weed out idiots, so as long as they are high enough they don't matter.

>>8331761
Time's really a big factor, loads of tricky questions. You won't get 90+ percentile.

Everyone can talk about how easy it is all they want, they probably won't exceed 160-162, if that tbqh.

>>8332121
What if I have great reccomendations, undergrad research, and GRE scores, but a 3.0 GPA from boredom with the material? Can I still get into a decent program?

Reaction time is g-loaded. Try being a hormone and approaching these.

>>8332835
i talked with my adviser the other day and she said 3.5-4.0 is the range and that they dont care where you fall in that range so long as youre there. so I would imagine if they see a 3.0 they wont even look at anything else.

I'm not exactly an expert though so dont take my word for it

>>8333650
Even if I'm first author on a couple of papers?

>>8333656
im not the one to ask, but i would imagine there are places that would reject you immediately and others that wont

I'm no american so I wonder, at what age do you guys take this ?

Listen yuroshit. The main point of the GRE is to filter out retards from no name schools in Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan. A good score won't get you into schools, but a bad score will disqualify you. Because if you've got the grammar and vocabulary of a Pajeet or the math skills of an criminal justice major, then you don't belong in grad school. So to answer your question yuropoor, anywhere from 21 to 23 or whenever you're submitting your grad school applications.

Into the trash it goes.

It also happens to be the time period IQ is most genotyped. IQ has a lot of noise and variability prior to the end of puberty.

>>8331761
General GRE is ridiculously easy.

Subject-specific GRE starts easy, then kicks your ass.
