- Hey guys! In this video I discuss about prospects of the General GRE admission test which is required for admission in graduate schools mostly in the United States. I took the GRE recently and was able to get a satsfactory score of 320+ within 3 weeks. Here, I will share how!
PS: I tried to cover as many important topics as possible, and thus the video is a little long! Still, this does not cover all aspects of the GRE and reference to other resources is recommended.

the amount of time he says "Particular" lmao
Hahaha, also "exactly", "really", "basically" 😂no wonder I scored the least on TOEFL speaking 😭
@@ShubhamKejriwal how much did you score?
such a useful video. I can tell you focused on being as concise and clear as possible while speaking, and it shows.
Such a calm demeanour in your assertion.
watch at 1.5x much better
Thanks a lot for this. Much appreciated strategy and all the best for your future endeavours :)
@subham kejriwal I am unable to access 2nd hand magoosh account .please help me out
Awesome video 💝🦋
Thanks! I have just 3 weeks n my initial score in Manhattan gre test was verbal 155 n Quant 157. Juggling full time job and gre preparation is pretty tough. I wanted to ask you how you prepared for Quant? magoosh videos are so boring for maths, I feel I know it but during exam lol I realized I actually don't know much.
Hey, very nice video. It would be helpful if you make a video on what are the basic things to learn for quants section. Like you mentioned about learning the cube roots from 100-1000
More such tips would be helpful, like a checklist of what all should we learn before the test. Thank you
I'm Magoosh app user. Just wanna know whether the level of questions the same or lower than that in quant?. Magoosh questions are pretty tough I see being prepared for IIT as well. Is it true ?
Quantitative is my weak part in GRE. Can you please recommend some topics I should surely focus more in GRE to ace that exam. I want to know some more important topics.
Hi, I want to score in the range of 320. English is not my first language, the verbal reasoning is a bit challenging, I took the GRE test two times already. I want to study real hard this time and score very well any tips for me for the verbal reasoning and the writing section also.
How many words we should write in analytical writing in one essay? Nd analyical writing is also computer based? Nd how many questions should i answer correctly to get 150 marks in verbal section..
bro you got such good score on ur first-hand test without any prep, here I cant do even a single question from verbal without prep,also my quant section is very poor, and i hardly have 2.5 months, i don't know how and if i really can do it? im an agriculture student , its my final year ,7th sem mid..please somebody guide
I want to purchase the study material for GRE and TOFEL exam. Can you give me the second hand Magoosh subscription plan?
Hey Shubham, Can you post any link on the used magoosh accnt.
the above one is quite old.
Hello broo! Finally started my college. BSc Physics at Bhavans Vivekananda College. I got admission in Azim Premji university but didn't join because of high fee (my dad could have paid it but l really didn't have the confidence in myself). So in the first semester we are having Integral and differential calculus in mathematics (mostly multivariable calculus). In physics we are having vector analysis(Divergence, curl, gradient, greens theorems and stuff), mechanics and special relativity and in computers we are having programming in C. Having a good time as of now. Hope I do well and not mess it up like in 12th and 11th. Make more videos bro. All the best!
Hi Aditya, happy to hear this! Congratulations and all the best with your courses :)
Hi bro! Thank you for such a really detailed video. Can you please help me with the prep strategy you followed for building vocabs within 3 weeks? I feel there are at least 800-900 words to be learned for a good grasp of the GRE vocabs.
Yes, I practiced about 1000 words. As I mentioned in the video, I made use of vocab builder apps on my phone which had placard styled practice sets for GRE level words. Make a target of say 50 words daily and you should be able to build a good vocabulary within 2-3 weeks.
How do you know you are memorizing it properly ? Because I feel like I learn and forget …
@@rummiii7877 Oh i just started preparing and i think u can do 50 words today and tomorrow u can go through the previous day's 50 words and the next day again the 50 from previous day and at the end of the week u can have a random quiz of like a 100 words by yourself from the whole week's words, and yeah I know it's going to be hectic but this is the best I can think of memorizing them
Hey !! Do we have Shiv Nadar University in Delhi also , I'm assuming yours is in Uttar Pradesh correct me or any other good University you would recommend for the same course . Thankyou so much
Yes, I am studying at Shiv Nadar University, Delhi NCR. It is the original SNU. The one in Chennai was originally called SSN College of Engineering.
Brother I have my exam exactly after one month. I have already done a bit of verbal study. But is one month time enough to score 160 in quants?
Should be enough, just practice a lot. Although the questions in Quants are relatively simple, you might be susceptible to making silly mistakes and losing points. So practicing is the key!
Hey ! how can i get access to a second hand used magoosh GRE account....can you please guide me
( I tried the Facebook thinh but it didn't work)
Bhaiya what is the placement scenario of cse in SNU?
thanks, all the best .
Is there anyone who is taking gre preparation now and willing to group study?
I started to take preparation.
Please comment.😊
Hey Shubham!! I actually messed my JEE badly(still having advanced) and didn't apply for any colleges yet. I have an interest in Pursuing Pure Physics or Mech Eng. Or Engineering Physics. I don't know what college will I be getting.
Just wanted to ask you that does college matter for BSc? Like will I get the opportunities if I study it from my state colleges that are obviously not that renowned. Please help. I'm stressed out idk what to do. please
The college of course matters. The number of opportunities you'll get to pursue further research, quality of infra and faculty, perception while applying to graduate studies, everything is accounted for by the reputation and rigor of your college in Bachelors. However, even if you land up in a not so well-known place, at least give your 100% in those 3-4 years you are in that college. If you are focused and have high motivation which shows through your CV, you should still be able to get the attention of some good schools in grad applications, and pursue research in your field of interest!
@@ShubhamKejriwal oh man you replied so late, haha. It's okay, thanks much for replying. I've realised that, place won't matter but your dedication, hardwork and perseverance will.
Sorry 😅 and yes, your hardwork counts a lot!
Bro. Please make a video about difference between college and school physics in INDIA. I am in 12th and am reading books like concepts of Physics by Prof.HC VERMA. Will UG physics be different from what we earn at school and JEE coaching? And I applied for Azim Premji university and am shortlisted for interview. Do you know about the university..like do you have any friends there? If you do..please give me your review about the university
Obviously UG physics is different from school physics....
Basically, UG physics is same in every college/University.....but different University may have a slightly different curriculum than other.
Like, IISc and IISERs have same curriculum but Azim Premji University's curriculum is different than them.
@@RishiKumar-zv3lc yeah maybe because in IISERS its BS MS with all five subjects in first 3 semesters
Are you from Azim premji university?
@@aadhuu no bro....I'll be passing 12 grade this year.... So I'm an aspirant like you just hoping to get into some good research college this year....
Best of luck to you bro....!
Hope we get our desired colleges...
@@RishiKumar-zv3lc yes. What colleges have you applied for? Did you apply for APU?
@@aadhuu no, not yet 😅..... Actually I thought of applying there but I haven't heard of enough reviews about APU..... I'm just waiting for the entrance exams of IISER, NISER and IACS to happen.....and JEE & NEET too (I'm a PCMB guy).
And thinking to apply for Ashoka University.
Bro! I m very much passionate to learn Quantum and relativity stuff ! Will These university would be a good place to start my journey for physics as you did for astro ! Eagerly waiting for your response!
Hi, as far as Shiv Nadar University goes, if you opt for BSc. Physics major, you will be taking three courses on quantum mechanics and option major electives on general relativity and cosmology. They are planning to add more astronomy/astrophysics courses in the next couple of years as well.
What is your subject gre test score?
how to prepare for analytical writing? What if we get a topic on which we have no knowledge
The whole point of practice is to avoid any surprises. As recommended, try getting a preparatory package from websites like Magoosh. The questions I got in the actual exam were quite similar to those I practiced for via Magoosh.
How did you score so much in quants.. My verbal is good... My quants is an issue.. I am scoring a 158 in quants at the moment. I want to score till 165 or above.
The quantitative section can be tackled with practice. There are practice books for GRE with chapters on the quant section under which you will be able to find many concepts from which questions might come in the test. You'll also find many practice questions to test and improve your skills. Most of the concepts are easy to grasp but are widerange, so keep practicing as much as you can in order to get a good hold of quants.
@@ShubhamKejriwal Hey, Thanks a lot to revert to my comment.
I am practicing quants from Manhattan 5 lb and Magoosh. I hope this is sufficient.
Hi Shubham, did u buy Magoosh one month plan? Or 6 months plan? eagerly waiting for your response
Hey, I had access to the 6 months plan.
I checked with the support team, they mentioned that the only difference in these two plans is that vl get more time with the materials in 6months plan. Apart from that the rest is same
I have a month left for my exam and I am still having difficulty with verbal, not able to cross 150, learnt over 1200 words, but each time they use it in a sentence, they look different 🙄
@@ShubhamKejriwal , how did u tackle the verbal part is such short span? Tats the only problem I am facing right now, please suggest
Can u suggest a strategy to score 25 on the final exam
How can get schore in three months JRE
Did you sit for Physics subject gre test? Which materials have you read for subject gre?
Can you please share any mock test of you have ?
All tests that i gave were online. As I mentioned in the video, you can visit GRE Prep websites and attempt full-length mock tests that they offer. Websites like Magoosh, Manhattan, Kaplan, all offer one free full-lenfth mock test each.
Thank you
I am planning to take next month first week
Hope it went well!
Thanks for the amazing video, helped a lot. Just wanted to ask a doubt, I'm pretty bad at quant because of my poor basics, how do you think I should approach quant effectively? Also, my grades are 73/73/7.3, do you think a good score would help a little at boosting my profile. I don't have work exp either since I just graduated.
The quantitative section can be tackled with practice. There are practice books for GRE with chapters on the quant section under which you will be able to find many concepts from which questions might come in the test. You'll also find many practice questions to test and improve your skills. Most of the concepts are easy to grasp but are widerange, so keep practicing as much as you can in order to get a good hold of quants.
U will get 73 in GRE also, setting new records, i will tell u least marks are 260..
How many hours did you study per day?
You didn't answer that. I'm a working professional having less free time
towards the end i was skipping classes to give the full length tests, but in general, my prep started after 6 P.M. and went till 9-10 P.M.
I want to give my GRE by the end of sept, if I work really hard will I be able to score 320+ ? I'm super stressed about it.
Dont stress too much, trust your preparation and follow the guidance you have. As I mentioned, practicing vocab is going to be most crucial, quants can be tackled relatively much easily!
are u in it sector?
hey can you make a video on if writing physics gre is worth the time and effort
Hi, I think taking the general GRE and subject specific GRE both are important when you are applying for a graduate degree in a particular subject. These act as benchmarks and inform the admission's team about your capability on a worldwide normalized scale, so its definitely helpful to take the subject test. However, you may note that many universities rejected the GRE as a whole last year due to the pandemic and that might be the case even this time. So they may not consider the GRE afterall!
In case you can spend 15-16k without any serious adversities, I would recommend taking both, the GRE general and subject tests.
@@ShubhamKejriwal highly appreciate your input shubham
Thanks a lot
I flinched when you said 2500 bucks!! A buck means a dollar.. just say 2500 rupees TT
Sorry :v
Why did you prefer IELTS over TOEFL?
And can you make a video about your list of preferred Unis?
Honeslty, I haven't done much research about which amongst the two is better. I have heard that IELTS is accepted in more places compared to the TOEFL and hence would prefer taking the former, but I'll do my own review of the two tests first. Might be in a better position to speak on this at a later time.

Can we take Aadhar card instead of passport for GRE exam in 2023
No, only passports are accepted. I got mine made specifically to give the undergrad version of GRE (SAT) 😅
16:09 easy question contain less marks? Can someone confirm this pls
what I meant was, the first section of both verbal and quants is medium level with similarly weighted questions. based on your performance in this section, the next section would be calibrated. if you score less on the first section, you get easier questions on the next one, which indeed carry lesser marks, and vice versa. everything else I said holds as is.
@@ShubhamKejriwal Accha understood.. after that you said “ull get more marks per correctly answered question”. Was this statement totally wrong?
no not really, even if you get 25 answers right on the easier section, you'll score much lesser than if you get 20 answers right on the hard section... so the per-answer weightage is technically higher.
@@ShubhamKejriwal understood, thx for explaining
Is passport is mandatory for gre
Yep
Bhaiya I want to talk to you a little bit about exam
You can leave your query here.
Cube root of 100 , 200, 300 till 1000 like that?
yep
😒😒😒you spoke about the exam more than how to prepare.
You wasted those 15mins which I will never get back in my life.
Sorry you felt that way. I have sectioned the video in different parts, and it was necessary to give an overview in the beginning. Please note that some sections are denoted to general practice of the test and others are my personal tips. Some parts might have been repetitive for clarity.
Hi, i scored 144 in mock
Keep working hard!
how many words did you learn?
600+
I scored 330 in 2 weeks
Sep 2016
👏👏👏
Prateek can u tell me about your preparation from where did you covered vocabs, quants
