I love tested tutor videos too...he is so simple and amazing in his teaching
its a great ....thanks for recommending tested tutor and gregmat as i have exam this month and my score were not improving ...hope u r having great time 👊
Thank you so much.It boosted me a lot.
Great content, keep it up. 🙏🏻
Thanks for guidance brother 👍
This is such a genuine video.
Good content brother!!!
Thanks bro!!
Thank you so much becoz i am in the same zone. Hope I will get good score
This video is a lifesaver! I had only about two days to prepare (due to a full-time job and some last-minute decisions lol), and doing the mock tests from ETS, watching videos dissecting different problems (the TH-cam channels you recommended), and looking at the mnemonics dictionary really works! Thank you so much :D
Just out of curiosity, How much did you score?
@@Eliteshade I did pretty good actually, I got quite lucky that the extra one I had was math.
If you know anything about procrastinators, this is possible and it's also the why I'm here. I've have ten days but this helps be understand that it's still possible thanks!
how did it go
It was fine, I guess. I think what really matters in this test is your ability to concentrate for four hours. If you are a naturally anxious person, it can be tough but in that case prepare harder.
It's not tough per se, it's management of time and pressure. Good luck!
@@bavleenmehta6351 thank you. mine's set in december. how many practice tests would you suggest
You can good time, take one every weekend.. take 8-10 tests and review your mistakes. It'll go well, don't worry, all the best!
@@bavleenmehta6351 how much time did you took to prepare for gre?
Very proud of you Suraj
What a knowledgeable talk !!!
Hey, bro. I took my GRE today and scored 312 (which should get me into all my target colleges). Planned my prep for 3 weeks purely based on the resources that you have mentioned. Thank you soo much for your insights, I definitely owe a part of this to you :)
how did you prepare and which videos did you watch and what order, testedtutor has a playlist for 5 weeks, do we refer to all or are there main videos we can go through?
Thankss alotttt. This was like a life saviour because only 10 days left in my GRE
Same...What are you Practice test Scores Currently?
Thanks bhai!
Suprb vedios, thanks for this
very helpful thank you
Glad you found it helpful!
Hey your video is absolutely helpful to anyone who's preparing for gre in a short period of time but can you pls explain me about verbal tricks for RC TC SE other than the vocab. like as per seniors there are lots of repeated things comes from 5lb. is it true or not or its just a myth? Plz reply me as soon as possible 😊
I wonder how can someone finish Manhattan in just 5 days unless you are just Einstein. Anyway this motivated me my score is near to you hope I get the same in actually test I am trying what are the secrets to ace in quant because there u can dominate
Hello, I have 14 days left for my gre, I have practiced algebra and geometry from Manhattan book but I am worried about verbal because I haven't practiced it. please can you help me with it?? how shall I proceed?
I have got 142 in verbal and 155 in Quants
If I want to increase my Quants score only then is it possible to reattempt and only focus on Quants?
There are many Manhattan 5lb edition, can you please tell me which edition you practiced?
Thanks bhai ! I have like 20 plus days for prep , is it enough ?
What was your score break down of quants verbal and also AWA. @Intersecting Parallels
Is any source where I can write the free test without feed and even I calculate my score??
I prepared for two weeks following Greg Mat and tested tutor's content, and mostly like how you..
Went 290(1st ets mock) - 311 official GRE..
Although I am still sceptical about what range ranked unis are achievable.. (Like top 50 unis)
Also my TOEFL is 105, gpa 8.4 and few research interns
Would love if someone can help
@@Phoenix-ut5sn how many mocks tests you attempted?
@@aishwaryadhore1401 5
hey are you applying for fall -24?@@Phoenix-ut5sn
Hey Thank you so much. Your video is so motivating. Can you please explain how you used tested tutor. Like I mean which playlist or videos you referred to.
I used the 5lb book and started solving questions. Whenever I couldn't figure out a solution/concept, I'd look for the corresponding video in TestedTutor.
Hi, from where I can buy these flash cards? Any online reference?
From Karachi, Pakistan
Did you get this score in your second attempt or first??
Thank you for the video. Just wanted to how relevant were Manhattan and Kaplan test to actual gre exam?
@@raghavtigadi9558 no not for the practice but for test.
Hey! let me know if there are any other resources which were really helpful to you!
Edit : Glad that this video was helpful for many of you. I just wanted to share that when I got 289 with my first attempt (without preparation), I had severely underestimated the time it would take to solve problems and I was left with many unsolved problems. Had I paid more attention to the time, I would have scored in the range of 300 (without preparation). Although preparing for GRE did help me, being mindful of time was a huge contributor too.
Also, for anyone interested to know, I am currently pursuing MEM at Northwestern University.
For people looking for flashcards that I used, it was a borrowed collection from my friend. However, I have left 2 links in the description if you want to purchase one.
bro how did u get it?
Bro, from where one can prepare VERBAL part (tested tutor or greg mat)?
Both are good. But I used Tested Tutor and flash cards (for vocab)
can i get to talk to you in person , suraj if it possible regarding the preparation only , please will be a great help

Plz comment so that we can relate more and scope of possible improvement within 5-6days.

I have one month left. But this helps a lot. Looking forward to get around 330+. Will share the outcome on this for sure. Till then keep looking at this thread for any update.
Update: So I gave my GRE and I am not satisfied with my performance. Planning to retake the test.
How did it go?
@@janniesworld173 about to give it on 26 march

@@janniesworld173 thank you very much for the wishes. I will update here about the outcome of the same
@@latestmoviesandflixz5456 How did it go?
Hey @intersecting parallels, I have exactly 6 days left thanks to me procrastinating for ages. The 5lb.has quite a lot of chapters to be solved in 5 days' time. Can you let me know how you'd go about it if you were to go back in time and give the test again? i.e what chapters will you omit, what are the important topics etc.
I suggest solving around 5 midtier(not easy or not too hard) questions from each chapter. Identify which topic/chapter you're lagging behind and concentrate on only those. If you improve in them, venture out to other chapters.
@@intersectingparallels3481 gotcha👍
What was your scor
Hi! I was unable to access the Google play link for the mnemonics. Would it be possible for you to share the link again? Thank you so much! :D
Thanks for bringing it to my attention Vedika. I have updated the link in the description. Hopefully it's working now.
@@intersectingparallels3481 It’s working now, thank you! 😊
Bro I followed your tips got 315 from 304 in 3 days thanks bro
I too have 3 days left and am too at 300 points, give me some valuable tips bro
Yo, I'm in the same boat. Can we connect anyhow? @rajpeswani4049 @doknome9942
Hey. I just wanted to know what should be the exact amount of time that one should devote to GRE prep a day to actually score above 320?
depends on your skills level some people can do it in 10 days and others cant do it even in 2 months. take a moc test and you will know
Hey! I’m watching this video just after giving my mock and I scored 303 and my test is in like 9 days and I’m seriously tensed as I had prepared a lot for verbal Tc and SE specifically ( and ignored RC all along) can you suggest something to just boost my verbal score? Honesty I’m v scared
Hey! Just watch word list given by TESTED TUTOR, it will surely improve your verbal score.
@@rishikitawat I just gave my gre lol And scores are just miserable. I’ll take your advice into consideration when I reappear in a month.
Thanx :)
@@rishikitawat Hey! I am also struggling in finding the right video for improving my GRE vocab. I have my test in 15 days and I don't know which video of Tested Tutor to watch ... is it 600 words or the economist or 101 high frequency..
How to improve RC's? Any tips plz
@@raghavtigadi9558 GREGMAT is the key here. previously i used to get like 1/4 right but now i usually get 3/4 and sometimes all of them (when I'm not anxious).
I got a 320 on my Gre with 160 in both Q and V
Should i be happy w this score?
I am praying for this score😂
Hey Suraj, which intake were you applying for? Any particular reason behind taking the test in such a short time span?
I was applying for the Fall 21 intake and I didn't have the luxury to write it again or take more time in preparing as the deadlines for the final round was approaching. Hence the frantic timeline.
Oh okay, so what month did you take the test in? @@intersectingparallels3481
@@johanngeorge784 GRE in Feb and TOEFL in March
@@intersectingparallels3481 so did you got the admit for fall 21' if yes. Which university?
Do you still have those flashcards and memonics.. Share with us then
Hey Disha, kindly check out my pinned comment.
Hey.. suraj how many words in total did you memorize?
As I had only 5 days, I could memorise around only 300 words. But you will need to learn a lot more than that!
@@intersectingparallels3481 well, getting a 314 on gre that too with only memorizing 300 words is exceptional..... this means you have great reading skills!!
@@darshanvanarse4909 Thanks for that :) I do read a lot of books, so my reading speed is a bit high which helped in RCs.
I am too stressed to give my second attempt on gre in 10 days to jump from 305 to atleast 315 and found your video.... Your video really motivated me. 👍👍
Glad it helped :) ...10 days is more than sufficient to get at least 10 point jump.
I would advice you to ... a) take timed tests and b) being in the zone of solving problems (if you slack off for few days without exercising your brain, it will take more time to get your brain up to speed.)...Good luck for your exam!
So you done with your second attempt or not ???
@@yadavshantnu9890 Not yet, Planning to give it by 13th sept.
@@jyotikhare106 how much did you get in second attempt ?
Hi, how much you got in reattempt, and hiw diff it was?
This is a great story! Tell us more about you, if possible. Curious!
Glad you liked it Mohammad Bashir :) ...If you would like to know more about me or my thoughts, you can check out "Curiosphere" which is a podcast I co-host with my friend. We mainly discuss about Space, philosophy, science, etc.
@@intersectingparallels3481 Sounds super! Will follow that too. But it would be great, if you could tell us a bit more about admission journey too!
@@mohammadbashir9995 Sure, I basically applied to 11 universities for MEM program as I thought I had less chances of getting in the last round. But luckily I got admits from 9 of them. 1 was a reject and the other one had a WES evaluation process which I was too lazy to complete. Of the 9 admits, I chose Northwestern University (as its one of top 9 universities in MEM-PC).
All this in 5 days ?
Yep, one can do it if they spend at least 12 hours a day but you can get pretty much 325+ with the same resources given slightly more time :)
Can u please suggest how to boost score in AWA section pleasee!!!
Apparently the things that help most people are refuting the argument (even though you agree with it) by giving good examples AND making strong and declarative statements...So instead of saying "I don't think it should be ...", use "It is unacceptable for it to be ..."
Feel free to refer to this guide for more detailed info: magoosh.com/gre/gre-analytical-writing-essay/
@@intersectingparallels3481 Thank you so much...
To address the title, I really don't think it's possible to get a score improvement of almost 15 in 5 days. If you have got less than 300 it's a sign that your fundamentals are weak and that you would need a lot more time understanding your concepts and then actually applying that under GRE conditions. I agree with what resources you have posted, I think those are great, but in 5 days....it's a stretch to say.
Don't mean to demotivate anyone here, but you would need to start your preparation at least 1-2 months prior to GRE if you want to get a reasonable score.
ASMR!!!!🙌🙌🙌🙌
i have a suggestion who wants to learn gre can refer to magoosh videos they are very effective
Hmmm, i have 45 days to prepare that means i can casually waste 40 days now. 🤌🤯😆. #motivation #engineer
