nice post!!
I have two weeks left to appear on my Gre and i just
read your insightful preparation procedure.
But i have a few questions on where to find a few
things like: the notepads version of big book,Dr. raju
Site for practicing the quants, the quant database
that you were talking about and where to download
the NOVA SAT math bible and Dr. raju's non
baron words database.

this is no judgement on anyone, its just that we have
forgotten and just need to have a look at it again. This
is all what quants ask according to me. More than
90% of the people on the forum give CAT, 80% go to
coaching classes for CAT to IMS or CL or times and
trust me the level there is way too high for a simple
reason that you can skip questions on CAT and but
not here. Ill tell in detail of how to deal with Verbal
and quant both in details below
A basic Schedule for three months can be
A month for Vocab, I mean at atleast two rounds of
the whole 50 lists.
Another 20 days for 2-3 rounds of the whole 50 lists.
By 4 rounds I believe things will be on your grasps.
Rest time, should be done for Big book and barrons, I
think thatƞs more than enough. Try to solve big book
twice and use the notepas version I have uploaded.
Its got Analogies / Reading comprehensions /
antonyms / SCs all as different sets which will really
work great than the stupid PDF tests which are really
hard to look at.
Parallel with the Vocab, Start with your quant, R S
aggarwal is best for this, Even the Firangs Download
and study it, I read this on Test magic. Practice
individually and finish as per your convenience, I donƞt
think Its gonna take more than a Month. Switch to
NOVA next for other things like Geometry, P&C, Coordinate
etc. you can do that whole book in 7 days ( if
you are lazy). After this is done, Start with the
Database, Try not skip any question, unless the
question itself is ludicrous. The DB I uploaded is from
January 2008 to march 10th 2010, Download that and
keep updating whenever it updates. Its really amazing
for practice. If you cant do questions, post them here,
Youƞll find a lot of people ready to answer you and you
should too participate in these discussions as it ll lead
to a lot of shortcuts. Last 2 weeks can be given to
tests and revisions to be planned by you.
üne month Prep strategy
Even if you are whiz kid, chances of vocabulary being
great are ludicrously long shot. In such a scenario,
donƞt beat the bush and think of finishing everything
in the world. Instead, if you are working, take a med
leave for a month, show some broken bones or
jaundiceƦand start off
For verbal, Download the wordlist from
majortests.com, its got 1500 words all stacked as per
similar meanings or as technical term says synonyms.
Besides these, pick up the high power barron words.
Thatƞs it, no more and no less. If you get time , just
have a look at the verbal database for the last three
months, I Think this will take the boat.
The above can be done in parallel with maths in 20
days tops. Its crash course, you gotta work hard. Start
with big book next day, and that can be over in 5 days
maximum.Youƞre done for verbal.

finish it in arnd 7-8 days, and start with the database
ASAP. Try n finish the whole thing till the last one is
updated on the Dr. raju Site. Donƞt participate in the
forum, but be good observer. Because you are in a
state of watch your watch.
Last 3-4 days, give 1 powerprep, depending on the
score give another. If you get really good, Try for
Kaplan, and before the exam give a Cambridge ( itƞs a
feel good exam)
Above if done sincerely, An *** or a dumb like me can
get around 1200-1300, but keep the mind open
throughout the month.
cndividual Section Preparation
Verbal
Depends, Really Totally depends. How you want to
approach. Just remember donƞt go for the overkill, If
you remember lets say 2500 words, and if you find a
question which doesnƞt give u god damn clue, Piss on
it and move on. Unless u r aiming for 800 in verbal.
The best thing about the adaptive thing is you get an
easy one after a wrong, but after a row of right
answers, you still get an easy question. Just try not to
get wrong in a row. And keep an attitude, like I am
the best, **** the rest. Really helps.
Barrons is the most comprehensive, yeah I am barking
again, but yeah do it in such a way that u remember
the exact meaning of the thing, you may forget the
word but the sounds can really lead you to the
meaning. Some people try prefix and suffix but really
it doesnƞt work everytime. Loathe/ loath .
Wrath/writhe , inveigh/inveigle/invective, list similar
sounding words together, you would never face a
problem. A voracious reader is at a great advantage
on this paper and I am not talking about nancy drew
girls or chetan bhagat or hardy boys. I am talking
really good words, Because the verbal is harder than
SAT. Mnemonics help a lot of people but sometime
mnemonic leads you to a wrong meaning, so try n
make your own, it ll lead you to the correct meaning.
Keep in touch with your vocab. I know when u
practice questions you wont be able to read the words
again, So keep a week to revise the whole thing.
Capacity and grasping power really matters so work it
out your way. Some people love the time table, but
Generally So called engineers make a plan but it keeps
revising because of some or other beer party or
release of a new movie. Just suit yourself here,
because it requires a cool mind and a hot head cant
do it.
I did the wordlists in a scrambled way, not
alphabetically, Because When I read Abase, Abash,
Abate all in one breath, I got Bamboozled and said, I
need scrambled and I found one too. I have posted
that on the forum and I know it Ɲll help atleast 20% of
you who read this. Its better to learn from someone
elseƞs *** getting rambed , than putting yourƞs on the
Analogies
Well, With the words, it would be awesome, if you
learn the parts of speech, just basic, noun, pronoun,
verb, adverb stuff like that, Its given in probably 5th
standard English books. Or more sophisticated Wren
and Martin. The reason is that even if bad luck clashes
with the words on exam and you donƞt have an idea
on the words, you can identify parts of speech and
match accordingly. Makes sense doesnƞt it. The nouns,
collective nouns, male female type analogies hardly
appear. So whatever is there in barrons and big book,
thatƞs really more than enough. Following are some
tips
?×Create a sentence that includes the two capitalized
words. Ideally, the sentence should reveal the essence
of the relationship between the two words, and should
not be so specific that none of the answer choices will
fit, or so general that several fit. Here are two
examples of the types of sentences that might zero in
on the correct choice:
€ One possible function of a [first word] is to
[second word].
€ [First word] is a condition that is necessary in
order for [second word] to occur.
?^Eliminate any answer choice in which the two
words are unrelated to each other. Typically, at least
one answer choice will fit this description. You can
eliminate all such choices without even considering
the original pair!
? ó If you know only one of the two words in an
answer choice, you can always take an educated
guess, even with just one of the words. You can often
eliminate an answer choice by knowing just one of the
two words.
?_If one of the original words has either a negative or
positive connotation, the corresponding word in the
correct answer choice will be similarly "charged." But
if the original word is neutral, the corresponding word
in the correct answer choice must be neutral as well.
?e You can often guess the meaning of unfamiliar
words. Any of the following might provide a clue
about what a word means:
€ Another word that resembles the word in any
way
€ The word's root or prefix
€ The meaning of the other word in the pair
?ü Look out for the sucker-bait answer choice that
involve the same subject as the original pair. More
often than not, this sort of answer choice is wrong.
Antonyms
Probably the easiest. If you know the word. The only
catch is secondary meanings of words which often
appear. This is the direct test of your vocabulary. ?ƒ

Try working backward Ɯfrom an answer choice to
the capitalized word Ɯto help gain insight if your
stuck. Try to think of a single word (not a phrase) that
expresses the opposite of the answer choice. Ask
yourself whether your antonym for the answer choice
is a good synonym for the headword? If not, you can
eliminate the answer choice.
?ð If an answer choice stumps you, resort to intuition
by asking yourself two questions:
€ Can you express the opposite idea using only
one word (as opposed to a phrase)? If not, the
answer is probably wrong.
€ Can you imagine hearing the headword used in
connection with the answer choice's antonyms?
If not, go with your hunch an eliminate that
answer choice.
?_If you're stuck, try converting a word to another
part of speech. Many GRE words are difficult to deal
with simply because their part of speech (noun, verb,
or adjective) is not commonly used. Turning the word
into a more familiar form can help.
?/ Be sure to look for an antonym, not a synonym!
This might seem like obvious advice, yet it's amazingly
easy to get everything backwards during the pressure
of the actual exam. The slightest lapse in
concentration can result in your carelessly choosing a
synonym instead of an antonym. Avoid "synonym
syndrome" by always verifying your choice before you
move on.
?ƢResolve close judgment calls in favor of the more
specific antonym. This is another one of the testmakers'
common ploys, and it is sometimes the key to
distinguishing a best response from a second-best
one. Always be on the lookout for this ploy!
In most Antonym questions, the best answer isn't a
perfect antonym. The test-makers can't resist hiding
the ball from you; so don't expect to find an exact
opposite among the answer choices.
eading passages
I ask nothing, Really just 2 passages a day , just 10
minutes of a day. If u can do this for a month, I
guarantee atleast half the questions on RCs on the D
day will be right. Big book RCs are really tough, and
even GRE exam have easy passages compared to
them, If you are good with them, youƞll kill any RC
that comes your way. The tips for RCs can be read
from any book you feel like, but really one ugly truth
is that there is no shortcut. You got 2 solve the puzzle.
Sentence Completion
Perhaps you just to understand the mood of the
sentence, and itƞs a test of your language skills more
than the vocabulary. Following are some of my tips
?_Look for key words and phrases in the sentence
that tell you where the sentence is going. Is it
continuing along one line of thought? If so, you're
Try working backward Ɯfrom an answer choice to
the capitalized word Ɯto help gain insight if your

looking for a word that supports that thought. Is it
changing direction in midstream? If so, you're looking
for a word that sets up a contrast between the
thoughts in the sentence.
Words signal blanks that go with the flow:
and, also, consequently, as a result, thus, hence, so
Words signal blanks that shift gears:
but, yet, although, on the other hand, in contrast,
however, nevertheless
?$ To get your mental wheels turning and help you
to "get into" the question, first think of your own
words that complete the sentence at hand. Although
you shouldn't expect to find your words verbatim
among the answer choices (most GRE Sentence
Completion questions aren't that easy), determining
up front what sort of words you're looking for will help
you zero in on the best answer choice.
?7 Don't choose an answer to a dual-blank question
just because one of the words is a perfect fit. As often
as not, one word that fits perfectly is paired with
another word that doesn't fit well at all. This is the
test-makers' most common Sentence Completion ploy;
don't fall for it!
?_Check for usage and idiom problems if you're
having trouble homing in on the best answer.
Sentence Completion questions cover not just overall
sentence sense but also word usage and idiom (how
ideas are expressed as phrases). So eliminate any
answer choice that makes any part of the sentence
confusing, awkward, or sound wrong to your ear.
?ê In dual-blank questions, if you can eliminate just
one of the words, the whole choice won't work, so you
can toss it out and go on.
?¹ Don't confirm your response until you've
considered each and every one of the five answer
choices. Remember: The qualitative difference
between the best and second-best answer choice can
be subtle.
Quantitative Section
If youƞve just begun your preparation, your first step
should be to solve all the math exercises in the NOVA
SAT BIBLE guide. In this book, each math concept is
given separately followed by a set of exercises based
on that concept. This arrangement is very useful
because it helps to gauge how well you can apply the
concept youƞve just learnt and pinpoint your weak
areas., the NOVA SAT BIBLE guide is an indispensable
part of your preparation because it covers all the basic
definitions related to number theory (prime numbers,
whole numbers, etc.) and geometry (peculiar
properties of certain figures). But remember that all
the necessary concepts are not covered here.
Next going, is to pack some chapters from R S
aggarwal. Believe me the real Quant of maths
amazing and high level, but the concepts of
percentage, profit loss, ratio, time and work are
amazing and to put the cherry the data interpretation
is amazing and closest to Real GRE with every kind of
looking for a word that supports that thought. Is it
changing direction in midstream? If so, you're looking

stuck. Try to think of a single word (not a phrase) that
expresses the opposite of the answer choice. Ask
yourself whether your antonym for the answer choice

This is the number one reason why even the best

day will be right. Big book RCs are really tough, and
even GRE exam have easy passages compared to
them, If you are good with them, youƞll kill any RC
that comes your way. The tips for RCs can be read
from any book you feel like, but really one ugly truth
is that there is no shortcut. You got 2 solve the puzzle.
Sentence Completion
Perhaps you just to understand the mood of the
sentence, and itƞs a test of your language skills more
than the vocabulary. Following are some of my tips
?Ï Look for key words and phrases in the sentence
that tell you where the sentence is going. Is it
continuing along one line of thought? If so, you're
Try working backward Ɯfrom an answer choice to
the capitalized word Ɯto help gain insight if your
stuck. Try to think of a single word (not a phrase) that
expresses the opposite of the answer choice. Ask

For example, some of the common types of silly
mistakes are as follows.
1.Not considering zero, fractions and negative
numbers while solving inequalities or picking numbers.
Remember that when ETS say a number is real, it can
be positive, negative, fractional or zero. Donƞt assume
itƞs always positive and donƞt draw your own
conclusions.
2.Taking leave of common sense. Sometimes we get
so involved with the nitty-gritties of mathematics that
we start functioning like automatons and stop
thinking. Donƞt fall prey to this trap. For example,
what is the probability that a number amongst the
first 1000 positive integers is divisible by 8? Donƞt start
counting the multiples of 8! The figure of 1000 is a
red herring. Use a little common sense. The numbers
will be 8,16,24,32ƦSo, 1 in every 8 numbers is a
multiple of 8, even if you consider the first million
integers. So Probability is 1/8 (Question from Power-
Prep.)
3.Not drawing figures. Drawing figures, especially in
questions relating to geometry, speed, etc. makes the
question ten times easier to understand. Drawing
figures also makes the question more true to life. For
example, if ETS tells you that Sally lives 10 miles due
west of John and Anna lives 14 miles due north of
John, you can bet your farm they want you to use the
Pythagoras theorem. Donƞt miss the obvious; draw a
diagram.
4.Forgetting definitions. If you forget that 1 is not a
with it myself that I thought I was doomed to make a
small mistake somewhere. By making yourself aware
of the common types of silly mistakes you can greatly
reduce becoming susceptible to them. What you have
to do is to constantly keep them at the back of your
mind during the test, and while solving a problem, just
run a mental check to see whether your approach falls
prey to most common types. Since each individual
may find different concepts problematic, the best
remedy is to make a list of your own math vices,
which can be drawn from the many practice exercises
that you solve. After a while, youƞll start seeing a
pattern where you make the same kind of silly
mistakes again and again. Note them down carefully.

The Careless Mistakes bug biting everyone
This is the number one reason why even the best

thoughts in the sentence.
Words signal blanks that go with the flow:
and, also, consequently, as a result, thus, hence, so
Words signal blanks that shift gears:
but, yet, although, on the other hand, in contrast,
however, nevertheless
?£ To get your mental wheels turning and help you
to "get into" the question, first think of your own
words that complete the sentence at hand. Although
you shouldn't expect to find your words verbatim
among the answer choices (most GRE Sentence
Completion questions aren't that easy), determining
up front what sort of words you're looking for will help
you zero in on the best answer choice.
?· Don't choose an answer to a dual-blank question
just because one of the words is a perfect fit. As often
as not, one word that fits perfectly is paired with
another word that doesn't fit well at all. This is the
test-makers' most common Sentence Completion ploy;
don't fall for it!
?ƦCheck for usage and idiom problems if you're
having trouble homing in on the best answer.
Sentence Completion questions cover not just overall
sentence sense but also word usage and idiom (how
ideas are expressed as phrases). So eliminate any
answer choice that makes any part of the sentence
confusing, awkward, or sound wrong to your ear.
?ë In dual-blank questions, if you can eliminate just
one of the words, the whole choice won't work, so you
can toss it out and go on.
?¹ Don't confirm your response until you've
considered each and every one of the five answer
choices. Remember: The qualitative difference
between the best and second-best answer choice can
be subtle.

If youƞve just begun your preparation, your first step
should be to solve all the math exercises in the NOVA

given separately followed by a set of exercises based
on that concept. This arrangement is very useful
because it helps to gauge how well you can apply the

part of your preparation because it covers all the basic

Because I have seen people clamoring for material

remedy is to make a list of your own math vices,
which can be drawn from the many practice exercises
that you solve. After a while, youƞll start seeing a
pattern where you make the same kind of silly
mistakes again and again. Note them down carefully.
For example, some of the common types of silly
mistakes are as follows.
1.Not considering zero, fractions and negative
numbers while solving inequalities or picking numbers.
Remember that when ETS say a number is real, it can
be positive, negative, fractional or zero. Donƞt assume
itƞs always positive and donƞt draw your own
conclusions.
2.Taking leave of common sense. Sometimes we get
so involved with the nitty-gritties of mathematics that
we start functioning like automatons and stop
thinking. Donƞt fall prey to this trap. For example,
what is the probability that a number amongst the
first 1000 positive integers is divisible by 8? Donƞt start
counting the multiples of 8! The figure of 1000 is a
red herring. Use a little common sense. The numbers
will be 8,16,24,32ƦSo, 1 in every 8 numbers is a
multiple of 8, even if you consider the first million
integers. So Probability is 1/8 (Question from Powerwith

of the common types of silly mistakes you can greatly
reduce becoming susceptible to them. What you have
to do is to constantly keep them at the back of your
mind during the test, and while solving a problem, just
run a mental check to see whether your approach falls
prey to most common types. Since each individual

Words signal blanks that shift gears:

however, nevertheless
?d To get your mental wheels turning and help you
to "get into" the question, first think of your own
words that complete the sentence at hand. Although
you shouldn't expect to find your words verbatim
among the answer choices (most GRE Sentence
Completion questions aren't that easy), determining
up front what sort of words you're looking for will help
you zero in on the best answer choice.
?x Don't choose an answer to a dual-blank question
just because one of the words is a perfect fit. As often
as not, one word that fits perfectly is paired with
another word that doesn't fit well at all. This is the
test-makers' most common Sentence Completion ploy;
don't fall for it!
?F Check for usage and idiom problems if you're
having trouble homing in on the best answer.
Sentence Completion questions cover not just overall
sentence sense but also word usage and idiom (how
ideas are expressed as phrases). So eliminate any
answer choice that makes any part of the sentence
confusing, awkward, or sound wrong to your ear.
?mIn dual-blank questions, if you can eliminate just
one of the words, the whole choice won't work, so you
can toss it out and go on.
?; Don't confirm your response until you've
considered each and every one of the five answer
choices. Remember: The qualitative difference
between the best and second-best answer choice can
be subtle.
Quantitative Section
If youƞve just begun your preparation, your first step
should be to solve all the math exercises in the NOVA
SAT BIBLE guide. In this book, each math concept is
given separately followed by a set of exercises based
on that concept. This arrangement is very useful
because it helps to gauge how well you can apply the
concept youƞve just learnt and pinpoint your weak
areas., the NOVA SAT BIBLE guide is an indispensable
part of your preparation because it covers all the basic
definitions related to number theory (prime numbers,
whole numbers, etc.) and geometry (peculiar
properties of certain figures). But remember that all
the necessary concepts are not covered here.
Next going, is to pack some chapters from R S
aggarwal. Believe me the real Quant of maths
amazing and high level, but the concepts of
percentage, profit loss, ratio, time and work are
amazing and to put the cherry the data interpretation
is amazing and closest to Real GRE with every kind of
looking for a word that supports that thought. Is it
changing direction in midstream? If so, you're looking
for a word that sets up a contrast between the
thoughts in the sentence.
Words signal blanks that go with the flow:
Try working backward Ɯfrom an answer choice to
the capitalized word Ɯto help gain insight if your
stuck. Try to think of a single word (not a phrase) that
expresses the opposite of the answer choice. Ask
yourself whether your antonym for the answer choice
is a good synonym for the headword? If not, you can
eliminate the answer choice.

eliminate the answer choice.
?: If an answer choice stumps you, resort to intuition
by asking yourself two questions:
€ Can you express the opposite idea using only
one word (as opposed to a phrase)? If not, the
answer is probably wrong.
€ Can you imagine hearing the headword used in
connection with the answer choice's antonyms?
If not, go with your hunch an eliminate that
answer choice.
?MIf you're stuck, try converting a word to another
part of speech. Many GRE words are difficult to deal
with simply because their part of speech (noun, verb,
or adjective) is not commonly used. Turning the word
into a more familiar form can help.
?y Be sure to look for an antonym, not a synonym!
This might seem like obvious advice, yet it's amazingly
easy to get everything backwards during the pressure
of the actual exam. The slightest lapse in
concentration can result in your carelessly choosing a
synonym instead of an antonym. Avoid "synonym
syndrome" by always verifying your choice before you
move on.
?_Resolve close judgment calls in favor of the more
specific antonym. This is another one of the testmakers'
common ploys, and it is sometimes the key to
distinguishing a best response from a second-best
one. Always be on the lookout for this ploy!
In most Antonym questions, the best answer isn't a
perfect antonym. The test-makers can't resist hiding
the ball from you; so don't expect to find an exact
opposite among the answer choices.
eading passages
I ask nothing, Really just 2 passages a day , just 10
minutes of a day. If u can do this for a month, I
guarantee atleast half the questions on RCs on the D
day will be right. Big book RCs are really tough, and
even GRE exam have easy passages compared to
them, If you are good with them, youƞll kill any RC
that comes your way. The tips for RCs can be read
from any book you feel like, but really one ugly truth
is that there is no shortcut. You got 2 solve the puzzle.
Sentence Completion

sentence, and itƞs a test of your language skills more

For example, some of the common types of silly
mistakes are as follows.
1.Not considering zero, fractions and negative
numbers while solving inequalities or picking numbers.
Remember that when ETS say a number is real, it can
be positive, negative, fractional or zero. Donƞt assume
itƞs always positive and donƞt draw your own
conclusions.
2.Taking leave of common sense. Sometimes we get
so involved with the nitty-gritties of mathematics that
we start functioning like automatons and stop
thinking. Donƞt fall prey to this trap. For example,
what is the probability that a number amongst first 1000 positive integers is divisible by 8? Donƞt start
counting the multiples of 8! The figure of 1000 is a
red herring. Use a little common sense. The numbers
will be 8,16,24,32ƦSo, 1 in every 8 numbers is a

small mistake somewhere. By making yourself aware
of the common types of silly mistakes you can greatly
reduce becoming susceptible to them. What you have
to do is to constantly keep them at the back of your
mind during the test, and while solving a problem, just
run a mental check to see whether your approach falls
prey to most common types. Since each individual
may find different concepts problematic, the best
remedy is to make a list of your own math vices,
which can be drawn from the many practice exercises
that you solve. After a while, youƞll start seeing a
pattern where you make the same kind of silly
mistakes again and again. Note them down carefully.

?á To get your mental wheels turning and help you
to "get into" the question, first think of your own
words that complete the sentence at hand. Although
you shouldn't expect to find your words verbatim
among the answer choices (most GRE Sentence
Completion questions aren't that easy), determining
up front what sort of words you're looking for will help
you zero in on the best answer choice.
?¢ Don't choose an answer to a dual-blank question
just because one of the words is a perfect fit. As often
as not, one word that fits perfectly is paired with
another word that doesn't fit well at all. This is the
test-makers' most common Sentence Completion ploy;
don't fall for it!
?p Check for usage and idiom problems if you're
having trouble homing in on the best answer.
Sentence Completion questions cover not just overall
sentence sense but also word usage and idiom (how
ideas are expressed as phrases). So eliminate any
answer choice that makes any part of the sentence
confusing, awkward, or sound wrong to your ear.
?à In dual-blank questions, if you can eliminate just
one of the words, the whole choice won't work, so you
can toss it out and go on.
?ƥ Don't confirm your response until you've
considered each and every one of the five answer
choices. Remember: The qualitative difference
between the best and second-best answer choice can
be subtle.

If youƞve just begun your preparation, your first step
should be to solve all the math exercises in the NOVA
SAT BIBLE guide. In this book, each math concept is
given separately followed by a set of exercises based
on that concept. This arrangement is very useful
because it helps to gauge how well you can apply the
concept youƞve just learnt and pinpoint your weak
areas., the NOVA SAT BIBLE guide is an indispensable
part of your preparation because it covers all the basic
definitions related to number theory (prime numbers,
whole numbers, etc.) and geometry (peculiar
properties of certain figures). But remember that all
the necessary concepts are not covered here.
Next going, is to pack some chapters from R S

mind during the test, and while solving a problem, just
run a mental check to see whether your approach falls
prey to most common types. Since each individual
may find different concepts problematic, the best
remedy is to make a list of your own math vices,
which can be drawn from the many practice exercises
that you solve. After a while, youƞll start seeing a
pattern where you make the same kind of silly
mistakes again and again. Note them down carefully.
For example, some of the common types of silly
mistakes are as follows.
1.Not considering zero, fractions and negative
numbers while solving inequalities or picking numbers.
Remember that when ETS say a number is real, it can
be positive, negative, fractional or zero. Donƞt assume
itƞs always positive and donƞt draw your own
conclusions.
2.Taking leave of common sense. Sometimes we get
so involved with the nitty-gritties of mathematics that
we start functioning like automatons and stop
thinking. Donƞt fall prey to this trap. For example,
what is the probability that a number amongst the
first 1000 positive integers is divisible by 8? Donƞt start
counting the multiples of 8! The figure of 1000 is a
red herring. Use a little common sense. The numbers

small mistake somewhere. By making yourself aware

reduce becoming susceptible to them. What you have

For example, some of the common types of silly
mistakes are as follows.
1.Not considering zero, fractions and negative
numbers while solving inequalities or picking numbers.
Remember that when ETS say a number is real, it can
be positive, negative, fractional or zero. Donƞt assume
itƞs always positive and donƞt draw your own
conclusions.
2.Taking leave of common sense. Sometimes we get
so involved with the nitty-gritties of mathematics that
we start functioning like automatons and stop
thinking. Donƞt fall prey to this trap. For example,
what is the probability that a number amongst the
first 1000 positive integers is divisible by 8? Donƞt start
counting the multiples of 8! The figure of 1000 is a
red herring. Use a little common sense. The numbers

run a mental check to see whether your approach falls

For example, some of the common types of silly
mistakes are as follows.
1.Not considering zero, fractions and negative
numbers while solving inequalities or picking numbers.
Remember that when ETS say a number is real, it can
be positive, negative, fractional or zero. Donƞt assume
itƞs always positive and donƞt draw your own
conclusions.
2.Taking leave of common sense. Sometimes we get
so involved with the nitty-gritties of mathematics that
we start functioning like automatons and stop
thinking. Donƞt fall prey to this trap. For example,
what is the probability that a number amongst the
first 1000 positive integers is divisible by 8? Donƞt start
counting the multiples of 8! The figure of 1000 is a
red herring. Use a little common sense. The numbers

theyƞre tested most often on the real GRE.
1.Statistics (mean, mode, SD, range, ND, graphical
representation of ND)
2.Quadratic equations (roots, type of roots, number of
roots, positive and negative roots, etc.)
3.Series (AP, GP, series definition, nth term of a

6.Speed and work problems (relation between speed,
distance and time, rule of 3, rule of 5, etc.)
7.Some other concepts (ratios, inequalities, etc.)

This is the number one reason why even the best

Please donƞt be a Data collector for this Exam.
Because I have seen people clamoring for material
and when they have, they cant decide which to
choose.
Also, Have made this community
orkut -
its pretty active as of now, and posted all the kings
material over here. You can directly download without
waiting for emails. Discussions are also good, The
reason for making this community was a control over
the posts. The official GRE community on orut is way
too big, and uncontrollable. The Best community for
Verbal is Testmagic, No second thoughts on that.
For who I am, Well Consider me as an rank amateur
(Manu) who did some study and managed a just
about OK score. (1490 on 26th februaryƞ2010, Q800
V690). Generally youƞll find me defending wrong
answers on the above mentioned forum. Ha haƦ.
ATB for PrepƦ.

with it myself that I thought I was doomed to make a
small mistake somewhere. By making yourself aware
of the common types of silly mistakes you can greatly
reduce becoming susceptible to them. What you have
to do is to constantly keep them at the back of your
mind during the test, and while solving a problem, just
run a mental check to see whether your approach falls
prey to most common types. Since each individual
may find different concepts problematic, the best
remedy is to make a list of your own math vices,
which can be drawn from the many practice exercises
that you solve. After a while, youƞll start seeing a
pattern where you make the same kind of silly
mistakes again and again. Note them down carefully.
For example, some of the common types of silly
mistakes are as follows.
1.Not considering zero, fractions and negative
numbers while solving inequalities or picking numbers.
Remember that when ETS say a number is real, it can
be positive, negative, fractional or zero. Donƞt assume
itƞs always positive and donƞt draw your own
conclusions.
2.Taking leave of common sense. Sometimes we get
so involved with the nitty-gritties of mathematics that
we start functioning like automatons and stop
thinking. Donƞt fall prey to this trap. For example,
what is the probability that a number amongst the
first 1000 positive integers is divisible by 8? Donƞt start
counting the multiples of 8! The figure of 1000 is a
red herring. Use a little common sense. The numbers
will be 8,16,24,32ƦSo, 1 in every 8 numbers is a
multiple of 8, even if you consider the first million
integers. So Probability is 1/8 (Question from Power-
Prep.)
3.Not drawing figures. Drawing figures, especially in
questions relating to geometry, speed, etc. makes the
question ten times easier to understand. Drawing

question ten times easier to understand. Drawing
figures also makes the question more true to life. For
example, if ETS tells you that Sally lives 10 miles due
west of John and Anna lives 14 miles due north of
John, you can bet your farm they want you to use the
Pythagoras theorem. Donƞt miss the obvious; draw a
diagram.
4.Forgetting definitions. If you forget that 1 is not a
prime number, youƞre making life hard for yourself.
Definition questions are the easiest to solve.
High scores on the GRE quantitative are so common,
that itƞs no longer such a big deal. All the more reason
why you should get it too. With a little effort and
sincerity, itƞs not all that difficult to achieve. With a
high score, no one can dispute math is not your cup of
tea. Good luck!
