A USEFUL TIP FOR GRE EXAM

The GRE (Graduate Record Exam) is the primary requirement for getting admissions in the graduate schools located in the United States. The test is administered by ETS and a good score would increase the chances of entering a top notch university.

The Verbal section demands proper understanding of the words and its meaning depending upon the context. The Quantitative i.e Mathematics section tests the person's basic understanding of concepts in algebra and geometry along with interpretation of statistical data in the form of graphs, pie charts etc. Though the quantitative section requires the student to be in constant touch with the formulas which will improve the speed of calculation. According to statistics it is been proven that most of the students coming from India and some other countries fair well in quantitative section. Hence the difficulty for some students lies in the verbal section which insists on mastering around 3600 words. This task can be made easier if we try to remember all the words associated with a single word. By doing this a student is able to understand the context of the given word which is the primary requirement in sentence completion. Recently i came across such a material and I would like to share it with you. Click here to download it.

Mastering all 3600 words may prove to be a difficult task for students who start preparing at the last minute. In this case you can refer the website exambell.com. This site maintains the database of the words that have asked in the examination. To be honest i started preparing in the last minute for GRE and this site really helped me in getting a decent score. It is hard to believe but it is the truth that almost all of the words in the exam are recurrent. Out of all the questions i got more than 7 questions which is quiet a big number. On the other hand this site can help the students who regularly prepare in securing a good score.

To conclude i just hope that this information was useful to you. All the best!!!!!!!!!!!!
