Like for any standardized admissions test, ‘What’s a good score?’ remains the golden question from GRE candidates. Sadly, there is no definitive answer to this question, but I will try to enlighten you on some of the mystery. Firstly, you need to understand that the answer will be different for everyone. What I suggest is to take some time and energy to research exactly what score you need to gain entrance into your desired masters program or university.

At 75 minutes, the analytical writing section of the GRE is the most lengthy portion of the exam. In contrast, the quantitative section lasts 45 minutes, and the verbal section, often quoted as the most difficult portion, is a mere 30 minutes long. That means it’s time to gear up for this writing challenge!

The GRE Verbal section is often quoted as the more difficult section of the test. The reason is that so many of the answer options available will seem incredibly similar. The key to success is acquiring the ability to decipher the differences between seemingly identical answers.  This section of the test is designed to really test your reasoning and verbal skills to the limit.

Many students report feeling jittery before the various admissions-related exams including the TOEFL, IELTS, GMAT, GRE, and SAT. Recognizing that excessive nervousness can be detrimental to test taking, some seek ways to keep their cool. Peruse these tips to keep up your confidence and stay relaxed for that important test day.

1. Practice, practice, practice. The more you study and practice, the more confident you will feel about your test.
