Got a GRE® score 1100!

[Trabz]

Well I took the exam yesterday and I got a score of 1100 (720 quant and 380 verbal).

I am bit satisfied with this score since I was struggling with GRE in the last 6 months.

It is like the 3rd time i do this exam and this time I got this higher score.
It is bit low but it is better than nothing. I am an international student so I hope they will get into consideration the verbal part. However I got 100 on Toefl ibt.
I memorized words and words (from Barron's and Princeton) but in unfortunately none came!

Good luck for all,
I guess I should earn a PhD degree in GRE!

Trabz cong.

Eventough your score is not so high, it is still considerable for a international student. I am also preparing for GRE and going to take it on Jan. 29. As you said, I also memorized about 1500 words through GRE Bible however there is no significant change on verbal score. It still ranges between 320-420. I think that it depends on your chance. Even if you memorize 2500 words, it is still possible to have all questions from the rest 500 words. :) That is annoying but true. I am aiming a score between 1100-1200 and that seems like that it is up to my chance to get these scores :) Also if you have any advice for the week just before the test date, we will appreciate.

I believe that Verbal is a matter of luck
I studied with my friend the same words , but he got 510 on verbal. He is not better than me in English though!
u should practice and practice math. This is what I did.

Hello

I took the exam yesterday and got 1110 (770 Q + 340 V). I do not even talk about verbal. Especially analogies are hardest I have ever seen. Anyway, I gained the score I need despite of low verbal score. nothing to do with verbal, I do not have time to study and retake the test so I am going to apply with these scores. I think my toefl score will compensate the low gre verbal score and my other credentials are good so I think I will be admitted one of the three universities I am going to apply. Also, I will appreciate if you name one or two univesity (between first 300) that may accept international students with low verbal scores.

your quantitative is excellent thought

Honestly I don't know which universities accept this low verbal score. It depends on your major chosen.
From my side, I didnt apply to Wisconsin , Berkely or Cornell b/c I am sure that they wt even look at my file when they see my score :D
I sent my application to OSU, Kansas State , Georgia, and Mcgill.

hahaha :) agree with you Trabz, it will be highly imaginary to apply the universities between top 10 with these low verbal scores. university of utah, san diego state and texas a&m university are the universities i am going to apply. in addition to these universities i concieve to apply either Kansas State or Colorado State, have not decide about it yet. Also maybe i could apply one university that does not require GRE scores for admission. I know that Portland State and Cal State Long Beach accepts students without GRE test for certain departments.
