Need a new study regime #1 (permalink) Tue Oct 28, 2008 4:20 am   Need a new study regime
 

So i took the gre and scored a 1400. Honestly i'm a little disappointed since that's the same score i scored before studying when i took practice tests; however, i will take it again in a month, and I hope to do better.

I am happy to say that after months of studying vocabulary i managed to flip scores and make a 750 on the verbal and a 650 on the math. For the first time i was unable to complete the math section in time..i think not doing that type of math for 6-8 months hurt me...so i will review math and hopefully score the 780-800 that I usually manage in practice tests.

Also, it's kind of embarassing for a physics major to score below 700 in math: but when you start learning upper level math it's a different kind of problem, and you forget how to work the other stuff as quickly.

Anyways, i figure i can just work practice problems/tests for the math section..maybe even do GMAT prep questions too since i've considered taking that.

But for the verbal section, i no longer have anything to study. I completed learning all of Barron's word lists.. I'm actually proud of myself for increasing my vocabulary by 400-500 words. however, i found that when i took the test, there were only a couple of words that i did not knowing the basic meaning of. However, to score a 750 i must have missed maybe 5-8 questions? So i'm guessing that some of those questions that had many answers that were very close threw me off. I'm guesing i need more practice at analogies and critical reading (as i have never known myself to miss those sentence completion questions..and even antonyms are easier than the analogies).

However, does anyone have any advice for me besides taking lots of practice tests in the following months? I would like a new vocab list of different words than barron's..and maybe if there was a website with difficult analogies to practice where the answer could be explained?
