I covered a whole lot of concepts by participating in the daily Q & A sessions, particularly relishing days when quant was the focus. It took me a few days to exhaust those study materials before engaging in intense practice on the GRE group, as you had to be active on the group else, you’d be kicked out.

For my performance in the verbal section, just skip, lol. While I initially felt very confident about my ability with any kind of quant, considering my engineering background and knowing the topics it generally covers, my performance was average and reality set in really fast. My preparation started with the Official GRE (quantitative and verbal) reasoning materials by ETS 150 practice questions, where I learned the general structure of the exam and immediately tested my ability to tackle GRE-like questions with the sample questions and answers provided.

Barely a week after introducing myself on the group after being added, a weekday was assigned to me (and new fellows) to coordinate the evening’s question and answer sessions, hence I had to sit up almost immediately. A few graduate students (mostly PhD students in the US), who give useful advice and encouragement, and some others who have already secured admission with funding, continuously gave me hope. Also, one or more people selected to coordinate the day’s session, were in place.

In the group, relevant aids including tips on how to get around your graduate school journey, links to GRE (and TOEFL) study materials and tons of questions from materials were posted on a daily basis, mostly in the evening. Till date, the “NEW GRE GROUP ANNEX” I was added to is the most active (by every significant measure) WhatsApp group chat I’ve ever been involved with.

My journey started early May, this year, when I was added to a GRE group chat courtesy of Ismail Olaniyi who introduced me to most of what I know today about the graduate school journey. MY SCORE: Quant – 169, Verbal – 151, making a total of 320. The analytical writing is scored over 6, quant and verbal each scored over 170. The computer based exam has six sections: 1 Analytical writing section (I’ll call it AWA) divided into two essay tasks – an argument essay in which you evaluate an argument for its validity and an issue essay in which you generally write about the extent to which you agree with a claim or statement, 2 quantitative sections, 2 verbal sections and 1 experimental section (either quant or verbal). In case you’re not familiar with the term, GRE is an acronym for Graduate Record Examination – an exam required by graduate schools (mostly in the US, Canada, and a few other countries) for admission to Masters and PhD programs.
