**How to study for the GRE??**

Published

Hello all! I am in the process of getting my BSN and I am wanting to take the GRE as soon as I can so I can focus directly on my other CRNA pre-reqs. I was wanting to know what programs/books you all used?? I saw this turbo prep class online that is like 1300 dollars. It is 5 days long and they garuntee a minimum score of 1300. Has anyone heard of it?? I have been out of the math/extensive grammar scene for many years so I am extremely rusty. So bad that I forgot how to add fractions. I know, it's terrible. I need some help! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks so much! :DFuture

Thank you all for the wonderful responses and advice. I think I'm just going to buy a kaplan/princeton review book and take the classes that they offer! :)

Thanks again! :)

I'm studying for the GRE right now. I have found in the last 2 weeks that my math skills have progressed exponentially but the verbal sections give me the hardest time. I'm studying from the Kaplan GRE math/verbal review books. I also believe that not everyone has the capacity to score a 1300. I've found that in the verbal section you either know the word or you don't, simple as that. however, the math section is testing your logic more than your general knowledge. I believe that if you don't remeber how to add fractions than definitely study to refresh your skills, but the GRE will test logic and efficiency. I also believe that if you can improve your score anywhere its more likely going to be your verbal section, because you can actually study to learn those GRE words.

Hello all!

I am wanting to know if anyone has heard of the MLIC Turboprep GRE course. It is quite pricey and I can't seem to find any honest reviews about it.....you know...besides the website testimonials. I did find one chatroom and 4 people said it is really good but I want to hear some of your opinions!

Thanks! :)

I agree with many above. The Kaplan GRE book I found helpful and they have a list of common words and I saw many of them on the exam. I scored around 1200 I think and the bookds helped me.

As stated above, knowing words is important, if you know a word it makes the comparison much easier. Math is nothing complicated just practice practice.

At the end, take a practice exam and this will give you a great idea on how your are doing. Take a couple of days off beforehand and relax. I am not usually great at those type of tests.
