What are some new GRE success stories?

There was a student who was initially weak in the quantitative section of the GRE. She took extra math courses, practiced daily with online resources, and worked with a tutor. Her perseverance paid off as she got a great score in the end. She attributes her success to consistent practice and not being afraid to ask for help. She now studies at a top university.

There was an Indian international student. She was weak in math initially. But she practiced a lot of math problems from different GRE prep books. She also watched online tutorials to understand the concepts better. Eventually, she aced the math section and overall did very well on the GRE, which helped her secure admission in a good graduate school in the UK.

Well, in these success stories, consistent study is really important. Whether it's studying during commute or for a few hours every day. Also, using the right resources such as Revised GRE specific materials, podcasts, and e - books. And not being afraid to ask for help or feedback, like the student who got feedback on their essays from professors.

One common factor is identifying weaknesses. For example, if someone did poorly in the quant section the first time, they focus on improving math skills for the retake.

Sure. One success story could be of a student who was initially very nervous about the GRE. But with dedicated study of at least 3 hours a day for 3 months, focusing on vocabulary and practice tests from the Revised GRE materials, they managed to score really well. They used flashcards for vocabulary and took full - length practice tests every week to improve their time management.

Well, there was this student. In the first GRE attempt, the verbal part let him down. He decided to retake it. He started reading a lot of academic articles to improve his vocabulary and comprehension skills. He also took some prep courses. When he retook the GRE, his verbal score increased significantly, which opened up more opportunities for him to apply to good universities.

We can learn effective study strategies. For example, many gre toppers emphasize the importance of consistent practice. They set aside regular time for studying different sections like verbal and quantitative. Also, they often make use of high - quality study materials and practice tests.

They can inspire us to set high goals. Just like they aimed for a high gre score, we can be motivated to strive for excellence in our own academic pursuits.

Sure. A guy I know was not confident about his writing skills for the GRE. But he started reading a lot of sample essays and practiced writing one essay every day. He also got feedback from his professors. Eventually, he got a really good score on the writing section. His story tells us that practice and getting feedback are crucial.

There could be many inspiring stories. Maybe some top scorers studied intensively for months, sacrificing their social lives. For example, a student might have spent 4 - 5 hours a day just on vocabulary building, which is crucial for the GRE.
