My GRE exam is in 2 weeks, I have been preparing for the last 2 months. I recently took the practice 1 test in the OG GRE Book.
I got all the text completion questions wrong except 1. Moreover, in the PP2 test, I have gotten majority questions wrong in text completion too.

I followed the 2 months plan of GregMat.
I need some advice on to how to tackle my text completion questions, so that I at least get the 1 blankers correct and few 2 blankers on my test.

I have seen videos and followed the math strategy, time contrast etc. But, when I get a question I’m unable to apply it properly or guess a word that correctly fits in.

Would a private tutoring from GregMat help me in this? Or do you guys know of any more strategies or mentors who could help me with this situation.

I took the GRE today and unfortunately scored 152 in Quant, which was much lower than I expected based on my practice.

For preparation, I completed GregMat’s I’m Overwhelmed Plan for Quant and worked through the entire ETS Official Guide, including all of the Quant questions.

My practice results were:
ETS Official Guide Practice Test 1: 160Q
ETS Official Guide Practice Test 2: 164Q
POWERPREP: 24/27 correct

Actual GRE today: 152Q

I felt like I understood the concepts while studying, so I’m pretty disappointed and confused by the gap between my practice performance and the real test.

I’m planning to retake it and would really appreciate advice from anyone who experienced something similar.
What should I do differently for my retake? Should I go through GregMat/PrepSwift again, focus on timed practice, use Manhattan 5 lb, GregMat’s question bank/mini exams, or another resource?

My goal is 162+ Quant.
Would especially love to hear from people who scored around 150–155 on their first attempt and managed to reach 160+ on a retake.

Thank you!

I have been having a really hard time reviewing mistakes and re teaching myself correct answers, so I have been looking at some online GRE prep courses to see if that will help. How do you track missed questions without making it feel like a second job?

For those who have already taken the GRE, which practice tests did you feel were the closest match to the real exam in terms of question difficulty, wording, and overall experience?

I’ve tried a few different practice tests and noticed that the difficulty can vary quite a bit between them. Curious to hear which ones felt most representative of the actual GRE.

I am planning on writing the GRE this year ideally by sept because I want to go for an MBA in 2027 fall sem.

I started with 2 month plan this year in feb, kind of stayed consistent for 2 months but because work got really hectic i stopped and i have recently purchased the prepswift plan

I am not very good in quant or verbal. Want to know which plan i should use for both with someone who is also working at the moment that can yeild best results.
I study after work and on weekends.

Need serious advice/help

Please help me find live offline classes in Bangalore for GRE prep. Want to give exam in the next 2 months
