I started off with these Magoosh / GreenlightTestPrep videos. I tried to study for GRE during my summer internship, but couldn’t do much beyond understanding the exam pattern. Payment require credit card (keep one handy, it is needed for graduate applications too), and the cost is a whopping 205$! GRE Preparation June to October are rush-hours, and it’s often hard to get weekend slots. I gave my GRE exam on 28th August, 2017 (for reference, my graduate applications were due in December 2017), and registered for it on 27th June, 2017. This is not needed for Computer Science or Electrical Engineering programs. How much does your GRE score matter? This varies a lot across universities, but popular opinion (and several admission guides like Philip Guo’s and Mor Harchol-Balter’s) says it’s just used as a threshold in higher ranked universities.Īdditionally, a few streams (like Physics) might need a Subject GRE. In essay writing, a score of 4+ is considered safe.

For engineering graduate programs, a score of 325+ is considered safe, with close to full marks in quant. Additionally, your essay writing skills are manually evaluated out of 6 marks. The GRE is scored out of 340 marks - 170 marks quant, 170 marks verbal. People trained in an english-medium school or college generally sail through TOEFL without much preparation. TOEFL is generally a lot easier than GRE. TOEFL (iBT - internet Based Test) is a simple test of reading, writing, listening and speaking skills.
Most engineering students find the quantitive section really easy, but struggle with verbal and essay writing. GRE is a test of basic quantitive skills, verbal skills (primarily vocabulary, comprehension and inference) and essay writing. GRE and TOEFL are necessary exams for most graduate college applications abroad. This guide will focus on preparation for GRE, while the next guide will focus on TOEFL. I might write a blog on grad school admission in the future (of course, conditioned on the admits I get!) While there exist several excellent resources to help you prepare ( Magoosh, GreenlightTestPrep, Princeton Review, Manhattan), I thought it would be useful to share my personal experience with both tests. I recently gave the GRE and TOEFL exams in preparation for MS / PhD applications.
