- Hi! Every cent from ads in this video will go to children in Sri Lanka who cannot afford the medicine they need to fight their gastrointestinal autoimmune disorders. This week, we were able to donate $100 to a 14 year old boy fighting ulcerative colitis in a Sri Lankan hospital. This is the first donation generated from the channel, and I hope we can continue to grow as a community. Your viewership is much appreciated.

Thank You so much for the update😇
No problem Anjali! Thanks for watching
I love your content!! Great stuff Sithija!! I’m a big fan :)
Thanks! I was at a friend's place putting this video together!
This was super helpful thank you !!
Thanks for the comment, and good luck Sulema!
Thanks for making a crisp and clear video on newer GRE. There are rumors that the shorter GRE will have less room for error. Do you think this will be the case?
Thank you for the kind comment, Neel. From my understanding, some could argue that there is less room for error. I think that it will be easier now to score higher or lower than your "true" score. This is actually the concept of variance in statistics with a binomial distribution. Basically, you will have a wider spread of expected scores now that your score is based on fewer questions. Hope that helps!
Thank you !!
No problem, Phoebe!
Nice video dear Sithija. By the way, do you or anyone here get how the 27 questions will translate into a 170 scale? This new test takes away the old concept of all questions carrying just one point each (130+40), and I would like to know how this is reflected in the new version.
Hi Aimable, thanks for commenting. This is a good question that isn't covered on the website as far as I know. Maybe if you email ETS they could help answer that. Good question
thank you for the video! as someone with a very weak maths background, how do you think i should divide my study time between the basic mathematical concepts that will be asked and the actual test prep?
Hi Ana! Thanks for watching this video :) I would recommend doing test prep and stopping every 20 questions or so and looking at what topics you need to learn. Then after learning those topics, you can try another 20. I think this might be agood approach. Hope this helps! Good Luck!
Hey! Thanks for the video :) Just wondering since the new GRE will have fewer questions, would each question marked incorrectly have a greater impact on the overall score? For example in a test that is out of 10 questions and each question is 10 points (test total is 100), getting 2 wrong would mean you have an 80%. However, on a test that has 100 questions (each question is 1 point), getting 2 wrong would mean you have a 98%. Not sure if that makes sense, but could you please explain the scoring a bit more and if that analogy is accurate?
Hi Devanshi, thanks for the question. It is indeed proportional, so now each incorrect answer DOES have a greater impact on the overall score. (Likewise, each correct answer also has a greater impact). Hope that helps! Thanks for watching
The impact of the questions is now greater (both ways), would have been better the scoring range is reduced to match the new GRE
Thanks for the video brother! Really appreciate the effort.
Just one question: I took the GRE in June and didn't score well at all. So I am thinking to retaking the exam in October 25th. Do you think that will be okay if I aim for fall 24 intake? Or should I take it before?
Thanks for watching brother! With my personal experience, my first deadline was December 1, so if yours is similar, I would say that October 25th is perfectly fine. According to testprepinsight.com, "Approximately 10 to 15 days after you complete your GRE, you will receive an email notification that states that your score reports have been sent to the schools of your choice. These are known as designated score recipients." Hope that helps!
@@sithijamanage thanks for the information!!
Hi, I jsut watched the video. Its really thankful. Can I ask you that if you have start to study for GRE, which books would you buy to building foundations ? Thank you in advance.
Hi Kevin, thank you for watching. I think I have the best EXACT video for you!: ruclips.net/video/Kprfawmoz9w/видео.html
I just started prepping for the essay and I’ve been finding it difficult. I need a video explaining in details how to tackle it. I watched your video from a year ago(the one you highlighted in this video) and I only saw the links you dropped for possible questions to help as a guide but there are no sample answers. Please help!
Hi Itunanya, thank you for watching! The best advice I've heard about the writing section for the GRE recently is that you should use Chat GPT to act as a grader and provide you feedback! It will score your essay for you, provide you with useful feedback, and also give you a better version of your own essay - you just have to ask it to!
@@sithijamanage Thank you so much for this
Heyy thanks a lot for this great video.
I just need some guidance though. I am presently in my third year of undergraduate. When is the right time for me to take up the GRE if I want to pursue my masters immediately after my undergraduate? Also how do I decide whether to take up GRE/IELTS/TOEFL. Should I give one of them or all?
Hi Padma, thank you for watching! I think that you might want to take the IELTS and then the GRE. As for the timeline, you should take these exams in the fall before you plan to attend the institution in the following year. (For example, take the GRE in Fall 24 to get admitted for Fall 25). I think it is up to you which out of IELTS and TOEFL to take. They are both similar exams. Hope that helps! Good luck
Hi , Can you share the latest syllabus and topics for each section, weightage of questions
Hi Sai, thank you for watching. The topics seem to be remaining the same. For example, here is where the quantitative topics can be found: www.ets.org/gre/test-takers/general-test/prepare/content/quantitative-reasoning.html . Hope that helps!
thank you and you recommend both 5lb Manhattan book and ETS books for practice section. I am in the beginning stage which one should I buy plz respond I am in hurry
Hey Diamondhead! Thank YOU for watching. I think the Manhattan 5lb book would be better to start with
Hey! Did you use gregmat for preparation of GRE? Everyone I talk to uses it, and I am confused if I should do the prep on my own or purchase gregmat. Can you please help me!
Hey Njalan, I personally didn't use Gregmat, but I have heard that it is a really great resource. I don't think that I have heard anyone who tried it say that they didn't think it was worth. Hope that helps!
Is there any strategy to ans questions? As it’s a section level adaptive exam I really need to know the strategy. Thanks❤
Hi Nfahmad, thanks for watching. I wouldn't say that there is really any strategy for answering the questions. I just start with the first question and work through them in order. Let me know if I can help answer your question better. I do have some guidelines in a video for how to prepare for the GRE though! Thanks! Good luck!
Hi, thank you for making this video. What do u think of the 6 month premium gre prep of magoosh ? I still hesitate between buying the book and taking the online courses. ( Ill take my gre on april 7 )
Sorry for the late reply, Mery. Thanks for watching this video! I am not sure about the 6 month premium gre prep. I personally know that the book is quite good if you just work through the problems. Hope that helps!
what was your scoree
I like your videos, bro how can I get the preparation books. I am planning to the exam soon.
There may or may not be a site called libgen 😳
Your videos are really helpful.
I just have a quick question.
I'm currently in third year of undergraduate. Can I take the GRE? I read somewhere that only final year students can take it. Can you please clarify that for me ?
Hi Laiba, sorry I missed this question. Yes, you can take the GRE! It's good for up to 5 years
Hi. I have a question. I want to take both Ielts and GRE exam in a year from now. Do you know which one is better to study and take the exam as my first step?
Hi Mahroo, thanks for watching this video. According to prep.yocket.com, "Based on GRE vs IELTS difficulty level, the GRE test is considered as much harder than IELTS as it has more difficult questions of vocabulary and reading passages." Thus, maybe it would make sense to take the IELTS first. Hope that helps!
Can you provide Material for preparation in vedio
If you were given the choice between the old and new GRE, which one would you take?
Hey Varun, thanks for watching this video! To be honest, I would probably choose the new one.
New one
Can you choose between which GRE to take? Or after the 22nd of September it would only be available the short one?
Hi Zuyi, I think after the 22nd you can only take the new one! Hope that helps
Hi Sithija, I've a small doubt. After giving the exam we've to submit our official GRE scores to at least 4 schools , so can we submit them after coming home and then send it after analyzing the score ?
Hey Akhkha (that means big sister in Sinahala lol), really good question. I am not sure about this one. According to the official ets website, you can look at your scores on test day right after your exam and decide whether or not you want to send your scores. Hope that helps! www.ets.org/gre/test-takers/general-test/scores/send-scores.html#accordion-d35ebe9746-item-97d8af100c
Do you have any idea that, how long does it take to complete a Agriculture Ph D program in USA
Hi Sanjay, thank you for watching. An agriculture PhD program in the USA will take 4-5 years to complete.
Could you talk about GMAT vs GRE, which one to take for business schools? I have a weaker math background and a stronger verbal..
Hi Pranjali, thank you for watching and commenting! I think in your case, the GRE might be a better option because I think the math in the GMAT is more challenging. Hope that helps!
That helps! I heard something about GMAT mistakes being less punishing than GRE mistakes regarding scores. Is that true?
@@pranjalisrivastava4320 I am not sure about which is more punishing. It might be a little bit difficult to compare because the GMAT is a Computer Adaptive Test
does this change the way we should prepare for it ? is ur previous study routine still the best approach? thank u for being so informative and open ,,, great vids
Hi AMMP! Thank you for watching this video and referring to the previous one. It seems that the approach to studying doesn't change at all except just that there isn't as much of a concern about testing fatigue. I think all the preparation stays the same!
@@sithijamanage thank you so much for your reply!! your videos are super inspiring. I am unsure how to approach the exam because I feel like I need to learn the material first before continuing on to study it .. did you study for the exam only through books or attend study sessions as well ?
@@ammp2098 Hi AMMP, I just studied through books!
Do you know of any good online GRE prep courses? I'm looking into Kaplan but not sure if it's worth the money given its only a 3 week course (6 classes total).
Thanks for watching, Amber! I actually am not too familiar with the online GRE prep landscape, but I have heard GREAT things about GregMat. I also know that it's one of the cheapest options. Hope that helps!
@@sithijamanage Thank you for being attentive to your comments & responding in a timely manner. Your videos are well organized and extremely informative!
@@amberfonseca9604 I’m using Greg Mat. He’s really good and recommends the GRE guide produced by ETS themselves. I’m working through it as we speak. Aim to get in for the Autumn of 2025.
i wanna start my prep from, today...but i have applied for GRE in march i wanna reschedule my exam next month...will this gonna affect my exam fee or anyway
Hi Solitary, thank you for watching. I looked it up just now, and it seems that there will be a $50 fee if you reschedule your exam.
Is manhattan 5lb enough for an excellent score in quant? Which supplementary materials are recommended.
Hi James, thanks for watching! Getting through all of the 5lb book is a great idea for scoring high on the quant section. I actually have a whole video on which materials I personally used here: (I hope this helps lol): ruclips.net/video/Kprfawmoz9wn/видео.html
Thanks again!
Would this change affect all centers worldwide?
I wouldn't want to meet the old Gre after hoping to write the new one
Hey Spot, thanks so much for watching and commenting:) Yes, this change will affect all centers worldwide!
Will the GRE subject test be held in India in April 2024? I am not prepared for the test to be given in October. Could you please confirm?
Hi Krittika, thank you for watching. From the ETS website, "In the 2023-24 testing year, the GRE Subject Tests will be administered worldwide on the following dates: September 25, 2023, through October 8, 2023. October 24, 2023, through November 6, 2023. April 7, 2024, through April 20, 2024."
Thank you so much!!
I am planning for FALL 2024 intake. Should I take the new or the old GRE ? Also will taking the new GRE (in sept) affect my timeline for FALL 24 ?
Hi Nishant, thank you for watching! It seems that maybe taking the new GRE is easier. As long as you have your scores sent to the university by the required date, taking the GRE in September should not be a problem. Thanks!
@@sithijamanage thanks alot ! Love your videos and guidance. Could you make a video to prep GRE in 1-2 months ?
@@nishant5270 Hi Nishant! Thanks! I actually made one here! Let me know if you have any questions: ruclips.net/video/ikmRS-t85TQ/видео.html
Same dilemma.
Have you booked it yet?
If yes then the new format or the older.
I am confused about the less questions more weightage vs more questions less weightage
Which GRE should we take OLD or NEW ...will new be any harder?(TARGETING FALL INTAKE 2024) !!
If everything is the same, maybe the new one is better because it is shorter! Thank you so much for watching, Purva!
Will the difficulty of the question increase now that overall time has been decreased?
Hi Rohith, thanks for the comment. To my understanding, the difficulty of the questions are staying the exact same. From the ETS website, "Very little will change. Both tests have the same content and question types. The only difference is that the shorter test will not have the “Analyze an Argument” essay task as part of the Analytical Writing section." Hope that helps! Good luck!
Is gre and toelf both required for masters in USA!?
The GRE and TOEFL are not required for all masters programs in the USA. You will have to check individual school websites to see if they require it. Thank you for watching, Tanuij. Good luck!
Hiii bro I given power prep 1 in ets and I got 308 in how many marks i will get in actual gre
Hi hemanth, thank you for watching. Power prep 1 is generally representative of the actual exam, so if you study hard, you can improve your score above 308!
Please tell best resources and best RUclips channel for ielts preparation
Thank you for watching this video, Hemanth! I would start here: ruclips.net/video/UNwa3Iw0c4E/видео.html
Hi bro , How are you , I am going to start studying GRE , what should I do now.
Hi Balaji, thanks for watching this video! I would start with this one: ruclips.net/video/Kprfawmoz9w/видео.html
How much daily study we need to get top marks in a time period of 3 months
Hi Pratik, thanks for watching this video! Maybe this video will be useful to you: ruclips.net/video/ikmRS-t85TQ/видео.html
Basically, I think spending 1-2 hours per day for 3 months should be sufficient to do your best on the GRE!
Bro is 313 decent score or should i consider retaking in the new pattern?
Thank you for watching, Study Pro. You might want to consider retaking with the new format
Does syllabus change for shorter gre..or it remains same?
Sorry for the late response! The question types are exactly the same!
Shorter GRE score remains same i.e 340?
Hi Himani, thanks for watching! Yes, the GRE score remains the same (340)
Can i write gre without passport vut with valid identity proof ?
Hello Mohammad! Unfortunately, a passport is the only form of identification allowed at GRE centers in India as far as I am aware. Hope that helps!
Of course they would keep the price the same...............
Businesses gonna business😪
Is the new one harder?
Hi Jenn, ETS is saying that the test questions are the same exact difficulty. Thanks for watching!
Please can you share the resources with us
Hi Hillary, I can't really share any resources, but I can tell you that they are available on certain sites online such as libgen
Someone please address me...
Bro is it good for us ??
Are we in loss ????
Shahid bro, it is probably good for us. Thank you for watching
@@sithijamanage Thank you very much sithija bhayya
will it be easier to score in the shorter gre?
This is a good question. I think it will stay the same difficulty. Maybe achieving a perfect score or something will be slightly easier Hemanti. Thank you for watching this video and some of the previous ones. Hopefully they are helping!
@@sithijamanage you are a great help
Are 1200 words enough for verbal prep?
Yes
That's a good amount, Hemanti 👍
Speak little louder bro, u look like Michael Jackson though 😅
