If you know anything about procrastinators, this is possible and it's also the why I'm here. I've have ten days but this helps be understand that it's still possible thanks!
It was fine, I guess. I think what really matters in this test is your ability to concentrate for four hours. If you are a naturally anxious person, it can be tough but in that case prepare harder. It's not tough per se, it's management of time and pressure. Good luck!
Hey, bro. I took my GRE today and scored 312 (which should get me into all my target colleges). Planned my prep for 3 weeks purely based on the resources that you have mentioned. Thank you soo much for your insights, I definitely owe a part of this to you :)
how did you prepare and which videos did you watch and what order, testedtutor has a playlist for 5 weeks, do we refer to all or are there main videos we can go through?
This video is a lifesaver! I had only about two days to prepare (due to a full-time job and some last-minute decisions lol), and doing the mock tests from ETS, watching videos dissecting different problems (the RUclips channels you recommended), and looking at the mnemonics dictionary really works! Thank you so much :D
its a great ....thanks for recommending tested tutor and gregmat as i have exam this month and my score were not improving ...hope u r having great time 👊
I prepared for two weeks following Greg Mat and tested tutor's content, and mostly like how you.. Went 290(1st ets mock) - 311 official GRE.. Although I am still sceptical about what range ranked unis are achievable.. (Like top 50 unis) Also my TOEFL is 105, gpa 8.4 and few research interns
I wonder how can someone finish Manhattan in just 5 days unless you are just Einstein. Anyway this motivated me my score is near to you hope I get the same in actually test I am trying what are the secrets to ace in quant because there u can dominate
I have one month left. But this helps a lot. Looking forward to get around 330+. Will share the outcome on this for sure. Till then keep looking at this thread for any update. Update: So I gave my GRE and I am not satisfied with my performance. Planning to retake the test.
Hey! let me know if there are any other resources which were really helpful to you! Edit : Glad that this video was helpful for many of you. I just wanted to share that when I got 289 with my first attempt (without preparation), I had severely underestimated the time it would take to solve problems and I was left with many unsolved problems. Had I paid more attention to the time, I would have scored in the range of 300 (without preparation). Although preparing for GRE did help me, being mindful of time was a huge contributor too. Also, for anyone interested to know, I am currently pursuing MEM at Northwestern University. For people looking for flashcards that I used, it was a borrowed collection from my friend. However, I have left 2 links in the description if you want to purchase one.

Hey Thank you so much. Your video is so motivating. Can you please explain how you used tested tutor. Like I mean which playlist or videos you referred to.
I used the 5lb book and started solving questions. Whenever I couldn't figure out a solution/concept, I'd look for the corresponding video in TestedTutor.
Glad you liked it Mohammad Bashir :) ...If you would like to know more about me or my thoughts, you can check out "Curiosphere" which is a podcast I co-host with my friend. We mainly discuss about Space, philosophy, science, etc.
@@mohammadbashir9995 Sure, I basically applied to 11 universities for MEM program as I thought I had less chances of getting in the last round.

Of the 9 admits, I chose Northwestern University (as its one of top 9 universities in MEM-PC).
Hey @intersecting parallels, I have exactly 6 days left thanks to me procrastinating for ages. The 5lb.has quite a lot of chapters to be solved in 5 days' time. Can you let me know how you'd go about it if you were to go back in time and give the test again? i.e what chapters will you omit, what are the important topics etc.
I suggest solving around 5 midtier(not easy or not too hard) questions from each chapter. Identify which topic/chapter you're lagging behind and concentrate on only those. If you improve in them, venture out to other chapters.
I was applying for the Fall 21 intake and I didn't have the luxury to write it again or take more time in preparing as the deadlines for the final round was approaching. Hence the frantic timeline.
@@intersectingparallels3481 well, getting a 314 on gre that too with only memorizing 300 words is exceptional..... this means you have great reading skills!!
I am too stressed to give my second attempt on gre in 10 days to jump from 305 to atleast 315 and found your video.... Your video really motivated me. 👍👍
Glad it helped :) ...10 days is more than sufficient to get at least 10 point jump. I would advice you to ... a) take timed tests and b) being in the zone of solving problems (if you slack off for few days without exercising your brain, it will take more time to get your brain up to speed.)...Good luck for your exam!
Apparently the things that help most people are refuting the argument (even though you agree with it) by giving good examples AND making strong and declarative statements...So instead of saying "I don't think it should be ...", use "It is unacceptable for it to be ..." Feel free to refer to this guide for more detailed info: magoosh.com/gre/gre-analytical-writing-essay/
To address the title, I really don't think it's possible to get a score improvement of almost 15 in 5 days. If you have got less than 300 it's a sign that your fundamentals are weak and that you would need a lot more time understanding your concepts and then actually applying that under GRE conditions. I agree with what resources you have posted, I think those are great, but in 5 days....it's a stretch to say. Don't mean to demotivate anyone here, but you would need to start your preparation at least 1-2 months prior to GRE if you want to get a reasonable score.
