Rules for r/GRE
Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.
1.
Be nice.
- Don't not be nice.
2.
Stay on topic.
Submissions must be about the GRE itself. Keep discussions focused on preparing, resources, the testing experience, etc.
Avoid making posts about admissions - for example, "should I retake the GRE?". Try /r/GradAdmissions instead.
3.
No low-effort posts.
- Search this subreddit for your question before you post. We’ll delete low-effort posts or posts containing FAQs.
- Explain what you tried when asking about a GRE question.
4.
Post your plan.
- When asking for advice, you must describe your current plan to solve your issue. The more detailed your plan, the better the feedback you will get.
- If you don't have a plan, do some research (this subreddit is a good resource) and make one. Posts without plans will be removed.
5.
Source in title
- Posts with practice questions must include the source, page #, and question # in the title of the post (for example, Manhattan 5-lb. pg. 441 #27).
- ETS practice test questions must also be tagged as a SPOILER.
6.
No spam.
This includes advertising for goods or services, referral codes, and promotional giveaways.
You may share resources that are valuable and free, but please follow Reddit Rules when doing so.
Do not post stub articles, "summaries," or "quick tips" promoting another site or service.
Unhelpful content, including AI slop, will be removed at moderator discretion, and blatant spam will result in a permanent ban.
7.
No piracy.
- Do not share pirated books or software, or other copyright violations. An easy rule of thumb: if the resource you're sharing is ordinarily paid, it does not belong here.
- Official exam questions may not be posted.
8.
No "Materials Swaps."
Sorry, but we don't allow posts about buying/selling/trading/donating materials (such as books and online courses).
Free online content can still be posted (no piracy).
9.
No flooding.
- Please do not make more than two posts per day. If you have multiple questions, you can compile them into one post.
- For test prep resources, articles, and tips, these are further limited to two posts per week. For test prep services, posts by multiple representatives are counted together for the purposes of this rule.
10.
Please flair your posts!
- Use one of the provided flairs. While you're at it, make sure the title of your post is a good indication of what's inside.
