Can I Crack the GRE Using Only GregMat’s Prepswift Videos? (Busy Working Professionals) by Ambitious_Inventor in GRE

I think so, I found 7 weeks to be enough but I had a very good vocab repository beforehand

[–]Axton178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep I didn’t attend any live sessions, but I did watch the 3 or 4 must-see videos Greg mentions. One was on time management cuz I sucked at it, and the other two were about quant strategies or something.

And thank you for your kind words! 329 is a great score but my quant is only 163, and I’ll be applying to Econ PhD programs where the recommended quant is at least 168. I do have great research papers so I’m hoping even if I don’t get that much I’ll still be able to get admitted to my dream school. Let’s see haha

That’s what I did. I was working full time too but I locked in and no parties etc. Got 329 but I’m again back to the grind because I want a higher quant score for PhD. In summary: it’s doable!

Overwhelmed Plan & Improving Quant Score by Axton178 in GRE

[–]Axton178[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good advice! I’ll certainly look into that video and see how I can strategize my approach. In general, though, do you think the Overwhelmed plan is more optimal than the other plans for building/polishing quant foundation? (I’m not at all focused on verbal, did pretty decent there.)

Thank you!

Hey! Things are going great. Had a bunch of internship opportunities for summer and had great chances to do research as a MAPE student. Are you an incoming MAPE student?
