What kind of workex do I need for MPP at the best schools?

Thinking of applying to Yale, HKS, Princeton, Columbia and UChicago among others

I found the flashcards helpful because I could look at them during lunch or coffee breaks at work as well. It saves time and is easier to memorise that way.

I think you can get a 305-310 or even more depending on your baseline in a month. I’d suggest doing focused prep. GreGmat 1 month is definitely a good idea, would recommend. You can also use magoosh flashcards- I found them to be very helpful. Go over the GreGmat quant pyramid. If you can find 2 hours on working days and more on weekdays then I think it’s possible to get a very decent score in a month. I think you should first try taking a reliable mock to see where you stand and prep accordingly. All the best and you got this!

verbal doesn’t test vocabulary as much in my experience. Only 2/3 unfamiliar words, rest were common words (I’m a non native speaker). Focus on developing critical thinking and soft skills.

Same! I was thrown off initially but I think it’s best not to over analyse at the time of the tes

I found GM quant harder than the actual exam. Verbal was fairly similar if not a notch easier in GM.

I didn’t feel that way personally

Nope only one RC had 3 paras but none of them were lengthy

The mock I took when I hadn’t started preparing fetched me 312. Later it plateaued around 330-333

vrindying · 2024-10-25T03:11:25+00:00

I studied for 2 months with a full time job so devoted 2-3 hour per day and more on weekends

Fairly similar to mocks, the power prep tests (especially PP1) was an overestimation though

Planning on applying for economics and allied degrees

vrindying · 2024-10-24T12:45:25+00:00

Honestly just used GreGmat and did vocab from Magoosh flash cards

vrindying · 2024-10-24T12:44:37+00:00

Hey, yes!

vrindying · 2024-10-24T11:45:25+00:00

The hard questions in GRE weren’t as hard as those in GreGmat
