hey all,

would like to know if there is anybody here who has taken this GRE test?

my gf who just graduated from UM's Biohealth Science with a CGPA of 4 is stressed out cos she's now worried as she's not sure on what to do next.

But at the same time what she wanted to do is to apply for Masters course for NUS in SG but she can't as for international candidate, they have to take this GRE Test first before applying. The next intake is in January 2007 but have to submit before 1st June 2006.

Also i heard from her that this GRE Test got maths? She's also worried cos 3 years didn't do maths already

So on her behalf, i would like to know more about this GRE Test like price, it's level of difficulties and also if possible do advice me on what to tell her what to do next as she's finding it difficult to find a job or something to do after she graduated.

Thanks a bunch!

I heard only top 10% of the candidates will get the certificate. My fren got it oredi b4 he applied for the Masters in US. I think it's really not easy to pass the test. U really have to prepare well for that

hi everyone...i'm new here. i registered just to answer this question.

about the NUS and GRE thing...yeah...it is a very high requirement. NUS wants 90 percentile and i tell u, IT IS NOT EASY. i took GRE on 4th May and the results just came out. i was just slightly above average for the quantitative and writing...but the verbal sucks.
i did research around from other ppl who had taken the test and according to a fren, he told me u need around 6 months but if u do it intensively, it's going to be 3 months.
for me, i only manage to schedule to take the test 5 days after my finals. i was aiming to apply overseas, but i didnt have the time to do make it to the preparation. in the end, i only get what i deserve.
so if anyone is taking GRE, pls, pls, pls, prepare for the miserable verbal session and make sure u have stamina to stay alert for a long time.
after the written test, i can feel my energy level went down to almost nonexistent, and i just randomly clicked the answers just to get over it fast. if u should know, my verbal was only 15%.
a word of advice, those preparatory tests/books arent enough if u dont have enough practice. so read up higher level articles and books and think more.
sorry for making this a lengthy post.
later.

hey all..

Thanks a lot for your generous words of advices. Does GRE have any limit in its validity? Eg, IELTS os only valid for two years. Wasted my RM400 to sit for it and got a satisfactory result but in the end, I didnt use it for anything...

So where did you took your test? Can give the address?
I checked online, and there are only 2 centers in malaysia-both in KL. There are lots of GRE types, I am not sure which one to take. I too will need to do this soon, and I am not sure which type of test to apply.

can you explain more on the verbal section. I don't think verbal is a problem, as I'm slightly worried about the writing.

Can state your MUET score and GRE score-just to get an idea on how tough it is.

Yes, I found from that Thomson website stating 2 places. The training materials are free right? From the same site?
I have taken something quite similar to GRE in US in middle school, and as far as I can say you cannot skip questions all objectives, and you have a huge time handicap. Is it the same/similar as this GRE test
