   Hello Team Magoosh, I just purchased the official ETS GRE study book and was curious if all of the explanations and videos for it that you all made are still available? There was a link at the top my dashboard a few weeks ago, but I haven’t seen it since. Once again, thanks for everything you guys do and continue to do.

   Thank you so much for posting great information for the GRE!
   I need to score for the Revised GRE at least 153 Verbal; 144 Quantitative; with the written section remaining at 3.5
   I have been out of school for quite a while so I am very nervous about taking the GRE. I am hoping to study for and take it during the summer. Do you recommend self study over a prep class? If you had to pick a prep class which would you do you think offers the best approach?

   Thank you for your time,
   Lea

     Hi Lea,

     I would recommend trying out self-study for awhile. If you feel you are making progress (something you can do by taking a mock test every couple of weeks), then I would recommend sticking to that path. (The Magoosh product — gre.magoosh.com—provides an excellent way to make sure you are learning all the core concepts—we also provide hundreds of practice questions).

     If you need more prep and somebody to help you with your weaknesses, I would recommend an experienced tutor over a prep class. I haven’t heard many good things about the prep class (the all-size fits all approach). If you still decide to take the class, I’d recommend MGRE over Kaplan or The Princeton Review. MGRE has far more rigorous standards for employing tutors than do the other two).

     Hope that helps, and good luck .

   Hi Chris,

   I found magoosh gre a great help and it helped me to increase my gre score by 12 points

   from the previous one. My new gre score is 149(verbal) and 155(quant) for a total of 304.

   What are the possibilities of getting admission to M.S. in USA in electrical and computer engineering.

     Hi Mohar,

     Congrats on that great score increase! That’s a difficult question to answer. Your best bet is to use the data from the U.S. News and World Report article. My gut is telling me that for Comp. Sci. you may need a slightly more competitive score. Your verbal, though lower overall, should be fine.

     Following this link, you can look at the old score range of people who were accepted to a university, and then use the concordance table (old score vs. new score) to get a rough sense of where you rank. Let me know if you have any questions!
