<p>Thanks for the replies. The thing is that I felt like I was very methodical on the first 10 questions. I went through and really understood what I was doing and was careful not to make stupid mistakes. Maybe I actually went too slow because I got a little rushed on the last 10 problems. I was hoping that my meticulousness on the first 10 questions would pay off but apparently it didn’t or atleast not as much as I hoped.</p>
<p>So if I take the test a second time (I am leaning that way at the moment so the GRE will not be “a worry” as you say, sephiroth), should I use different studying materials or methods? Are there any particular books or methods you found particularly helpful for quantitative (or verbal, for that matter)? I mainly did a lot of practice tests (GRE Powerprep and Princeton Review mainly) to prepare for the math. I also worked out quite a lot of problems in Barrons and Princeton Review books and read up on strategies with the PR book. </p>
<p>I’m thinking for a second attempt some fresh material might be in order. I also can’t take the test again until February atleast and may opt to wait till spring break or summer break due to a very demanding work I’m expecting this semester. This means I’ve got some time…</p>
