Gre test

Hi,

may someone could give me some information about the GRE test.

I´ve to pass the test for my MA application. The minimum requirement for the GRE is that I have to score at least in the 50th percentile in the Quantitative Reasoning section of the test.

How was your experience with the test? easy? difficult? how much time did you spent on learning?

Any recommendations on literature, movies, online pre-tests or similiar material?

Thank you,

If you get stuck on anything, move on and come back to it. It's a lot of questions in a small amount of time. I forget which book I used, but find a good textbook and it will help a lot with both sample questions and a how to guide. The best thing I learned going into it: "The main thing the GRE tests you on is how good you are at taking the GRE"
