Aurodeep Ghosh - "I took a mock test on GREedge yesterday and today my exam was just like another mock test" I had a good experience taking the revised GRE on August 1st. It was easier than expected, however RC passages were long and confusing. Online calculator is easy to use and the ability to skip questions and answer later is very helpful.

Praveen Ravi RC passages were long and time taking; TC and SE questions had tricky sentences. Knowledge of sentence structure is tested and not words

Keerthi D Quant was similar to old pattern but there were some new questions in coordinate geometry that were difficult. I barely managed to complete the verbal section in time. Online calculator was very helpful

Binesh Nair - Powerprep tests and GREedge tests were very similar" Online calculator is hardly needed as you can do most of the calculations mentally, however it was good to have the calculator. Learning all 3500 words or even most of them is important otherwise answering TC and SE questions is very difficult. Practicing online helped me a lot and I found GREedge tests to be the same as Powerprep tests

Abbas I found verbal section to be difficult, especially triple blank TC questions with multiple answers and RC passages. I got the sections alternatively i.e. AWA first, followed by quant-1, verbal-1, quant-2 and then verbal-2. In quant, I found Modulus and Functions based questions to be difficult. Did not expect questions from normal distribution and standard deviation
