[@rohithpamidighantam2423]

I have my GRE test on Tuesday, and I have been panicking about writing and verbal sections. Your videos have helped tremendously! Thank you for sharing.

[@TheTestedTutor]

Thanks Rohith!

[@gauravuttarkar9682]

@Rohith Pamidighantam Whats your score?

[@rohithpamidighantam2423]

@@gauravuttarkar9682 I got 320...I realized where I had my pitfalls because I rushed through the questions when the exam started.

[@Tilmaamaha_Caafimaadka]

Hi Philip. ... how can I develop these two ideas? I have two month before I sit for the gre exam. I have an average of 4 hours/day of study time. I think my typing speed is about 40 w/min and my accuracy is not good. What do you suggest I do over these two months to get a decent verbal and awa score? I have been watching your video with passion and I thank you for the gains I'm making from these videos.

[@dhwaneeldoshi4805]

I got 5.5 in AWA and 275 overall

[@aden8603]

Hey man. Just got done with my GRE test. Your AWA tips were so beneficial. My argument essay went so smoothly following your instructions. And your quant videos were very helpful too. Thanks for making these videos and for giving us such amazing GRE content. Cheers!

[@trexx3298]

Your words are some how Hypnotizing! I will rewatch this an hour before the exam next monday.

sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot my password. I would love any assistance you can give me!

[@mahdihasan9984]

Absolutely, I can't agree with you more on how important it is to proofread.

[@aceallen2505]

1. Clear Idea (Eloquence) 2. Clean writing (appropriate 5min for proof-read)

[@neelshah8908]

Really helpful and lucid explanation! You have great teaching skills

[@naveenreddyindluru7982]

Phenomenal explanation philip.. keep posting like this

This video was incredible. Thank you!

[@phucnguyen0407]

Hey Philip, another great video as always. Thanks!

[@TheTestedTutor]

Thanks again!

[@Yourgirljess]

Such a great video, thank you! Question- what are key elements of a great thesis statement?

[@TheTestedTutor]

Definitely one with no typos, spelling or grammatical mistakes, so leave 5 mins to proofread at the end. Don't forget, it will be marked by software, humans only glance for a couple mins!

[@Yuliana-ox9vx]

Thank you! This is really helpful, especially the clear idea one. My ideas are usually very vague in my mind when writing.😂

[@meenuravi9853]

Thank you so much! Do you have suggestions for what topics to write about or which books to read to answers prompts?

[@TheTestedTutor]

My pleasure!

[@MyFavorite226]

Your Next Video topic.. 😐 GRE: Material for preparation, practice and their proper usage would be of great help.

[@TheTestedTutor]

Great idea Sheikh. I am working on this but need to finish reviewing Barrons

[@artwithrekha9615]

very informative. Thank you

[@anudeepsanpala5357]

Hey make a vedio on commonly used vocab words in every issue and argument

[@XiJustinZhang]

Proofreading is a great piece of advice. However, I often find myself with insufficient time to express my ideas. Even if I devote all the 30 minutes to writing the GRE issue, I can only write about 500 words. Do you think word count matters in GRE issue? Or do you have any advice on how to improve the speed of writing?

[@TheTestedTutor]

Word maximisation is good, but 500 words should be fine. Practice is one answer. Time yourself and try to push to 600 quality words.

hello tested tutor can you please tell how long an essay should be thanks in advance!

[@adityapawar4937]

Hey Philip. Great video from an erudite of the GRE:).The way you stressed on the smallest of things in the essay was just amazing. Just a question. What if I encounter an issue or an argument in the GRE about which I don't have any examples to elaborate on?

[@TheTestedTutor]

Hey Aditya, they say you can make up examples, so you could use your imagination!

How to get my written work checked and find out errors which I could not recognize?????

Good job

[@TheTestedTutor]

Thanks Mizanur

[@ranjitapiratla7813]

Is it important to use complicated words? or just simple English will do?

[@TheTestedTutor]

Simple English is fine, plus maybe one advanced word.

[@pranesvenkatesh9911]

In essay,we need to use complicated words or we can use normal words we are using in daily life?

[@TheTestedTutor]

Simple English is fine, plus maybe one advanced word.

[@bluelionpuza206]

If I write my AWA section in capital letters, will it deduce my score?

[@TheTestedTutor]

PROBABLY

[@macrofooddiary]

the usage of "where" is not always related to physical places. "Andy excels in subjects where he has much passion."

[@johnguillen68]

If the AWA on the GRE is not incorporated into the score why is it important?

[@meertadsarkar7759]

A minimum threshold score of AWA is required for applying to certain courses

[@narayankhanal9662]

Awesome!

[@dsunigarro]

Is there a formula for creating time? Just 5-6 minutes

[@TheTestedTutor]

Just stop writing earlier!

[@bidjiku]

In Indonesian schools we get better grades if we were writing long nonsense gibberish instead of shorter, clear, and focused essay. (Except in top tier Uni's)

[@opeyemirofiat3834]

Is 147/143 in the gre a good score?

[@TheTestedTutor]

Depends what you are applying for, for most schools maybe need a bit more

Hi.. how many words should the essay contain for a score of 5 or 6?

[@TheTestedTutor]

Hard to estimate, but a good 5 paragraphs should be fine!
