I am taking the GRE at Home - What should I look out for?

Question

Hi guys,

As most of you may know, I took the GMAT Online and scored a 740.  I posted my debrief  and while I had not prepped for the GMAT at all for the last couple years, it was a fun and thrilling experience.

I also shared my experience with GMATNinja on YouTube so go check that out.

Now, I want to see how the GRE at Home experience is different from the GMAT Online - so I am taking the GRE at home this Saturday (May 9). I will share my experiences on YouTube and here, but I wanted to ask you what I should look out for. I know the test is a LOT longer and I have never taken or studied for the GRE, so I am in for a lot of trouble and FUN!

Here is the video link that will go live on Monday (May 11). Stay Tuned!

Dear Sir,

I would ask you if possible to take the free software here (if possible, according to with your schedule) https://ereg.ets.org/ereg/public/testPr ... ion?_p=GRI

Then during the exam you should see or have a feeling if the test is harder or aligned with the real test in terms of difficulty. This could be precious feedback of comparison.

You have enough experience of having an immediate "taste" of both.

Have fun.

Regards

I second this idea, so that at least you get acquainted to the format and blah blah blah of the GRE.
Nice idea  carcass

How strict was the 10-minute break? I heard from someone that they had to wait for 10 additional minutes to restart the test after 10-minute break.

Thanks.

HI Souvik101990,

I see your test is tomorrow. I’m looking forward to seeing how things go.

Good luck!!

Yes, some people have had longer breaks due to proctor availability. Someone mentioned a 30+ min break in the early days of GRE at Home

Alright - So Thank you again for encouraging me to take more tests.

I got a 331 total score with a Q168 and a V163 breakdown.

I did a YouTube video (the same link above) but my internet was really choppy so I might re-do it next week.
