People study for that?

I guess it depends on how smart/stupid you are.

If you have to study A LOT, grad school probably isn't for you. Not being a dick, just being realistic.

Did you even read the original post?

I've been told that in lieu of related work experience (which I don't have), a high undergrad GPA (which I do have) and 75th percentile test scores should get me in. Therefore, I'm aiming for pretty specific numbers.

It all depends on what you're going for.

Some people are going for 700+ on both sections. That will require studying for just about anyone, especially for verbal since there is a lot of vocab related stuff. And on math, if you didn't take any math since high school and have 3-4 years of work experience, I imagine you'll need to brush up since you're 8 years removed from the types of questions that are asked.

For me the math was super easy to prepare for, but that's because I wasn't 8 years removed from solving those types of questions.

I realize I am using the old scoring system. I took the test 5 years ago back when it was 1-5 for writing and 200-800 for verbal and quant.
