How hard is it to get a 140 in the verbal and quantitive sect of the GRE?

I take the GRE on the 29th, have studied minimal but I will use this upcoming week to focus. I only need these scores to get into the masters program I want with a 3.47 undergrad.

What was your major?

140? You likely don't even need to study.

Have used any GRE study text? I found it helpful.

Not hard at all. I studied for one hr a day for a week (during my lunch break) and made a151 on the verbal and 141 on the math. I did nothing for the essay and made a 4.5 on it
Not a good score imo but I took it after coming home from a deployment so I wasn't really in a school state of mind.

Easy as frick. The GRE is a joke.

I wouldn't say easy especially when I took it.
Now if i take it again and decide to study 2-3 hrs a month for 2 months I'm sure I'd score a 300 minimum
Now I thought the content was simple and straight forward but my cognitive ability wasn't right when I took it.

Good to know, I'm kind of in the same situation, coming off of deployment and all.

If you only have time to crash study.
Then look over all the vocab words and remember pemdas and math formulas and how to derive them

Honestly man if you can score a 150 in both that's the 50th percentile usually. Look over algebra and trig
Personally I think the gre is useless except for the essay.

And brush up on some trig basics, you'll be good to go.

That's what I meant by math formulas lol
But yeah algebra and trig no need for calculus or something like that

Even the average Haitian score was higher than 140, Libya & Iraq were the only two countries that didn't average 140 on the 2013-14 test.
Average white American male score is over 155

You're in trouble my friend.
Just kidding. Its easy if you're aiming for such a low score. I didn't study much but aced it.

Can't believe you signed up just to call me out

155? Did they change the scale or something? When I took it I think the max score for each section was 800.
