The GRE and GMAT are two of most used graduate exams for those seeking to study a Masters Degree or Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degree. The Graduate Record Exam and Graduate Management Admissions Test have been taken for over 50 years and are taken by approximately 600,000 and 300,000 people worldwide annually, respectively. These exams are typically taken between the ages of 18-40, by those who have completed, or are about to complete, their Bachelors Degree.

Hey man just took the GRE this morning and got a 160 in Q and 158 in V. I don't even know how these scores fare for programs I am looking at, but I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work. You helped me enjoy math for once haha. Cheers dude, stay dope!
Thanks so much Shayar and well done!
Thanks for all your videos scored 317 (Q 165, V 152). Your vocabulary videos helped me a lot
A tough but necessary exercise to prepare for the GRE. Thank you once more for your kind assistance herein.
Hi Philip, such an affable wag you are! You're helping me a lot with with my prep, already learnt 240 words. thank you so much! I feel like I owe you.
Happy to help!
Hey philip , you helped a lot in preperation , i am prrpearing for cat( an indian enterance exam) and want to say please make a video on how to solve difficult to very diff rc in a limited time. Thare are a lot harder rc in CAT then this one.
I had fun doing this with you ^^ Please do more.
I suppose the evidence for the very last question of the pure type exercise is: "it too deviates significantly from Weber's pure-type of capitalism". With the word "digress" and a line of reasoning right after "the present-day United States" that I just mentioned, the answer is definitely D.
Besides, answer A nearly repeated the text. GRE never gives out answers that easily and based on your most recent video, they try to hide it. Such an answer is easy to notice as well, being at the very beginning of a new paragraph, which tricks people into choosing it. Right after it we have: "Moreover, no single instance..." which signals a new flow of idea related to answer D.
Still, I think the questions are a little easy, or is it because I read them too slow and take a lot of time to think about them? I don't know but I need harder questions Philip.
I may change my mind and study in the UK because of a lovely chap like you.
Hey Phillip Please refer to Indian Exam CAT RCs, they are really nice and very much tricky as well..

thank @cardi be
Hi Philip, I have been watching your videos since the day I started preparing for GRE . Can you make a video on a quick final revision of all the topics before the exam? Also, tomorrow is my exam. Thanks for all your help!!!
how did it go ?
Well I hope ?
@@cardiyansane1414 how much did you score?
Which part of verbal need to attempt first so that exam will be completed on time any strategy?
Could you solve a GRE passage which has complex jargon of English
Wow, these were rather difficult! I’m interested in your opinion on using more of a strategical approach for a case such as que.2/3, second passage i.e., eliminating answers with “extreme” words that are exclusive or categorical like: never, always, minimum, maximum, all, every; and opting for neutral ones like maybe, possibly, could, some.…unless its otherwise explicitly stated in the passage? That would have made answering that question a lot easier i think ? Especially if you can avoid reading and re-reading a passage multiple times due to time. it worked for me in this instance . As always, with utmost gratitude.
Hey Cardi. I think that could be a good backup method to eliminate one or two wrong answers, though ideally we would go for understanding each situation because sometimes all/always can be right, sometimes some/may can be right. Agreed, it was a tough passage.
@@TheTestedTutor Yes of course, there is no substitute for comprehending all the answer choices and the passage for that matter . And sorry , i did mean as a back up in such a case when its taking too much of your time . An intelligent guess I suppose
and Thankyou.
Man the 2nd passage was so much more difficult, I only got the first one right, the last question definitely got me worked up, for me felt like a toss up between and A and D xD
Great video!
Hi Can you help me in answering this OG question- A particular bacterium that has never encountered a particular virus will usually succumb to it, a _______ that may, surprisingly, be beneficial to the colony in which the bacterium lives.
A) susceptibility
B) theory
C) characteristic
D) juxtaposition
E) collision
F) hypothesis
I would choose A) Susceptibility. Perhaps @The Tested Tutor could help us out
I would choose ( C) characteristic . The blank is describing the tendency that one can predict with 99.9% accuracy that this bacteria will die when it comes in contact with the virus . So it’s not a theory nor a hypothesis, which would imply that it’s not quite a fact and is open for experimentation and possibly a different outcome ( although it’s very tempting to pick these two because they are synonyms and because of the word- usually, but usually in this case means most of the time ) . The other words in the choices ( collision and juxtaposition) would be if you made the mistake of placing your primary focus on the second half of the sentence where they seem to be comparing a benefit and a detriment. So A and C remain , and even though they are not exact synonyms, they are what I call “ contextual synonyms” . So never just go for direct synonyms like is often preached out there , but read and COMPREHEND the sentence, get the MAIN IDEA like you would with RC, fill in blank with your own words, then look at choices for synonyms that fit for the words you picked . Practice many questions like these so you can train your brain to see these “contextual synonyms” which I admit does not come naturally. I sure hope this helps ! Sorry I’m a recovering rambler😅
When they give 6 answer choices, it usually asks you to select the 2 best options. In that case, I think both A and C are the correct pair of answers.
do I need a good knowledge of grammar for solving the verbal part of gre
Not particularly
