How difficult is the gre exam?
Of course it's difficult, but it's not as difficult as the post-90s exam 100. First of all, you should know that the score interval of GRE is 260-340, and the calculation part is divided into Chinese and mathematics, that is, the score interval of Chinese and mathematics is 130- 170. (The lowest score is not 0, so don't think that 320 is super difficult. American general science and engineering also need GRE3 10+. )

But is the requirement of 320 65,438+060 for Chinese and 65,438+060 for mathematics? No, because for China people, mathematics is very simple and Chinese is very difficult, so the relatively easy scores are 65,438+050-65,438+055 in Chinese and 65,438+070 in mathematics.

About grading:

GRE is an adaptive test, that is, if the questions in the first part are well done, the difficulty in the second part will be upgraded, and if they are not well done, the difficulty will be downgraded. So the score is calculated according to the number of correctly answered questions and the difficulty of the questions. No specific calculation formula has been published, but on average, it is similar to a question.

About preparing for the exam:

GRE is basically a word! ! ! GRE requires a large vocabulary, about 1 1000, and IELTS 6.5 is only about 7-8 thousand, so: First, you need to memorize about 3,000 GRE vocabulary; Second, your IELTS 6.5 is not particularly high, so you need to accumulate some IELTS TOEFL vocabulary (1000 or so), so as to ensure that the language is around 150. It takes about 1.5-2 months to memorize these words. Reciting words is the main way to prepare for the exam.

But your requirement is 320, so the language should be around 155. It is not enough to know the words, but also the logic of solving problems. GRE is a logic test, (not an English proficiency test! ! ! It's different from IELTS TOEFL. Knowing words is the foundation, but understanding the logic of the topic is the core of solving problems. If you want to get to 155, you need to ponder the logic behind it by doing the problem. Here you can choose to make your own summary of the problem, or sign up for class, or look at other people's summaries. It takes about 1-2 months to practice the questions here. Starting from the later stage of memorizing words, you can brush the questions while memorizing, and you can't drop the words, so you should continue to review.

As for mathematics, do more problems, basically 165+ is no problem, don't worry too much. However, just because you are good at math, you can't not do the problem. The ideas and questions of GRE mathematics are different from those of domestic mathematics.

Finally, it is important to set aside a week or two to practice the model test and get used to the rhythm of doing the questions, because the practice questions are generally practiced according to individual items, and the exams are interspersed with questions, so you need to get used to them through the model test.

There is also a writing, which is not included in the total score, and a small score is given separately. Write two articles, the first is to find logical loopholes to criticize other people's arguments, and the second is a topic composition, similar to IELTS composition. And your school doesn't seem to have a requirement to write scores. Just find some templates online and you can write them. As for the template, it can't be wrong, but it can't get high marks. Just behave yourself. But the exam is a computer exam. You should practice writing on the computer and practice your hand speed. Let's keep this for a week.

If you prepare for the exam all day, you can take the exam once every three to four months, and then review it once a month if you fail. Many people have to take the exam more than once, and there is still hope for getting 320 points in four or five months.
