1) verbal -->mug up the unknown words (there are about 5000 in total (?)). there is no other way out. just chew those freakin words and eat them and burp loudly :P --->700/800 (anything above this is a sweet bonus!) 2) quantitative-->pretty easy. if you were good in mathematics in highschool, it's a piece of cake. but, respect! make sure you know the format to save time. 800/800---> you've got to get a perfect score in this, if you're an engineering student. 3) analytical---> practice analytical writing with reasonings. try to think analytically and give logical reasonings for a given scenario. examples are given in the test. 6.0/6.0--> trust me it's not that difficult to get a perfect score in this. Barron's GRE is the best. Kaplan and others are also there. Don't panic, it's not as difficult as it seems. Go ahead and crack it! good luck! LooTe
