Experience with GRE
The first thing is don't panic. If you find out you are going too slow or get stuck on a question remain calm. Since the test is adaptive going wrong on a couple of questions can't pull down your score too much.Do as many adaptive tests as possible to help you manage time.
Experience with GREedge
GREedge definitely helped me boost my score. (By about 100-150 points in both the quants and verbal section) I think GREedge's personal mentoring approach is what distinguishes it from other coaching centers. You guys helped me find out where I was making mistakes and also told me how I could improve and this really helped me focus on areas that needed attention rather than waste time on practicing areas that I was already good at. The questions in the quants adaptive tests as well as the quants sessions are really good.The verbal word bank is also really good and the approach used in figuring out the correct analogy helped me in the real exam.

She was a very good student. She had already completed all the questions from a few books before she joined us. I had to send her a lot of extra material to work on and she also completed the all the online sessions in the GREedge program that she had joined. I assessed her capability right from when she started the program. I would say she began at the capability to score around 450 or 500 in verbal. Her dedication got her the high score of 660 that she rightly deserves.

She was a good student. She completed all her quant sessions in 2 months and after that she did thorough revision and practice. She is very systematic and regular in her preparation. She said that in GRE, she spent a little more time on first few questions, because of which, she was not able manage time at the end. She found her questions to be easy. She said, our online package was really useful. I greatly appreciate her promptness in responding to the SFA's suggestions. I wish her all the best.
