Advice from the Veterans
Posted: Sun Jul 18, 2010 2:10 am
Hey Everyone,
I've not been successful in finding an answer to my question on the forums. If someone has already answered this question, please point me in the right direction and forgive me for my awful blunder.
At this point, I'm studying for the fall 2010 PGRE and would like some feedback on when to "use" the four available practice exams. I already have a stockpile of practice questions, namely those from Ohio State's website and a handful of others posted/linked on this website, but I keep reading how imperative it is to know the four practice exams like the alphabet. At the same time, I've seen many people say that one should wait until the final few weeks before taking the PGRE to "use" the practice exams. My concern/confusion: to understand the practice exams well requires time; to take the practice exams a few weeks before the official exam gives little time. So, for all you wicked-awesome veterans out there who know what's up, might you be able to guide me on when to take the practice exams, in what order to take them, etc, as in "1986 exam at four weeks out, 1992 exam at three weeks out," and so forth?
Now that I'm thinking about it, could someone confirm whether the PGRE is on computer or paper? Perhaps I'm just incredibly dense, but I didn't find anywhere that ETS specified.
Any help is much appreciated,
dizie
