Hey Manish,

This is a very big question, with no simple answer. It depends how much help you need. The further you are from your goal score, the more outside help you should seek out. Take a practice test (you can get a free one here on our website) and see where you are. If you're far off where you need to be, consider taking a class. If you're close, you can do it on your own with a good set of books!

Hi

First of all thanks for the reply.

I have heard from collegues that they dont teach anything new, its just from the practise we have to learn. First thing is Vocablury part - we have learn, second Qaunt - that also requires some practise. Anything left here ? And now the thing left is practise papers, suggest me for that. Here how much practise papers i can give ?

If i want to go for more practise papers, where do i get them ?

Hey Manish,

I'm starting not to understand you. There are plenty of books and resources to learn about the basic parts of the GRE. You can look those up yourself. And yes, anything can be self-taught given enough dedication and application, but many people prefer to have a class in order to have someone give them a specific study schedule and pressure them to work. That's entirely up to you!

Hey Singh,

No one will be able to answer this question for you, though there is already a ton of preexisting stuff on this, so no need for a new post. You know the difference from school--how do you learn better? On your own with books and your own pacing? Or with someone telling you what to do and setting schedules? Both can work, it just depends on the person!
