Questions about GRE from a beginner
Posted: Wed Sep 29, 2010 1:35 pm
Hi, I'm gonna take the exam this November. And I literally just start studying for it. I'm a non-native, did my undergrad at an english uni, but I admit my english is still bad. I plan to spend at least 10hrs/day to study GRE. Do you guys think it's enough to get a decent score, say, more than 80% in the subject test?
Also, I'm gonna apply to do a phd in maths in the us, I'm aiming for no 15 to 40 or so in this list:

My undergrad score was average, pretty bad actually, but I'm quite sure I can get quite good references from 2 very well-known professors from my uni, that's why I go for no 15 to 40.
How much (general test & subject test) do you think I have to achieve to hope for these places? Also, does the general test score matter much to them?
I just start researching these places and I don't really have an idea about their requirements in general at the moment.
Please help. Thanks a lot.
