GRE - 329 Q-170, V-159Testing Experience :snoo::snoo_sad::snoo_biblethump:

Today I got my temp GRE scores and I got a 329, with 170 in Quantitative and 159 in Verbal. I believe this score will be sufficient for the colleges I want to apply to. I just want to express my appreciation for Gregmat, whose straightforward approach to the test made it easy for me to achieve this. Thank you, Greg!

URGENT- No time slot availableGeneral Question :snoo_thoughtful:

I am trying to book an at home GRE. But I am unable to select any time zone. Basically it shows multiple days where seats are available but when I select any date they show no time slots available. I called the official website and they told me to wait for 7-10 business days and send them an email.

Just wanted to know if anyone faced the same issue before? I am based in Singapore.

This question asked for the remedy of the given problem:

For the answer choice A: the phrase is " an article written by a biologist"-- can they infer a biologist by what kind of senses?
I believe that this line stance from the lines 11-14 is " Too often, the job.........but naive lay authors or reporters". Thus, for the recovering problem, this person will be a biologist because of the given in the very first line of the passage.
For the answer choice B: misled by widespread that's why close
For the answer choice C: "New" is the errata for the answer choice, that's my point.
By the way, my reservation is about mostly on the answer choice "A" that's why they point to a biologist, can they able to point another researcher or author?

Thank you for giving me your big-ticket time. Appreciable!!!
