Default Old books? Study groups?

Goodlooking out starrats, I guess I was being unrealistic thinking that there would be English prep courses.
Does anyone have any old prep books they don't need? How did people study for this while living abroad.I cut back my work hours to focus on it and have just gotten some Kaplan's books in the mail but still seeking any new strategies.
Ohhh Math... ひさしぶりだね

hi, Jaro

how's your study going???

i hate math (and i had to get TOEFL socre too). so i gave up thinking to go to grad school a few years ago and i've changed my career plan. (but who knows i might change the plan again and start studying....)

anyway, good luck on your exams. (are you sitting JLPT too?)

Default GRE words on cell phone

I have always found that all the GRE/GMAT word lists and test material provide too much information. I was looking for a small application and actually found this one, which is a very small but powerful list. It works on cell phone so comes in handy during wait times.

i took the gre last october. i, being not as smart as you, failed to look for courses and just bought myself a big fat prep book and all the recommended vocab up books. worked for me alright. beware, you can't use a calculator--for some reason i thought you could.....good luck.

I offer both condolences, and encouragement. You'll be so deep in test mode, you can ace them both. Then you can sleep for a month.
Study hard.
Good Luck.
