    Hey friend , its a wise decision u have taken .. first thing to do is to book a slot for gre with a gap of at least 1month . start preparing for GRE (think that its ur final opportunity and u have to get through it)

    for quant.. 1) GRE official guide (pls read and study it thoroughly(each word)..its nothing but a bible .. and solve as many as problems u can

    for quant i would suggest u
    1) manhatten strategy guides (all sections separate)--work the crap out off it
    2)1024 questions by princeton ---you would get around 65 odd drills with 15 question each in each drill
    3)grubbers
    4)u can refer online materials, if u have time left

    for verbal;;

    1) again GRE official guide( each and every word in this book has importance)
    2) without words ( nothing is possible in verbal section) so buckle up start learning new gre words .. around 50-60 new .. with revision of old ones
    3)my suggestion ,spend more time on RC's ,because these are live savers ..around 10-15 passages(review all wrong ans)


    and finally its more imp to take full length practice test online regularly say, every 2nd or 3rd day ..again review all wrong answers ..
    1) if u adhere to these all points ,i guess u ll score better ....

    Dude , Penn State is considered as one of the top notch universities of USA ,and also world ...they expect a score of >325 in GRE and >100 in toefl ..it comes under top 20 unis I guess..

    My recommendation for verbal would be ..www.majortests.com ... try all 15 pdfs ..and work a lot of questions .. when u review ur answers ,try and learn the words u encounter ... best of luck ..
