Hi I want to do Masters In Architecture so how much should I score in gre for good university

GRE for masters in architecture is necessary only of you want to study in US and for particular courses. That too, it weighs only 1015% of your application. Rest is taken by your portfolio(upto 50%), your statement of purpose & references, followed by GPA.



So relax! The GRE is not a big deal. Even so, since you asked, let me tell you. As there are Atleast 5 years for you to prepare, you can easily score a 340 as well. There is no separate subject test you need to take for architecture. Just the usual maths & English (quantitative & verbal)



Once you have graduated, and actually decide that you want to still pursue masters in architecture (I'm not sure you will still be in same mindset.. Architecture changes you) you may then start proper preparation for GRE(like coaching, etc). Until then, you will do well to devote your time to learning Architecture instead. Read lot of books. Architecture books! Start with letters to a young architect by Christopher charles benninger. Then go on to read on architects who inspire you. Follow Dezeen, follow Archdaily, be inspired!Don't be stuck in the rat race of engineering students! We are architects. We are different. Enjoy!



Tips that you can do everyday to be prepared for perfect score 5 years later are:



Read articles across various subjects everyday from papers like The New York times, The Wall street Journal, MIT technology review, the Economist. And write 2 lines about every big article you read in them.This will drastically inopportune your reading comprehension skill.



Learn one new word everyday & use it(for vocabulary)



Answer one technical question on quora once a week. (To improve your writing skills. Refrain answering questions on topics of dating etc as there is not much content writing you can develop there)



Keep solving puzzles and keep in touch with high school math. Solve few sums of high school math every week. That's more than enough.



Anything more than this is really not necessary because they will come under GRE prep that you should start only after you graduate.



Thanks,
