How much time did you spend in preparing for the test? How many new words did you learn each day?

no u can't. Your previous GRE is quite impressive. yes, very competitive, only 40 seats. sounds like you're a competitor to me. hopefully we will end up as classmates :-) sample GRE result of those admitted: over 1500 for verbal and quant section. there are phds, MBAs, scholars, 1st class hons...

I'm aiming for 1500 and above. It seems that the current batch have very good GRE results. An average or low result would lower your chances due to the highly competitive admission.

No, I'm only trying to clarify what I know :)

Yes, the Director said in the FAQ session that MFE is for back office, their MAF is for middle office.
