Hi! I will suggest to you what works for me.
Do practice questions on weeknights, for an hour or two. Work on one type of test question a night, like sentence correction. Note your errors in a spreadsheet or on note cards, and track what types of mistakes you are making. Sometimes you might be rushing things and making silly mistakes, and other times it will be errors in calculation, or not knowing the formula, grammar rules, etc.
Every weekend, take a practice test. Review those answers carefully too, and compare to how you did on your practice questions from during the week. If you get them right in practice but wrong on the timed test, then you need to work on test-taking skills. If you get them wrong in both areas, keep working on fundamentals.
Some very good books to use are Cracking the GRE (for test-taking skills and excellent tests that have answer explanations), Verbal Workout for the GRE, Grammar Smart and Word Smart (great vocab list and tips). I have all four of those books plus Official Guide, and would recommend all of them. Of course take the Powerprep tests from www.gre.org too.
I hope this helps. |
