Starting GRE preparation is the most difficul task during GRE preparation, don’t be delayed.

Week 1: Download Priceton –Cracking the GRE/ Barron’s 19 edition/ ETS. Understand basic content for GRE Exam (Vocabulary, Reading, Mathematics, Writing). Start learning vocabulary by Mnemonics, Root words. And other sources (Never memorize from single source, because it cannot help you. You need to apply vocabulary in Revised GRE, hence you should learn from eclectic sources)

Week 2: Make a clear idea on Quant section, look you cannot start verbal section untill you finish at least 1000 words. So, learn vocabulary & grab Math concepts. ETS math review ETS paze number: 207-302

Week 3: Each GRE verbal section has 20 Questions (10 relating vocabulary (still you need good reading habit), 10 RC) Although you learn a meager amount of vocabulary, apply your skill in verbal section. Practice from Princeton-1014 Drill 1-2

Week 4: Quant (Number Property)

Remember you will get question number 1-8 in each quant section by quantitative comparison including number properties. So, only knowing formula’s is not enough. You need to practice a lots of number problems.

Week 5: You already start forgetting vocabulary. Try another sources.

Start practicing SC, SE No matter how much vocabulry you learn, just start practice. Revised GRE is a exam. Of Reading (not exam of Vocab, or Math. In soe cases, math problems also need to judgement on reading)

Week 6: Remember, Reading is everything in Revised GRE, so work on it. Learn different rules how to attack long, short passage & CR. Find how you can save time as well as collect whole idea of the passage.

Week 7: For quant section, strengthen yourself by finishing Nova Bible, ETS math review, and try to complete Barron’s Math workbook as well. Practice from different website also help you.

Week 8: AWA is crucial for evaluating your profile by USA university, then never neglect AWA. Take a basic idea from ETS pool (you will find it in ETS website)

Week 9: Save your time during answering SC, SE. Signalling, pivot words, making long sentence to single clause will save your time. Do a favor to you, practice lot of SC, SE from books. Only vocabulary cannot ensure a good score in verbal section.

Week 10: Take at least 4 Full test (Creating real exam. Environment, non-stop 4.30hours.) before real one. It is surely a crime not to complete ETS, Manhattan 1-8 before entering real GRE exam. ! So, complete at least this two book

Week 11 & 12: Taking full test at room creating exam. Environment enable you to act correctly in REAL GRE

Emphasize on vocabulary at first 45 days, and then on Reading comprehension. This file guides you to complete your GRE preparation more prudently, and make sure that you are self motivated to take GRE.

Have a peace on yourself (something like INNER PEACE in KUMFU-PANDA) before going to examination room. Best of luck for your GRE exam. Once again, Revised GRE is not a exam of Vocabulary, but Reading comprehension. Complete at least Manhattan 1-8, ETS before going real exam.
