The GRE is a graduate school entrance exam that influences admissions decisions. Aspiring graduate students who tend to put off studying for tests should not attempt to cram for the Graduate Record Examinations, or GRE, because achieving an impressive score on this graduate school entrance exam is difficult without significant preparation, experts warn.
The GRE General Test is a standardized test created and administered by the Educational Testing Service, commonly known as ETS, that is designed to measure overall academic readiness for graduate school. Some grad programs require that applicants take not only the GRE General Test, but also a GRE Subject Test that assesses technical knowledge related to a specific discipline like physics, psychology or mathematics.
There are six GRE subject tests, each designed for students who have majored in or extensively studied the exam subject.
Here’s how you can prepare for the GRE Test—
Take a practice test. Find out where you are compared to where you need to be. Taking a practice GRE exam early on can also help you diagnose problem areas, figure out score goals, and set priorities.
Get your foundations in place. Familiarize yourself with the test, its format, its question types, and its scoring.
Set up your schedule. While we have everything you need to prep for the GRE in one month, you’re the one who needs to decide when and how this fits in with your other priorities.
Practice daily. This includes work on both the GRE Quantitative section and the GRE Verbal section, GRE vocabulary study, and lessons on GRE-specific strategies.
Test yourself. Complete daily practice questions on the concepts and strategies you’ve just learned.
Prepare for the full exam. This includes the AWA (writing section)! How to do it? Weekend essay writing practice and mock GRE practice tests, simulating real test conditions.
Mentally and physically prepare. Get enough sleep, perform confidence-boosting exercises, and model healthy eating the days before the test
