Good Redemption

I just took the GRE on January for the 2nd time. I am also not a native speaker. I am a Fulbright candidate (a U.S. department scholarship) and the other candidates were very competitive, so we were forced to do good... Are you taking the paper or the computer version? First time I wrote in paper. They are waaaay too different! But basically: start studying ASAP! I studied for 6 weeks every day, around 6 to 8 hours. But I had friends who started 3 months ahead studying 3 hours/day because they worked during the day. Being a non-native speaker I recommend you to learn as many words as you can, you would proly only get a couple in the test and people think it's not a smart move but in my case I feel that it did make a difference! Your brain is more receptive to the meaning of other words. Do as much practice as you can. But focus in the ETS Official Guide book. I did check the Barrons and the Kaplan and they are not that effective (in my opinion) and they are also quite expensive in my country, so at the end I only studied using that one and got a decent score. DO practice using a timer! This is basic. For instance in math you will get 30 exercises to work in 30 minutes, meaning you have 1 min per question and in verbal you will get 38 questions / 30 min (1.3 quest/min) and data indicate that most test takers get higher scores if they FINISH the test. So your main objective should be finishing the whole thing! They also mention that there is a chance that guessing at the end of the test can lower your score. So, the best strategy is to pace yourself. I insist, do practice using a timer!!! If you are taking the paper version, don't forget to bring a watch on the test date, it did help me to keep track of time. The essays I left them for last.. I did try doing few examples, but I just scored a 3.5 so I'm probably not good recommending any tip. Good luck!
