JFK_Aero Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Hi: I was hoping to get people's input as to how much time I should invest into studying for the GRE before I take it. Some additional info: I am pursuing an undergrad degree in engineering (I feel very confident in my math skills) My mother tongue is English I've never taken the GRE or any other standardized test I am not planning on taking any subject tests Should I take the whole summer to study 'casually'? Or should I study hard for a month after work hours/on weekends and write within 4 weeks? Any input is well appreciated. Thank you JFK_Aero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tupamaros Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 You need to research your desired programmes so as to establish goal scores. Then take a practice test to assess where you are currently, that will give you a good indicator of the amount of study you need to do to reach your goals.

Queen of Kale Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I agree with Tupamaros, but wanted to add that it never hurts to give yourself an extra week or two beyond what you expect to take. I made a plan based on 6 weeks of studying and booked a test 8 weeks out just in case at the end of the 6 weeks I didn't feel ready. But, everyone has a style and mine is just happens to be anal retentive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
