I just did the power prep... for got how long those were. I finished early on both them.  I dont even spend anywhere close to 50 hours studying for graduate classes in an entire semester, can't imagine anyone needed to spend that much time for a test as easy as the GRE.

General GRE: 3-5 hours

 

Physics GRE: 40-45 hours

Maybe the one that spent 200+ hours was out of school for years or came from a weak undergrad...

I don't know that I accept the weak undergrad rationale as the what the GRE tests is pretty basic. Even the quantitative section only covers high school mathematics.

What about a subject test?

Subject tests are probably a different story, but taking one isn't a universal experience. At the least I can say I didn't do one.
