GRE time managing

[antonioa1]

Hello everyone!

 

My GRE test is May 20th. I picked up the ETS GRE book of their website and I purchased an analytical writing online tool. How should I go about studying? I have a full time job so I wanted to know exactly how many hours a week should I be putting in? I want to organize myself and build a structured schedule to follow.

I took the General and subject GRE a few times. I got the best results with Magoosh. You can download the apps

on your phone and do flash cards anywhere and their website lays out the best plans for you and how much time you'll need.

I also really got the most benefit out of Magoosh, and I used their free version on their app and online! It has a lot of assessments to find out your weak areas and then work on those. The ETS book can be helpful if you are able to organize your studying and not spend a long time in one area. 

I would start with doing a practice test/assessment. A lot of people find success in studying for 30 minutes-an hour a day during the week and then maybe extra time on the weekends. If you can manage it, planning two study sessions (early in the day and later) might help you stay practiced.  

I found this study plan extremely helpful and comprehensive.
