How Much Time Do you Need to Prepare for GRE?

Students often ask me the same question: how long would it take me to prepare for the GRE? Well, the answer is not easy because every student is different. In order to find a resolution to this, the first thing that you need to do is to take a mock GRE test. This would let you know about your current standing, your strengths and your weaknesses. Hence, this can be a good starting point. Based your score and performance, you can come up with a game plan that would give you a fairly good idea regarding which portions of the test you need to work on more and how much time you need to cover the whole test.

Make a daily preparation schedule and stick to it religiously. Make sure you cover all the aspects related to the test in this schedule including the essay writing. Keep at least one week at the end of the schedule to do daily timed sample GRE tests for the sake of practice. That will give you the confidence you need to do well on the actual test. One day before the test, don’t do much but relax as much as possible.
