The last month of

preparation for GRE

Recently, I was invited by Visu Consultants to give a seminar for their students. Most of these students told me that they would be writing their GRE/GMAT and TOEFL in the coming months. 

However, I realized, they did not know how to make the most of the last few months.

So, I told them what I did in the last month of my GRE preparation and how that helped me score 2230. Almost everyone felt the need for this kind of advice. And I thought that I should share it with you too.

If you are in the same situation you will find these valuable tips extremely useful. They will come in handy if you are taking the exam in the near future or even if you are planning to do so after a few years.

1. Practice Original Test papers: 

Get hold of the BigBook or any other source that has original questions and practice at least one test a day. It won't take you more than 2 hours to do three sections. Then revise the questions and solutions. In this way you can do one paper based test in 2 days.

After each day's work, revise it carefully. Use CareerCampus.net's solutions if you have the CD. Otherwise, you can discuss with fellow students about why you got the answers wrong.

2. Practice timed CATs: 

You should practice three full-length CATs before you go to the exam. While practicing with the BigBook, you get training on the kind of questions you will face in the exam. But practice on CATs will tune you for the front end of the exam.

3. Revise your vocabulary for 2 hours a day: 

You can use powerful programs like CareerCampus.net-WordMine or word lists. But you must have several thousand words at your finger tips when you attend the exam.

4. Revision:

Revise the strategies on one section every day for one hour.

5. Practice timed reading: 

Take a 500 page book (preferably non-fiction). It will have around 1,50,000 words. GRE/GMAT expects you to have reading speeds of 400 words per minute. Which means that you should finish the book in 400 minutes or approximately 7 hours.

Read for 1 hour every day. You must cover approximately 70 pages. If you are well below that (most probably this will be the case), every day, try to read 10% faster than your previous day's speed. Do this for an entire month.

As you can see, I have given you a 8-hour a day work. That's a lot. But that is what you need if you want a 2200 score.

Wish you good luck
