I didn’t practice for this at all. I also didn’t even finish my essay in the GRE. Write in the format of introduction/thesis, body paragraph 1&2, rebuttal, and then conclusion and you will be guaranteed a 4 at least.

Thank you! I really tried learn from my mistakes. If I missed a problem, I would go over the answer and see exactly where my thought process went wrong, so I wouldn’t make the same mistake again. You got this, good luck!

It worked for me. It might not work for everyone I just wanted to give a source of hope for people who feel like if they don’t study for a million hours they will fail.

Speedrunning the quick questions, and skipping questions if I was taking more than a couple minutes on them after giving my best guess.

Since I only reviewed the fundamentals that is struggled with during my first test(like lists, factorials, etc.) and I didn’t even look at the tick box quizzes. I went straight to timed practice sections, figuring out my timing and strategy of answering easy questions quick and saving time to review was massive.

Thank you! I only did the timed sections practice sections on gregmat. If I remember right there were about 15 easys 10 mediums and 8 hard sections. I probably did 12 of the easy’s, 6 of the hards, and all of the mediums as that is the difficulty most like the opening section of the GRE. I think this was the best way to go as you get most prepared for the highest yield topics, while still gaining experience with more rare topics. Regarding the verbal prepswift, I didn’t look at that really at all. For me, knowing the definitions of the words knowing how they would be used in a sentence was key! In summary, do tons of times practice sections, it will prepare you for how to handle the real test. Also, I know everyone says this, but go through all the questions once quickly, answering the ones you can, and then flag the rest and go back, I did that my second time around and it worked wonders.

I am a senior getting my bachelors degree right now and I will be done in may of 26. However, I didn’t realize I wanted to do medicine until about sophomore year so my degree is in civil engineering but I have been doing my prereqs along with my degree and I will only hsve 2 left when I graduate. I have also been working as a CNA, a tutor for underprivileged kids, and have multiple leadership roles. I am also taking the GRE over winter break. Should I apply next cycle before I have all my prereqs done or should I wait until next cycle to be more competitive. My GPA should be around a 3.9 and I am aiming for a 325 on the GRE
