In trying to gear up for my GRE test (a mere 5 weeks from now!) I have been trying to study in 4 hour blocks. All quantitative because I’m worse at it, and fairly slow with it. I haven’t really found a method of time-keeping for the math section that I love. If I try to do a few problems and keep an eye on time, then I waste even more minutes trying to figure out time per problem and what I have left. In trying to time each problem, I think I probably waste seconds keeping a close watch on the clock. Anyone know of quant timing hints?
Aside from my time situation, I think I’m on track with my preparation. I can manage to sit and study for the necessary length of time, have my tips and tricks arsenal in place, and am burning through the vocab flashcards. I need to practice for the writing sections a little more and take a full-length practice test, and I think I’ll be ready.

Oh, and take a drive to the test site so I can time how long that takes and be confident about the location. I don’t want any extra stress on test day.
Wish me luck, share any tips 🙂
