Week Study Plan for Essay Component of GRE

• Issue Essay: You are given a single essay topic, and you have 30 minutes to write a personal response.
• Argument Essay: You have no choice for the essay topic; you are presented with an snippet of an argument or an editorial, and you are allotted 30 minutes to critique the effectiveness of the provided statement.

Day 1

Become familiar with the format and features of the GRE, including timing tactics, adaptive testing, scoring and section order. These and other relevant topics are all discussed in the tutorials section of MyGRETutor.com. The first day is an introduction day, where you become acquainted with the GRE. Think back to what type of test taker you are. Do you speed through questions? Do you tend to jump around from question to question, doing the easy ones first and then going on to the hard ones? Spend the last 30 minutes of your study time learning new vocabulary words. Go through a handful of words to get a feel of the difficulty level that you'll experience on the real GRE. In 30 minutes, you should strive to view approximately 20 new vocabulary words. When viewing a vocabulary whose definition you do not know, read the definition out loud, and use the word in a sentence.

Day 2

Go over the Arithmetic tutorials sections, and do approximately 10 question of the practice questions for that section. Don't do all of the practice questions quite yet, because you'll have time in future weeks to finish most of the questions. Remember, you want to slowly absorb the tutorial and website information, because if you rush, there is a good chance that any new knowledge will retain in your short-term memory only, and so that won't help you during the exam.

Day 3

Spend this day on vocabulary building.

Day 4

On this day, complete the Algebra tutorials section, and complete approximately 10 practice questions on that topic. Finish the day with more vocabulary practice.

Day 5

Day 6

Complete the essay tutorials section, and become familiar with the type and scope of the essay topics that you'll be given.

Day 7

On this day, refresh yourself. Revise all the topics that you have studied so far and prepare for next week. Don't forget to take some rest.
