A2A. I took the SAT instead of ACT and going by my experience, the Barron’s mock tests prepared me sufficiently well to face the main exam. However, the main exams, be it SAT or ACT, tend to be more intimidating due to the pressure of performance. If you take enough Barron’s practice tests, you should sail through the real ACT.

tl; drONE MONTH IS ALL YOU NEED.Long VersionThis answer is for the average person whose Quant skills are better than the Verbal skills + Vocabulary.I gave my GRE in December and I prepared for about 25 days. A little background, first. I’m a working professional so I obviously had to tackle work hours with my prep. Thankfully, I had a very understanding supervisor who relaxed the work timings; this spared me about 6–7 hours each day to study each day.There have been many answers, so I’m only going to describe in detail what I did differently and pertaining to the fact that I had prior commitments as well. My TOEFL exam was scheduled 4 days after my GRE exam and so I devoted some time to that too. This resulted in my GRE prep per day being restricted to just 5 hours.Verbal: Refer the following booksWord Power Made Easy: I CANNOT emphasize the importance of this book enough. Not only does this book give you a reference to the most used words in GRE (RC + TC), but it gives you a way to remember about 100 words per day. Playing with the roots of a word, each chapter introduces about 40–60 new words. The practice sections with each chapter are very easy to follow and use the associative memory techniques in order to help you memorize. Do two chapters each day and practice with the exercises given. The last section gives you a comprehensive list of the most common words of GRE. If you have even lesser time, just follow this last section and you’re good to go.Magoosh Flashcards: 1 Basic + 1 Common + 1 Advanced section each day. Revise the words learnt that you learnt the previous day. WRITE each unknown word down with the meaning and the sentence. I made the mistake of not doing this and had to repeat all the words. DO NOT BE LAZY. THIS IS NOT THE TIME. Ask your parents/ friends to help you with this. Make your own flash cards if required. I troubled my roommate each night with my list, though she was more concerned for my handwriting.Official Guide(s): I bought the ETS OG (GRE complete + Verbal). Try for second hand, as these can be costly and you might want to resell them as well. Do 60 Verbal questions each day. I followed 20 RC + 20 TC + 20 SE. Took 45–60 minutes for the whole thing. MAKE SURE YOU ATTEMPT EACH QUESTION OF THE OG AT LEAST THRICE. I mean it. Go for it with some gap between each pass. I used Manhattan as my break in between each OG completion.Manhattan 5lb : Logical RC section of this book is just AWESOME. Competes with the GMAT CR section. Do each verbal section. But one pass was enough for me, with mistake correction and revision, of course. This is true for all the above. If you’re not learning from your mistakes, the study is redundant. Cliched, but true.Quant: Now I was pretty confident about this section, but I like solving any math problem ( I’m applying for MS Statistics) so I used to come to this any time I felt exhausted with work or Verbal prep. Preferably follow the same technique - work on your less stronger section when you’re fresh and the other section that you can maybe do in your sleep as well.OG: Again, do each question thrice. Do not forget the Math Review. Each topic has at least 1 question that will leave you stumped. You will either do a calculation mistake or even if you get an answer right, you’ll choose some wrong answer because of some carelessness. I majored in this, though that was because I was always exhausted by the time I came to this section (which was in the evening after work). But this kind of made me used to being worked up, which was a plus considering the fact that I had quant as an experimental section (Yayy)Manhattan 5lb: Now since you have a month, you should only focus on the areas in quant in which you’re scoring less than 90% regularly. In ym case, I went for inequalities, data interpretation (since I was constantly making calculation mistakes) and geometry (coordinate and figures). I practiced all the questions in each section. Just prioritize while working on this because there are many subparts and you wouldn’t want to spend too much time on concepts you’re already good in.Again, I was pretty strong in this section so I focussed more on the former.Practice tests: You should have access to 2 OG full length practice tests and 2 Powerprep Software tests. The latter ones are most important, hence use them at special times. Apart from these, you can access 1 free practice test from Manhattan and 1 from Kaplan. Use all tests as diagnostic tests. Take each test on the day you can spare sufficient time for the diagnosis and replicate actual test conditions as much as possible. VERY IMPORTANT.Test 1 (Powerprep Test 1): Right before starting your prep. Figure out weak areas. Plan your timeline.Test 2 (OG Guide paper based 1): Week 1 endTest 3 (Manhattan): Week 2 endTest 4 (OG Guide paper based 2) : Week 3 endTest 5 (Kaplan): Week 4 2nd dayTest 6 (Powerprep Test 2): Week 4 End, preferably couple days before D-dayBy now, you should be thoroughly prepared. I know I was, even though I was constantly worried about vocab. That’s natural and I know that now. Consider it an omen of good luck.Some general tips :When giving mock tests, try to simulate actual test conditions. In the last mock, THIS IS A MUST. This means, if your scheduled exam is at 10 am, on the day of the mock, wake up at 6–7 am and get ready earlier. Keep a snack in hand and practice one extra section before ( there will be 1 experimental section in GRE exam that messes you up so much)Restrict your sleep to 6 hours. It’s only for a month and this much is needed.ACT sane. I mean act because you will feel exhausted ALL the time if you’re handling two-three commitments at a time, like I was. So it is natural that you would want to run like a madman at one time or shout at people just for taking your pen without your consent ( If not, maybe I need therapy. Let me know. I’m Ross with MY SANDWICH) So just act like you’re in a play and it’s for a month.Follow a TV show for the entire duration. Helps in maintaining consistency. And choose just 1 TV series that will last you for that entire month. It will help you focus, have a set routine and will prove to be a healthy distraction unlike social media websites. Be careful to restrict this to just 1–2 slots per day. I went with Narcos and watched it in parts ( 25 min each )In case you’re an amnesiac in making, like me, you might want to try almonds. 8–10 nuts a day. Almonds.Have friends around who will encourage you. Involve as many people as possible. Contrary to popular belief, it will help you in your prep since you can discuss with others and studying alone ALL the time will frustrate you. Have someone take your dictation, invent games for vocab like charades etc. Add to this their happiness when you receive a good score (which you will); they’ll feel like they were a part of your journey. Win-win!Put your target universities and scores in front of you so you feel a sense of motivation everytime you look up. I stuck these post-it notes on my wall so it was the first thing I saw when I woke up and the last thing before I went to sleep. Yes, yes. Stanford. LOL. My GRE target was 340. So.This is important so you don’t lose track to various distractions.8. Have fun. When it’s over, you’ll feel a sense of massive achievement. Such satisfaction, much wow. You might even miss it because it will be the single most focused thing you do before getting an offer from your dream uni.Hope this helps. Questions in the comments, please!
