study a little bit each day.  If your exam is tomorrow, try studying the things you think are 1) hardest 2) most likely to be on the test

you should start studying, but like that guy said, plan it out. Get  hold of past papers. Do a timed one, and see what your score is. Go  over your notes to see where you went wrong. Do a past paper every 2 days, you'll improve in your knowledge, improve in  knowing what a question is asking for, and you will know how to do these types of questions come the exam. Good luck.

This depends on the test.  Some pat answers are:\n\n1. Prepare and use flash cards for vocabulary words (these continue to exist into graduate school)\n\n2. Form a study group that creates "pop quiz" questions for each other.\n\n3. Create memnonic enhancers - alternate ways of memorizing outside of rote.  Examples: anachronyms, songs, imagery, even physical cues, but the concepts must easily relate to the memnonic.\n\n4. Ask the instructor this question!  Oftentimes they provide the best insight, but most students are afraid to ask.\n\n5. Use advanced reading techniques (SQ3R) to create your own test questions from your textbook.  You may be surprised how you end up knowing the questions before you see them on the exam!

you should study a little daily to do well, but in crunch you can use your subconscious to help you.  Look at each page a few minutes dont try to read every word, just let your brain "take a picture" so to speak.  do this before you go to sleep and the first thing upon waking.  When you are taking the test, if you dont know the answer for sure, go with your first instinct then DO NOT GO BACK AND CHANGE IT, YOUR FIRST INSTINCT IS MORE OFTNE CORRECT BECAUSE YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND IS RECALLING SOMETHING YOU CANT BRING INTO CONSCIOUS THOUGHT AT THE M0MENT.  \nthe most important thing is that u dont go back and change your answer. Never go back and change answers

1.  Come prepared with pens, white-out, pencils, erasers and a watch.\n2.  Sit up straight and don't sit near people who will distract you.  If you often have questions during the test, sit near the front of the room.\n3.  If you have to read something and answer questions about it, start by reading the questions first.  Then you'll know what to look for when you're doing the reading, and can underline important passages as you read.\n4.  Trust your intuition and keep the first answer you selected.\n5.  Use the information from multiple-choice questions to help you write essay questions.\n6.  If you have to write an essay question, use the words from the question in your introductory sentence.\n7.  If you have a math test, always show your work.\n8.  Give priority to the questions that are worth more points.  Don't waste ten minutes on a question worth one point unless you're finished everything else on the test.\n9.  Before you submit your test to the teacher, go back and make sure you've answered all the questions and didn't miss a page.\n10. If you had to answer multiple-choice questions on a bubble sheet, frequently check to make sure you're filling in the right row.  ALL of your answers will be wrong if you accidentally miss a row or put two answers in one row.\n11.  Plan something fun to do right after the test so that you won't just sit around worrying for the next two hours!\n\nGOOD LUCK!

What helped me a lot was Kaplan's GRE Exam book. It prepared me for the whole exam. In the back it has word lists, prefix/suffix lists, top GRE word lists, synonym lists, etc. Studying these lists and doing the practice exams in the book and on the CD helped me the most. Make flash cards using the lists and study hard!\n\nI studied the book for about 3 months prior to the exam and passed with a 570 verbal and 660 quantitative, 5.0 on the essay part. I highly recommend the book and it's not too expensive. Around $20 or $25 if i remember correctly.

I'm in the same situation as you. I want to take my GRE in August, so I am going to start studying now. I bought Kaplan's prep book and it is starting to freak me out. I've always done really well in my classes, but I couldn't even answer half of the verbal test questions. I talked with some of my friends who took the test last year and they suggest making vocabulary flashcards or looking at different websites for help with the vocab. They said give yourself at least a month or two to help practice.
