How does your time table for GRE Preparation look like or do you have a time table at all? To get high GRE Score, you need to have 3 things
- 20 Step GRE Exam Study Plan
- GRE Preparation Time Table (this article)
- GRE Score Tracker (future)
In this blog post, I will give a sample GRE preparation time table for 2 and 4 months preparation. At end of this article there is a poll.
4 Months GRE Time Table
Lets assume you have 4 months for your GRE Exam from today. Your daily GRE preparation study time table should look like the following
- Weekdays: 3 hours
- Morning:
- 1 Hour: GRE Verbal (Strategies and Words)
- Evening:
- 30 Minutes: GRE Verbal (review words from morning)
- 30 minutes: GRE Math
- 30 minutes : GRE Practice test (or study)
- 30 Minutes Test Review
- Morning:
- Weekends: 6-10 hours
- Sundays: 1 full test
Above study plan will work well if you have 4 or more month to study for GRE. Spending 3 hours just for GRE test preparation is not an easy task. It takes lot of dedication and motivation. If you are a college student, it will be lot tougher to allocate 3 hours per day. But, you have no other choice, but eliminate all the distraction and concentrate on improving your GRE Score.
2 Months: GRE Time Table
- Weekdays: 5 hours
- Mornings:
- 1 Hour: GRE Verbal (Strategies and Words)
- 1 Hour – Math (Strategies and formulas)
- Evening:
- 1 hours: GRE Verbal (review words from morning)
- 30 minutes: GRE Math
- 1 Hour: GRE Practice test (or study)
- 30 Minutes for Test Review
- Mornings:
- Weekends: 10 to 15 hours
- Sundays: 1 full test, Study.
When you have less then 2 months for your GRE Exam. 5 Hours per day should be the minimum time you have to spend on GRE Preparation.

I Search alot for dis kind of info.thanq.i get lot of info what i want..suggest the materials also i wil be very happy.
Hey Bhargavi,
I would suggest Kaplan work book for verbal and Barrons for math.
Since building a vocab for GRE is a process and not a preparation what I did is read magazines of American publications like Time etc as it would really help you to know how sentences are formed. Also any novels by P.G Wodehouse will increase your vocabulary by leaps and bounds.
Thanks,
Hemanth
