Some of the Tips and Techniques in GRE test
Hi friends one of my class friends, who had written the GRE test recently secured 1580/1600.I asked her for the reason of securing high score in GRE!She gave me some tips and techniques which she has followed!
Here comes some of the tips:
Be aware by the time you have finished your GRE preparation, you should be aware of the type of questions that will appear in the GRE Test. You should also be aware of how long each section is and the time limits. This will help you pace yourself through the test.
Know the directions for each question
Knowing the directions for the questions beforehand will save your valuable time. But remember the directions for the questions in the GRE Test might be slightly different from the ones in your study material. So always read the instructions but do it quickly. Don't stick to one question for too long.
By the time you have finished your GRE preparation, you should have a good estimate of how much time you can give to a particular question. Don't get stuck on one particular question for too long. This might cause you to lose precious time and miss questions you could have easily done.
Don't Rush
The GRE Test is about optimizing. Finishing the paper first is not what is important. You should devote just the right amount of time to each question. Maximizing your marks in a given period of time is your aim. So don't rush it as that might cost you valuable marks. The questions at the beginning are the most important
The questions at the beginning affect your score more than those towards the end. Take your time with those questions. It is vital that you get those questions right. Getting these correct will dramatically improve your score.
Selection by elimination:
When you don't know the answers to some questions, try and use the method of elimination. You may have a very good idea of which option cannot be the answer. Eliminate such options. It narrows down your guess to just maybe two options and sometimes down to one.
Don't leave any question
The GRE Test does not penalize you for wrong answers. So never leave any question unanswered.
Be very sure of your answer before proceeding
With the Computer-Adaptive Test (CAT) for GRE, you cannot return to a question once you have attempted it. You cannot leave the difficult questions for later nor can you check your answers towards the end even if you have extra time. So pace yourself properly and be very certain of your answers.
Get adequate rest the night before
Do a test drive exactly a week before your test
Getting to the test center on time is vital. In fact you should try and get to the test center 15-30 minutes before time. Taking a test drive to you test center exactly a week before might be a good idea. This will give you a rough idea of the traffic conditions at the time and day of your GRE.
One of the things you need is a chronometer. (In case you don't know what that means, start preparing for the GRE vocabulary ;-)
And lastly DON'T PANIC
No matter what happens, DON'T PANIC. Keep your cool all the time, even when you don't know the answer. Once you panic, you might even answer the easiest questions wrongly. If you feel yourself getting tense, take a short break, and calm yourself down.

Ankita Katdare@praveena: Nice article. It will be useful.
But, please mention the source. -
CIVILPRINCESSwow! that's an awesome score!
a nice list of tips too 😁 -
Neema AmbhurkarIt might seem absurd and funny, but do not forget to carry a windcheater or a jacket to your test center no matter what season you are giving the test. In some test centers, the air conditioning temperature is maintained at a very low level.
I have heard of cases where students couldn't pay proper attention during the exams because of the chilling environment.
It might not be the case at your test center, but there's nothing wrong in taking precautions. 😁 -
Ankita Katdare@Nion: 😁
The chilling temperature must be put up to test our sustainability under severe atmospheric changes. 😛
PS: Sorry for this unimportant post. -

Keep it up 😀 -
maria florThank you for sharing this praveena!!!

silverscorpionGood tips. 😀
I think it does. Basically, you cannot leave any question unanswered and proceed to the next question.praveena211The GRE Test does not penalize you for wrong answers. So never leave any question unanswered.
So, if you answer a question wrongly, the next question will be of a lower value than the current one.
If that's also wrong, the next one will have still lesser value. This is effectively penalizing a wrong answer, right?
That's why it's said that the questions at the beginning of the test are far more important than those at the end.
If you make mistakes in the beginning, the following questions will be of lower value. So, even if you manage to
answer all questions correctly, after some initial mistakes, you'll still get a lower score. Whereas, if you manage to
get correct answers in the beginning, but make a few mistakes towards the end, that won't have such a high impact on your total score. -
