Dear student,

Before the actual date, you should be taking around 12 full length GRE tests to get
used to time management, stress management, mixed bag questions of various
topics and moreover sitting for long at a stretch.
Initially u may start taking tests without AWA just to focus on the math & verbal
sections but make sure u take atleast 6 tests at the end WITH AWA (only 1 a day).
Go thru the explanatory answers thoroughly for both math and verbal after east
test. Remember u wont upgrade unless u to thru the detailed explanatory answers
and realize ur mistakes and flaw in the thought process.
The SCORES are not important and reliable. Every publication (Princeton, Kaplan,
Manhattan, GRE prep, etc) has a different algorithm to calculate scores. There are
lot of variables like the difficulty level of questions, the type of questions, the way
they convert the accuracy to the scale score, the way they convert the scale score
to the final score etc is different in different publications. It may happen that one
day u score a 310 in a particular test and the next day u may just score a 300 in
some other test. That doesnt mean that u have dropped down by 10 points in a day
!!! Even the official GRE PREP tests are no exceptions. Even their scoring is
flawed !! So dont be bothered abt the scores. Rather u should be targeting the
accuracy and the benchmarks for the same is different in different tests.
Dont get stuck up at a particular question If u dont get the answer within 1.5
mins, then take an educated guess and move to the next question. Avoid theoretical
methods of x & y, equations and focus more on unconventional methods like
plugging in, backsolving & elimination, approximation etc.
Mentioned below is the details reg different tests. Also practice the tests in the
same order as given below.

In Case u wish to revise AWA In the dvd, u ll find an AWA folder in which u ll find
