Читать книгу GRE 2022 For Dummies with Online Practice - Ron Woldoff - Страница 26

Just because you know a subject well doesn’t mean you can ace it on the GRE. Test-taking requires a completely separate skill set. Start taking practice tests at least two weeks prior to your scheduled GRE so you have time to hone your skills, learn from your mistakes, and strengthen your weak areas. I once had a group of financial advisors struggle with the math portion. When I asked about this, they told me that they use Excel for everything!

Your proficiency with the test itself is as important as your math and verbal skills. As you take the practice tests, check your testing performance. Many major mistakes begin two hours into the exam. Do you still try as hard as you did in the beginning? Do you begin to misread questions, make simple math mistakes, or fall for traps?

In addition to working the practice tests in this book, I recommend working the free computer-based practice tests that Educational Testing Service (ETS) provides at www.ets.org. See Chapter 3 for details.
