GRE 90 Day GRE Study Plan for Beginners - image by Magoosh

If you’re starting more or less from scratch, you may be wondering if 90 day (~3 month) GRE prep is even possible. It is! But there’s a key component to preparing for the GRE: you need a strategic GRE study guide to organize yourself before your exam day. Luckily, Magoosh has an expert-written plan than can help you figure out how to start preparing to meet and exceed your GRE goals in the next three months!

Table of Contents


 

Choosing Your 90 Day GRE Study Schedule

We designed four different versions of the Magoosh 90 Day Study Plan. Start with a little self-diagnosis or this quiz to find the best GRE study plan. Which sounds most like you?

  • 📍 90 Day GRE Study Plan for Beginners: I’m in the right place. Math and verbal both scare the living bejeebers out of me! I need all the help and support I can get!
  • 90 Day GRE Study Plan (Math Focused): I have a natural affinity with the verbal, but the math is far less intuitive for me. I would like to focus more there.
  • 90 Day GRE Study Plan (Verbal Focused): Me a math nerd. Me think all math easy. Me have big verbal problems. One day, me will talk good.
  • 90 Day GRE Study Plan for Advanced Students: I actually feel reasonably comfortable with math and verbal. If I took the test today, I’d get around 310-320 combined score. I’m interested in refining my understanding and getting into the 320s region in the next 12 weeks.

 

FAQ: How do I know whether this is right plan for me?

If you follow choice A, this “beginner” plan, all the information you need for complete GRE exam mastery will pass before your eyes! It’s simply a question of whether you can learn, assimilate, and retain it all over the course of your GRE studying. You are not limiting yourself at all by following this plan: the only reason to follow any other plan is if all the review of verbal or math material would be tedious for you, because you know it inside-out already.

If you really can’t decide, buy any cheap GRE prep book (earlier editions are cheaper and are fine), and just take a practice GRE cold. Let your performance on that, with essentially no preparation, determine which plan you should follow.

FAQ: How can I make sure I’m getting the most out of this 90 day GRE study schedule?

Before you begin, check out some strategies for making the most of your study schedule. This guide will ensure you use Magoosh GRE plans in a way that works best for you.

How to Use This GRE Study Schedule

This 90-day plan is designed to have you improve as much as you can in a three-month period. I have designed twelve weeks, assuming 2-3 hours for each of the five weekdays, and one 4-5 stint on the weekend (“Day Six”). If you would prefer to work on both weekend days, and free up some weeknight time, feel free to make those changes.

  • Many folks find that each day’s assignments take 2-3 hours, although times to complete them will vary for different students.

Essential Materials


Magoosh GRE Prep ETS’s Official Guide to the GRE book ETS’s PowerPrep Online GRE Vocabulary Flashcards GRE Math Flashcards Magoosh’s GRE Complete Guide

 

  • Daily review of vocab is vital. I wrote this schedule recommending the Magoosh’s GRE Flashcards, but DO NOT limit yourself to just these words. As you read and find more words you don’t know, look them up, make flashcards (including context), and make your own flashcard decks. You could have one pile for words whose denotation you are trying to master, another containing words for which you know the denotation but not the connotation, and a “done” stack that gets reviewed only rarely.
  • As you study vocabulary, it’s important not only to learn the literal dictionary definition (the denotation), but also to understand the metaphorical use of the word in context (the connotation). For example, the word “opaque” literally means “not transparent”, but metaphorically it can mean “hard to understand” or, describing a person, it can mean “thick-headed, stupid.” Ultimately, you should strive to learn both the denotation and the connotation of each word.

 

  • Don’t write in any of the test prep books, because for any of them, after a period of time you may want to go back and do a problem again that you haven’t seen for a while. You can only start it fresh if the page is free of your marks.

Supplemental/Optional Materials

Any of the steps listed in the schedule for the materials below are purely for extra practice, so they are to be done as optional tasks if you have extra time.

  • Any of the volumes of the Manhattan GRE books. It’s an eight-volume set, so buy as much as you think will help you and as you can afford. This is not absolutely necessary, but it is recommended. You will have to find places in this schedule to “fit in” the extra reading, but it will help you. Nevertheless, we do not recommend the Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence book, because these rely on too much obscure vocabulary.
  • McGraw-Hill’s Conquering the New GRE Math: This book is for those struggling with the very basics of math—folks who are in sheer panic over almost anything mathematical.
  • Manhattan’s 6 GRE online practice tests. One test is offered for free, with six additional tests available for purchase.
  • A guide to GRE Practice Test Resources: This page includes instructions on where to find good full-length GRE practice tests, and how to take practice tests and incorporate them into your studies. This page also has links to Magoosh’s free GRE diagnostic quizzes.
  • Quizlet.com: Gives you online access to flashcards, making it easier, say, to quiz yourself on your mobile device
  • Vocabulary.com: Provides conversational example sentences and a flood of example sentences
  • Word Dynamo (Dictionary.com): Gives you little quizzes and games to add some variety to vocab learning
  • Magoosh iPhone/Android app, for mobile practice

90 Day GRE Study Plan: Week One

 
* Tasks marked with an asterisk indicate that this 90 day GRE study plan resource is only available to Magoosh students—sign up here for a free trial!

  • Get enough sleep during this month. REM sleep plays an important role in encoding long term memory, and in an eight hour period of sleep, the last hour has the most REM. If you are getting 7 hours/night instead of 8 hours/night, you are depriving your brain of one of its most powerful systems for learning and remembering.
Week One, Day One
  • Go to ETS.org/gre, and read about the content of the GRE. Click on and read each sub-heading link.
  • In the Official Guide,
    • Read Chapter 1, “Introducing the GRE revised General Test”
    • Read Chapter 2, “GRE Analytic Writing” (just the descriptions of the question, not all the sample material)
    • Read the introductory few pages of Chapter 3, “GRE Verbal Reasoning” (everything up to the sample questions)
    • Read the introductory few pages of Chapter 5, “GRE Quantitative Reasoning” (everything up to the sample questions)
  • Start reading through the GRE Math Review in the Official Guide, the entire Arithmetic section. Take notes in your journal on whatever is unfamiliar. Do the Arithmetic Exercises and correct your answers.
  • Watch the Magoosh lesson videos:
  • In the GRE Math Flashcards
    • Take 15 minutes to start studying the cards in the first deck, Algebra.

Week One, Day Two

Week One, Day Three
  • Continue reading through the GRE Math Review: read the Geometry section. Take notes in your journal on whatever is unfamiliar. Do the Geometry Exercises and correct your answers.
  • Watch the Magoosh lesson videos:
  • In the Magoosh product, do:
    • Math – 20 Multiple Choice Questions*

      Notice you are doing all topics from the get-go, whether you have already studied these or not. This means that you will make some mistakes at the beginning: see this post on a productive attitude toward making mistakes. If, after a week or so of practice, you find that there is simply too much new material for you, then narrow your studies to those topics you’re more actively studying plus one or two that you’re unfamiliar with. You should be constantly challenged. If you do narrow the topics of study, expand back to as wide a scope as possible, as quickly as possible.

      After you submit your answer for each Magoosh problem, the next page will tell you whether you were right or wrong, with a video solution and a text summary. If you got the question right, skim the text summary to verify you got it right for the right reason. If you got the question wrong, watch the video, taking notes in your journal about any concept or any aspect of the question type that was unclear to you.

  • Download the Magoosh GRE Math Formula eBook.
    • Read carefully the first section, “GRE Math Formulas: How to (Not) Use Them.” Right now, just skim the rest of the book, just to get a sense of what topics are covered. As you move through this plan, you will cover all of these. Use this for reinforcement and review: as you cover a particular math topic in the Magoosh lessons, read the corresponding part of this book to verify your understanding. By the end of this plan, you should know every section of this book.
  • In the GRE Math Flashcards
    • Take 15 minutes to continue studying the cards in the first deck, Algebra. Review any cards you missed earlier.

  • In the Magoosh product, do:
  • Today, you are going to write an Issue essay.

    For topics, go to the ETS GRE Issue Pool. Figure out a way to pick topics at random (maybe you print the lists, cut it into slips of paper, and choose some at random). Write the essays in a word processing program. Observe a strict 30 minute time limit.

    Now that you have this essay, what do you do with it? If you have a friend or mentor who is a gifted writer, ask them to read the essay for you and critique it. If they are willing, you can show them the assessment criteria in the Official Guide, and ask them to follow it. If you can afford it, hire a writing coach or writing tutor: show that tutor the assessment criteria in the OG, and have them give you feedback. If you can’t afford a writing tutor and can’t convince anyone else to read it, you may try posting it on TheGradCafe, and see whether an expert there will critique your essay. Failing any of these options, you can at least set the essay aside, and re-read it a couple of days later with the Official Guide’s rubric beside you. (Notice whatever route worked for you with this essay; you can repeat that with all the essays you write in the practice tests you take as part of this plan.)

  • In the GRE Official Guide & McGraw-Hill’s Conquering the New GRE Math:

    a) in GRE Official Guide, do the Ch. 4, Verbal Reasoning Practice Sets 1-4

    b) in GRE Official Guide, do the Ch. 6, Quantitative Reasoning Practice Sets 1, 2, & 4

    c) in McGraw-Hill, do GRE Math Practice Section 1 (optional)

    Follow strict time limits, to give you sense of the pace you need to keep on the GRE. Set a timer for the time limits. Here are the time limits to observe:

    • Official Guide Verbal Reasoning Set 1 = 12 minutes
    • Official Guide Verbal Reasoning Set 2 = 18 minutes
    • Official Guide Verbal Reasoning Set 3 = 12 minutes
    • Official Guide Verbal Reasoning Set 4 = 18 minutes
    • Official Guide Quantitative Reasoning Set 1 = 22 minutes
    • Official Guide Quantitative Reasoning Set 2 = 23 minutes
    • Official Guide Quantitative Reasoning Set 4 = 13 minutes
    • McGraw-Hill, GRE Math section = 35 minutes
    Improve your GRE score with Magoosh.

    After you are done, check all your answers. For any question you got right, skim the explanation to verify that you got it right for the right reason. For any question you got wrong, read the explanation thorough, taking notes in your journal on any concepts you didn’t understand and anything about the question format that psyched you out. You can also watch the Magoosh Video Explanations of the OG practice questions.

    If you are doing MUCH better than expected on either Math or Verbal, this might be a good time to consider whether you should switch to another version of the 3-month plan (see explanations of them at the top).

After Week 12: Concentrated Review

At this point, if you have been following the schedule, you should have done every question in Magoosh at least once. For whatever days remain before the test, keep up work on GRE math and verbal. Some suggestions for what to do:

  • By selecting question type and difficulty on the “Dashboard,” do Magoosh problems over again, and see how you do a second time.
  • Keep watching 5 Magoosh lesson videos a day, on whatever topics you feel you need to review.
  • Keep reading your challenging material, to build vocabulary and acclimate your ear to eloquent style.
  • Keep drilling your vocab flashcards and your math flashcards.
  • Re-read any topics in the McGraw-Hill’s Conquering the New GRE Math—any topics where you feel you would benefit from further review.
  • If you have time for more practice tests, you can use the optional Manhattan GRE practice tests.

Day before the test

  • No GRE preparation all day
  • Eat a large, healthy, leisurely dinner—no alcohol
  • Go to bed earlier than usual

Day of test

  • ABSOLUTELY NO LAST MINUTE GRE PREPARATION!
  • Eat a large breakfast, full of protein
  • Do relaxing, fun activities to pass time until the test

Bring to the test

  • A liter of water
  • Healthy energy-packed snacks (nuts, protein bar, etc.)
  • On breaks, make sure to get up, move, and stretch—moving and stretching the large muscles of the body (legs and torso) will get oxygen flowing throughout, which will help keep you awake and keep you thinking clearly.
