90 Day GRE Study Plan for Advanced Students

If you are striving for a top-notch verbal score, daily review of vocab is vital. 30 days is not a lot of time; however, you can certainly memorize a few hundred (maybe more) words in that timeframe.

Make use of Magoosh’s GRE Flashcards, but don’t limit yourself to just these words. Whenever you encounter a word you don’t know, look it up, make a flashcard, and add it to your own flashcard deck. You can go the old-fashioned route with hand-written, paper cards or opt for a digital version like Quizlet.

As you work through your flashcards you’ll want to organize them into three piles/categories. One category is for words that are “new” to you and you’re just trying to absorb their definitions/usage. Another category is for words that you’ve almost mastered–maybe you still need context clues to grasp their meanings. The final category represents a “done” stack that is only rarely reviewed.

We cannot stress the importance of reading to build your reading comprehension skills, refine your understanding of grammar and usage, and expand your vocabulary. You have to challenge yourself to read material that is written at the same level as the passages you’ll encounter on test day. Check out the links below for reliable sources and advice:

Non-fiction, scholarly books, history and social science topics are preferable.

How to Practice with Recommended Sources: Scientific American, Atlantic Monthly, The New Yorker, National Geographic, The Economist, Arts and Letters Daily, or The New York Times (a Sunday subscription is a great idea!).

A notebook or digital document to keep a written record of the questions that you miss. For each question you enter into your log do the following:

• Try to determine and make note of why you missed the question
• Read any related text explanations and watch any related video explanations
• Watch any recommended lesson videos (don’t worry about watching them out of order. You’ll likely be watching the videos a few times, especially those that relate to your weaker areas.)
• Be aware of any trends that help you identify your strengths and weaknesses.
• When you come across vocabulary that you don’t know or only sorta know in a question, be sure to add it to your flashcards. We use words that are trending on the GRE to create our content.

Not sure how to set up your error log? Here’s a free template.

Note: ETS launched the shorter version of the GRE in 2023. So, what does that mean if you have older prep materials? Good news!! You do not need to go out and buy new ones. Because there were no changes to the content that ETS tests, there have been no real changes to the prep books that cover that content. In fact, at the time of this writing, ETS hasn’t even released a new edition of its own prep material, The Official Guide, but does provide the following note:

“The practice tests in this book are for the General Test that was administered before September 22, 2023. However, because the shorter GRE includes the same question types (except for the Analyze an Argument essay task which has been removed), this book is a great way to prepare for the shorter GRE.”

Thus, if you have older versions of prep materials, you should be all set to dive in. Just be sure to skip any content related to the Analyze an Argument part of the AWA, and be sure to review the GRE’s updated timing and structure.

Without your own Magoosh account, you won’t be able to access many of the lessons, practice questions, and practice tests that are linked in the daily tasks; however, there are a number of lessons and practice materials that are publically available, and, of course, you can also follow the daily breakdown of topics and activities using The Official Guide or any other material(s) you are using for your GRE prep.

1.) Go to ETS.org/gre, and read about the content of the GRE. Click on and read each sub-heading link.

2.) Watch the following Magoosh lesson videos:

Intro – General Introduction

Intro – What’s on the GRE?

Intro – Computer Adaptive Testing

Intro – Skipping Questions and Pacing

Study Plans and Resources

Intro – Stress Management

Build Your Error Log

If you haven’t done so already, now is the time to be sure you have this essential document at the ready.

3.) Take a look at your week ahead and schedule about 2 hours for a full-length practice. It’s planned for Day 6 in this schedule, but you can move that around if needed. If you haven’t done so yet, this is a perfect opportunity to take Magoosh’s Free GRE Practice Test.

Additional Practice (if needed or time permitting)

If you have a paper or digital copy of ETS’s Official Guide for the GRE (and you really should), you can use them to supplement your practice. There are plenty of harder practice questions, written by the folks who write the questions on the actual exam, for both math and verbal that you can dive into.

Review

Today, you are going to start making use of your error log. As you review the results of the mixed math practice set, add each incorrect question to your log and do the following:

Try to determine and make note of why you missed the question

Read any related text explanations and watch any related video explanations

Watch any recommended lesson videos (don’t worry about watching them out of order. You’ll likely be watching the videos a few times, especially those that relate to your weaker areas.)

Be aware of any trends that help you identify your strengths and weaknesses.

Don’t just skip over the questions you got right! Double check that you got them right for the right reasons. If you guessed or just weren’t all that sure how you arrived at the correct answer, devote time to reviewing the explanations and absorbing the underlying concepts and solution steps.

Additional Practice

In the GRE Math Flashcards

Take 15 minutes to review the cards in the first deck, Algebra. If you are 100% confident that you know the concepts therein, awesome! If not, be sure to devote time to memorizing any that you don’t have down pat.

Download the Magoosh Complete Guide to GRE Vocabulary PDF

Read carefully the section “Making Words Stick,” about learning vocabulary, and the section “Vocabulary in Context: Articles from Magazines and Newspapers.” Skim the rest of the book to get a sense of the layout and style. As you build vocab through this plan, periodically go back to this book to verify your understanding and to make connections to other words. The more ways you have to remember a word, the more likely you are to remember it!

In the GRE Vocabulary Flashcards

Work on mastering at least 20 words from the first deck, Common Words I. Of course, if you already know most of the 51 words in this deck, feel free to check out the other decks in any of the categories: Common, Basic, and Advanced. If you already have a vocabulary that would rival those of most literature professors, then you will most likely need to rely on your personal reading and curated lists of the most esoteric GRE words (a quick Internet search will produce quite a few list options) to push your vocabulary to new heights.

Practice

If you have a Magoosh Premium or Trial subscription, navigate to your dashboard and select Practice → Custom Practice → Math → Multiple Choice → Do 15 questions. As you work through this set, try to identify any clues that indicate you can plug in as a solution option.

Pacing

For now, do not fret about how long you’re spending on the questions. Let’s focus on accuracy first. We’ll bring speed into the equation later. That being said, if you already have a high rate of accuracy, feel free to prioritize pacing from the get go. Reminder: You have an average of about 1 minute and 45 seconds per math question.

Which difficulty should I choose?

Ideally, you should select Adaptive difficulty. That setting will most accurately reflect the variety of questions that you’ll encounter on test day. However, you should feel free to select the setting that best fits your ability level for the topic and/or concept covered in a given day’s lessons.

If you feel very comfortable with a specific topic or are a more advanced student who wants to focus on higher-level concepts, you might frequently select Medium to Hard or even Very Hard.

Please note, if you choose to only work on questions from one category of difficulty, you could exhaust that particular group, which means that you might start seeing repeat questions during custom practice or during a practice test.

Review

For each question from the practice that you missed, enter it into your log and do the following:

Try to determine and make note of why you missed the question

Read any related text explanations and watch any related video explanations

Read 1-3 articles from your reading source of choice, noting grammatical structures that prove challenging. Be sure to look up and write down any words you don’t know–they should be added to your flashcards.

In your Magoosh dashboard, navigate to Practice → Practice Test.

Be sure that you have around 2 hours of uninterrupted time. You want your practice test experience to be as realistic as possible. REMEMBER! There are no breaks given during the five sections of the GRE.

If this is your first full-length test, this is an important moment! Not only will you start to get a sense for how you feel taking the GRE but, at the end, you will also find out your all important baseline scores. These will be the scores (Math, Verbal, AWA) you build from as you push towards your goal, the scores you need to reach to feel confident when applying to your chosen graduate programs.

If you’ve already taken a practice or Official GRE test, that’s great! You already know where you’re at, score wise, and know how close (or far) that score is from where you need it to be.

Note: Don’t worry about reviewing your test immediately after you complete it unless you have enough gas left in the tank. You’ll kick off the next study session with a deep-dive review.

Rest, Review, Practice or Catch-up

If you’re feeling pretty good about where you’re at (both in the schedule and in your overall progress), take a break! You deserve one! But, if you are raring to keep going check out the following options:

Spend some quality time with your error log. Revisit (maybe redo a few) missed questions and review their associated lessons.

Try to determine and make note of why you missed the question

Read any related text explanations and watch any related video explanations

Watch any recommended lesson videos (don’t worry about watching them out of order. You’ll likely be watching the videos a few times, especially those that relate to your weaker areas.)

Be aware of any trends that help you identify your strengths and weaknesses.

Add any words from the questions that you only sorta know or don’t know to your vocabulary flashcards.

Double check that you got the correct ones right for the right reasons. If you guessed or just weren’t all that sure how you arrived at the correct answer, devote time to reviewing the explanations and absorbing the underlying concepts and solution steps.

As you review your test, try to recall which question types you struggled with the most. Can you find any patterns? Are you making careless mistakes? If so, reflect on the reason: Working too fast? Misreading the question? Figure out where you should slow down when testing.

90 Day GRE Study Plan: Week 5

Open your error log for a deep-dive review of your practice test. As always:

Try to determine and make note of why you missed the question

Read any related text explanations and watch any related video explanations

Watch any recommended lesson videos (don’t worry about watching them out of order. You’ll likely be watching the videos a few times, especially those that relate to your weaker areas.)

Be aware of any trends that help you identify your strengths and weaknesses.

Add any words from the questions that you only sorta know or don’t know to your vocabulary flashcards.

Double check that you got the correct ones right for the right reasons. If you guessed or just weren’t all that sure how you arrived at the correct answer, devote time to reviewing the explanations and absorbing the underlying concepts and solution steps.

As you review your test, try to recall which question types you struggled with the most. Can you find any patterns? Are you making careless mistakes? If so, reflect on the reason: Working too fast? Misreading the question? Figure out where you should slow down when testing.

If you are feeling a bit behind schedule, use this as an opportunity to get caught up or closer to caught up.

Pacing Note: This week you are near the ½ way point of the schedule. If you haven’t started to do so already, you should start focusing on the pacing piece of the GRE puzzle. An effective pacing and skipping strategy is a major component of success.

Thus far, we’ve suggested doing the practice sessions in accordance with your comfort level with the material. Starting this week, we suggest that you transition from accuracy to speed. This might be a bit frustrating at first. Increasing your speed while maintaining your accuracy will not come overnight. It is a process. So, take your time with it. Imagine that you’re training to be a world class swimmer: technique (or accuracy in this case) will equate to speed. Regardless of how quickly you are answering questions, you should maintain the technique (the accuracy) that you developed before you began working on maximizing your pace.

If this feels like a lot to you, work in stages. Set achievable goals as you attempt to improve your pacing! Try to answer questions at a pace of three minutes per question. The next day, set a faster pace, like two and half minutes per question.

Do this day by day until you are answering questions at the target times:

Math ≈ 1:45 per question

Verbal ≈ 1:30 per question

Of course, those target times vary–the greater the question complexity, the longer it will take to solve it.

Difficulty Note: At this point, we also suggest that you switch to Adaptive Difficulty, if you haven’t already. Of course, that’s ultimately up to you, where you’re at in your studies, and how you’ve chosen to modify this schedule. However, it is a good idea for your practice to mimic, as much as possible, what you’ll encounter on test day.

Open your error log for a deep-dive review of your practice test. For this and the remaining practice tests, pacing should be a priority.

Consider the following:

Which question types are still giving you the most trouble in terms of timing?

Are you able to identify question types that you should skip in order to improve your overall pacing? If not, doing so should become a priority in your practice and review.

Can you identify questions on which you should have spent MORE time?

As always, work through the following:

Determine why you missed the question

Read any related text explanations and watch any related video explanations

Watch any recommended lesson videos. Don’t worry about watching them out of order or watching them again. You’ll likely be watching the videos a few times, especially those that relate to your weaker areas.

Be aware of any trends that help you identify your strengths and weaknesses.

Add any words from the questions that you only sorta know or don’t know to your vocabulary flashcards.

If you are feeling a bit behind schedule, use this as an opportunity to get caught up or closer to caught up.

Open your error log for a deep-dive review of your practice test. Remember, pacing should be a priority.

Consider the following:

Which question types are still giving you the most trouble in terms of timing?

Are you able to identify question types that you should skip in order to improve your overall pacing? If not, doing so should become a priority in your practice and review.

Can you identify questions on which you should have spent MORE time?

As always, work through the following:

Determine why you missed the question

Read any related text explanations and watch any related video explanations

Watch any recommended lesson videos. Don’t worry about watching them out of order or watching them again. You’ll likely be watching the videos a few times, especially those that relate to your weaker areas.

Double check that you got the correct ones right for the right reasons. If you guessed or just weren’t all that sure how you arrived at the correct answer, devote time to reviewing the explanations and absorbing the underlying concepts and solution steps.

Watch this final lesson: Test Day

Day Before

Focus on feeling your best for test day!

No GRE preparation

Eat a large, healthy, leisurely dinner—no alcohol

Go to bed earlier than usual

Day Of

ABSOLUTELY NO LAST MINUTE CRAMMING!

Eat a large breakfast, full of protein

Do relaxing, fun activities to pass time until the test

If you have any remaining time before your exam, focus on a concentrated review

For whatever days remain before your test, keep up the work on GRE math and verbal. Some suggestions for what to do:

By selecting question type and difficulty on your “Dashboard,” keep doing Magoosh problems or do problems you’ve previously attempted over again to see how you do a second time.

Keep watching Magoosh lesson videos on whatever topics you feel you need to review.

Keep reading challenging material to build vocabulary and acclimate to complex sentence structures.

Keep drilling your vocab flashcards and your math flashcards.

If you have time for more practice tests, you can check out the free and paid versions of ETS Power Prep. Another highly recommended source for practice tests are those produced by Manhattan Prep.

You have done an incredible amount of work, so be proud of what you’ve accomplished!

Good luck! 🙂
