To make the most of your GRE study plan, it’s essential to regularly assess your progress. That’s why there is such a heavy emphasis on review and using a GRE Error Log in the study schedules. Students don’t often devote as much time as they should to going over what they’ve learned, identifying areas where they’re improving, and pinpointing topics that still remain a challenge. The learn –> Practice –> Review approach allows you to adjust your study plan based on your current needs, ensuring that you’re always focusing on areas that will have the most significant impact on your score.

Remember, the key to successful GRE prep is not just the hours you put in but also how effectively you use your study time. By following a structured study plan, regularly reviewing your progress, and seeking support when needed, you’ll be well on your way to achieving your target GRE score.
