<\/p>\n

If you’re starting more or less from scratch, you may be wondering if 90 days (~3 months) of GRE prep is even close to enough time. It is! But there’s a key component to preparing for the GRE: You need to be strategic about how you organize your study. Luckily, Magoosh has an expert-written plan that can help you figure out how to prepare to meet and exceed your GRE goals in the next three months!<\/p>\n

This 90-day plan is designed to have you improve as much as you can in a three-month period. We have designed twelve weeks, assuming 1.5-2.5 hours for each of the five weekdays, and one longer stint on the weekend (“Day Six”). If you would prefer to work on both weekend days, and free up some time during the week, feel free to make those changes.<\/p>\n

For GRE Beginners: Starting with the Basics<\/h2>\n

This schedule was designed with beginners in mind, which means that most of the assigned lessons skew towards covering the fundamentals–the basic topics, techniques, and strategies that will give you a solid foundation for how to approach the GRE exam.<\/p>\n

If you find that you are already comfortable with a lot of the introductory material, you can always modify this schedule to suit your own prep needs. Once you have a sense of your personal strengths and weaknesses, you can dig into all the available lessons on the Magoosh dashboard, swap out lesson material that you’re well-versed in for more advanced concepts, and set up custom practice sessions that focus on your desired topic of study. This schedule was designed to be easily modified based on the needs of individual users. <\/p>\n
