GRE Tips & Strategies

Verbal
In October 2006, questions will decrease emphasis on vocabulary and increase emphasis on reading passages and reasoning skills. Go into the test prepared to do the reading and interpretation that you expect in graduate-level work.

Quantitative
Starting in October 2006, be prepared to see more questions involving "real-life" scenarios, and less geometry.

Analytical Writing
Concentrate on the elements that you'll be scored on: your critical thinking and analytical writing skills. Grammar and mechanics are not emphasized.
