Hi everyone,
I’ve been preparing for about 5–6 months (self-prep) and have taken the GRE four times so far. My scores have ranged between ~313 and 317. My last three attempts were taken very close together (around 2–3 weeks apart), which I now realize may not have allowed enough time for real improvement between tests.
For my recent 2 attempts, I mainly followed the PrepSwift program and completed all PrepSwift videos. In addition, I’ve practiced extensively using:
• GregMat practice problems
• Manhattan 5 lb (Quant)
• GRE Big Book (RC) and all the ETS Books
I now have around 2–3 months of focused prep time before my next attempt and am aiming to break past the 317 range (target 325+).
My main questions:
Given what I’ve already covered, would you recommend switching to the 1-month or 2-month study plan, or continuing with PrepSwift (or combining them)?
For someone plateauing in the low-to-mid 310s, what typically helps most to push into the 320+ range , more content review, tougher mixed practice, or deeper strategy work?
Thanks so much in advance for any guidance!
