Mastering the GRE Test-Taking Experience

In this part . . .

Knowledge, skills, preparation, and practice are the four components for scoring well on any test, and the GRE is no different. Throughout this book, you acquire the knowledge, skills, and preparation required. The practice is up to you, but I provide the guidance to help you practice more effectively. This part helps you prepare for the GRE by providing the basics on what to expect on the test, how to study and build effective test-prep and test-taking strategies, and how to be ready both physically and mentally for test day. Though this part doesn’t focus on any specific section of the GRE, knowing exactly what you’re getting into is essential for scoring well.
