Difficulties when preparing for GRE

A lot of vocabulary: too many resources make it difficult to find the right material for you, you need to choose the list that you have met in the real exam. Through learning start with a few words and then gradually increase to consolidate and supplement vocabulary. My goal is to memorize as many words as possible and learn to combine words without forgetting the beginning.

Extensive math knowledge: Although the Math in the GRE test is fairly easy, involving only general knowledge, it will assess situational analysis and basic math skills, so it is easy to confuse with concepts like mean, median, median, median, mode. In addition, remembering clearly to quickly do the exact items: numerator, denominator, least common multiple, greatest common divisor, rules for reading exponents, etc., is also a challenge so you must grasp it. Be sure to know all the sections.

Writing takes a lot of practice time: After learning vocabulary, you also have to spend time practicing essay writing skills because the higher the score, the more advantages will be. Some schools require a writing score of no less than 3.0 or 3.5 so you need to set aside time and focus on the writing section.

Improper time arrangement: investing and arranging the right time will help you reduce stress as well as forget words because many times when you look at familiar words but can’t remember, then look at the exam schedule to see the time passing too fast.
